Therapists for college students near 80204

Hi! I'm Allison. I'm here to help you with the stress, overwhelm, and anxiety you're feeling as you try to lead the life you want. If you're tired of being REALLY hard on yourself and you want to start letting go of that and be more content with who you are, reach out. I'm anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergence affirming, and I'm ready to support you. I see clients in person near I25 and Colorado in Denver or by telehealth. My goal is to meet you where you are and understand what you want to work on – you’re the expert on your life but I can help you see it differently and make the changes you want. That might include coping strategies, looking at your needs, strengths, and values, using brain/body techniques like Brainspotting to release uncomfortable emotions, and more. I always start with the relationship because you can’t work with someone you don’t trust. I am calm, focused, and empathetic, and I still have a sense of humor. I’m always authentic (and I’m not always the textbook therapist) and I give you the space to be the real you. I’ll see you, I’ll accept you, and I’ll have your back as you make the changes you want. Reach out today for your free 30 minute consultation! You can call, email, or text.

Hello, I’m Alex, a counselor and art therapist in the Wheat Ridge area! I offer virtual and in-person, and I specialize in OCD, anxiety, women’s issues, grief/loss, and alternative/ENM/CNM relationships. I serve ages 16+ and am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQ+ folks. I believe that each person holds the answers to their questions, but I can serve as a tool in helping you define and actualize your values. Let's partner up to build your journey of self-discovery and understanding, and create narratives that grow your ability to love yourself and your life. I have an upfront and honest approach to therapy, where our sessions look like a conversation of getting us closer to the truth about YOU. I'm also passionate about teaching evidence based skills and tools to work into your daily life. The more we understand what’s going on, the more equipped you are to make choices about what you want and who you want to become!

I believe in the inherent worth of each person – a value that can be easier to understand than to apply to us in practice, but progress is best achieved when starting from a foundation of self-acceptance. That’s where I come in. I am a therapist specializing in emotional and somatic processing, parts work, and Mindfulness-based interventions for those with complex trauma, identity issues, depression and anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more. These struggles may seem impossible to overcome, especially when compounded by the adversity of marginalization, identity struggles, or abuse. My mission is to help you feel whole by building skills, developing self-esteem and healthy attachment, and processing your burdens so they can be put down. This includes attuning to the body, calming the nervous system, finding meaning in life, and healing with the compassion and clarity of the true Self. I am here to be a witness, a companion in your journey, and a fellow human being who truly cares. My approach blends Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention skills with Internal Family Systems-based parts work and guided meditation to release trauma and foster self-compassion. In doing so, you learn to make sense of your experiences within the systems around you and foster healing through connection to self, others, and community. Sessions with me sound like: "What was that look there?" "That made me feel a wave of grief. Did you?" "Let’s pause, if that's okay ... Just breathe into the feeling." "All of your emotions are valid, but not all your thoughts are true." "I have some skills for this..." "Let’s talk to this part of you... What does it need? What protects you from?” Above all, treatment should be intentional and built on trust. If this resonates, let’s discuss what you’re looking for together. During my own therapy journey, I learned what it truly meant to “feel your feelings.” At first, the advice seemed absurd; I thought I felt too much. Over time, though, I learned that most of us are never taught how to process emotions or how to let them go. As a Latina and member of the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, I have often felt misunderstood within therapeutic spaces, and this journey taught me the power of accessing and overcoming emotions holding us back. My work is shaped by these experiences, and I strive to offer inclusive care that centers around each person’s unique strengths and needs. When I am not providing therapy, I love to read fantasy books, write poetry, and make art. Dancing and playing sports in the park are also some of my favorite activities, especially with festive drinks and snacks, and some friends.

My therapeutic emphasis is focused on creating a collaborative, open, safe, judgment-free, warm, and empathetic environment for clients. As we navigated through one of the most challenging years of a pandemic, I understand that you may feel as if there is a weight holding you down in life. If you’re looking for help improving your everyday life – or for a more tailored therapy experience – I believe you would be a great fit. I believe we all have an inner resilience toward life's challenges and sorrows, and by rediscovering that resilience, we can find new meaning and joy in our lives. Coronavirus has created a significant You are not alone. You are strong and together we will get through this. If you are seeking help identifying, utilizing and processing your emotions, I encourage you to contact me today. Together, we’ll work on increasing awareness of emotions, separating useful from hurtful emotions and using healthy emotions to guide action.

Hi, I'm Oivia! I offer telehealth and in-person therapy in Denver. I am an Anxiety Specialist supporting college students and young adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management, and relationships. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, helping you move through shame, emotional overwhelm, and self-doubt. Whether you're adjusting to campus life, facing relationship issues, or questioning yourself, I’m here to help you build confidence, develop coping tools, and feel more grounded and confident in who you are.

Let's be honest; it's HARD to find a culturally sensitive therapist who understands what it's like to navigate life as a person of color, especially in the state of Colorado. How do you explain your deep love and respect for certain aspects of your culture while at the same time, acknowledge your disdain for the harmful parts of it? How do you sort through the trauma of not having your emotional needs met as a child while still feeling grateful for your parents' best attempts at loving you? How do you process the desire to assimilate into the dominant culture while not wanting to fully abandon important elements of your identity? As a first-generation American born to ethnically Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia, I understand the joys and frustrations that can come from navigating life between multiple cultures. It is from this lived experience that my passion for supporting others who find themselves in the in-between spaces of their various backgrounds and identities was born. I am especially passionate about supporting other adult children of immigrants, multicultural individuals, transracial adoptees, and BIPOC folks of all cultural backgrounds. I am also Theraplay-trained and offer play therapy to children, with a specific focus on adoptees and little ones who need extra support navigating their big emotions.

We are a small non-profit with 3 location in Arvada, Northglenn and Aurora, CO. We have diverse therapists that specialize in working with children and young adults. Our mission at Blue Channel Therapy is to improve the quality of life of our clients through affordable, high-quality mental health therapy. All of our therapist have speciality training in EMDR. As well as each office has a neurofeedback provider. We are an open and affirming practice and can provide therapy in English, Spanish, French and Swahili.

I believe we don't have to face life's difficult moments alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, questions about identity and belonging, or navigating a new stage of life, I aim to work collaboratively as we define goals, and build resilience and self-awareness. I work with all ages, though primarily work with adults and have experience working with military personnel and their families, individuals diagnosed with chronic medical conditions, college students and first responders. I strive to create a welcoming, safe environment as we work collaboratively towards your goals. As both a counselor and art therapist, I often invite creativity into the therapeutic process as a way to deepen self-expression and self-exploration when word not longer suffice. My work is rooted in trauma informed, person-centered and non-pathologizing care. One of the things I value most as a therapist is remaining open to learning. I am passionate about understanding the many identities, cultures, and experiences that shape our lives and about recognizing how larger systems and environments influence our wellbeing. I strive to meet each client with respect, curiosity, and genuine care.

I work with individuals and families who are navigating life changes, anxiety, depression and overall life stressors. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and valued. Therapy is a place where you do not have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have all the answers; we move at a pace that feels supportive and respectful. Clients often describe me as warm, gentle, and genuine. I use appropriate humor to ease tension, while also offering thoughtful reflection to gently interrupt patterns that may no longer be serving you. Therapy with me is collaborative and supportive, balancing emotional understanding with practical skill-building to encourage meaningful change. My hope is that through our work together, you will feel safer in yourself, more empowered, and more confident in your voice; carrying forward a deeper sense of resilience, self-worth, and the light you bring into the world.

With nearly 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I support adults in creating meaningful change through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, helping you work through emotional challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the process of healing from past experiences so you can develop greater self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself. I believe in the power of compassionate connection and each person's capacity for growth. That belief shapes how I show up: a supportive, authentic partner in your healing journey, walking alongside you as you gain insight, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered is central to my work, as my goal is to help you build the self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion needed to create lasting change. I'm passionate about helping you reconnect with yourself, and I see therapy as a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, one that includes both deep emotional work and moments of hope, gratitude, and laughter. Together, we'll work toward an environment where you feel supported, valued, and understood as you build the tools you need. I use evidence-based, person-centered, and integrative therapy approaches to help you heal, grow, and develop those tools. My style is warm and authentic, and I tailor my approach to your unique needs, experiences, and goals, honoring that every individual's path to healing is different. My path to becoming a therapist began with a lifelong desire to understand, support, and help others through difficult seasons of life. Over the years, my experience working alongside individuals facing a variety of challenges has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered care. Now, I’m honored to bring warmth, authenticity, and curiosity to each session, as I believe that healing happens through genuine connection and that a safe space allows you to be fully yourself while recognizing your strengths, resilience, and capacity to grow. Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family, hiking, listening to music, learning to play the bass guitar, reading, exploring my creativity through painting and writing, and cherishing every moment with my beloved dog, Bodhi.

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. My ideal clients are adolescents and adults navigating challenges with anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. I'm also passionate about working with athletes, performers, and professionals who want to build mental resilience and optimize their performance. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered. I have a wide range of experience, including sport and performance psychology, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and helping clients with identity development. Together, we can explore your goals and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create. If you're ready to begin this journey, I invite you to connect with me.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting teens, and young adults. I create a safe, welcoming space where clients can explore their feelings, build coping skills, and discover their strengths. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping each person find tools that truly work for them. My approach to therapy is supportive, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to be heard and to explore their feelings without judgment. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build healthy coping skills, manage challenges, and feel more confident in their daily lives. Most importantly, I encourage clients to have a voice in their therapy so that we work together in a way that feels right for them.

Do you feel worried or insecure, overwhelmed or numb? Do you feel scared or anxious about social interactions or events happening in the world? Are you struggling to feel able to navigate transitions and stressors that you are facing in life and school? I want you to know that you are not alone in how you are feeling and that I genuinely believe you can find connection, calm, and confidence through engaging in therapy. I also want you to know that I have faced similar challenges to the ones above and have found great healing through interventions that I offer in my therapy practice. My approach in therapy is to constantly be aware of the "whole picture" that impacts each person (oppressive systems, laws, history, world events, family systems, education systems, and relational interactions) while also focusing on the "here and now" of what you are experiencing. The majority of sessions with me are outdoors, in public parks and on trails, to encourage re-connecting to yourself and to the natural world. I also offer sessions indoors and online when the weather does not allow us to be outdoors safely. I am an active participant in each session, whether I am listening, guiding a mindfulness or experiential activity, or being with you in the emotions and experiences that are coming up. My hope is that through our work together, you will be able to re-connect to yourself, find grounding and a sense of peace by connecting to nature, and learn concrete tools and practices that help make navigating daily life more manageable. I recognize that this work can be difficult, takes time, and does not have a clear map. I believe in walking through the journey together, wherever it may lead, with curiosity and empathy along the way.
