Therapists for college students near Denver, CO
Lauren Battista
As a therapist, I aim to help individuals navigate the sometimes messy, uncomfortable parts of growth so they can move toward a life that feels more authentic. I create a space for clients to be with and feel their emotions fully so that they stop controlling their behaviors. I believe that we must be intentional with what we spend our time and energy on. When we decide what matters most to us and channel our energy into those things, rather than the things that drain us, this is when we can create real, lasting change. Therapy with me is about learning how to shift your focus to the here and now; towards what strengthens you, rather than what drains you. I am a trauma-informed, relational, collaborative provider and when working with me, clients can expect a combination of compassionate challenging, emotional attunement and a warm, supportive presence. I am passionate about my work with teens, young adults and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues and trauma. I also specialize in EMDR, Brainspotting and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and often incorporate a blend of modalities in treatment, depending on each client’s unique needs. If you’re ready to step into the next version of yourself, I’d love to be part of your journey. Let’s get started.
Addie Marler, LPCC
Welcome! I support individuals navigating complex family dynamics, relational trauma, anxiety and depression. More than that, I work with anyone feeling stuck within their life with hopes of creating meaningful change. People who see me may need help making sense of their life experiences or developing strategies to move through them. I'm particularly passionate to work with women and queer individuals. Clients seeing me may be impacted by people pleasing, big feelings, perfectionism, or chronic numbness. If any of this resonates or you just have that feeling, I'd love to connect.
Brittney Melendez, LPCC
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next? You don’t have to have your life figured out before starting therapy. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, career and school stress, identity, relationships, & major life transitions. Together, we can explore what’s underneath these experiences, better understand yourself, and find a direction that feels authentic to you.
Dr. Alyssa Nadolny DNP, PMHNP-BC
Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Nadolny DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe mental health care should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely listens—not a place where you feel judged, rushed, or like you have to have everything figured out. College can be an exciting time, but it can also come with a lot of pressure. Between academics, relationships, friendships, family, identity, career decisions, and simply figuring out who you are, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and work together to figure out what might help. I work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment planning, with an emphasis on education and shared decision-making. I want you to understand the “why” behind your treatment and feel like an active participant in your care. I take a collaborative, compassionate approach and meet each person where they are. There is no expectation that you have the right words or know exactly what you need when you come in. We can figure that out together. Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. My hope is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to navigate both college and everything that comes after it.

Jeannette Smith, LCSW
I work best with college women who are thoughtful, driven, and often putting a lot of pressure on themselves to get things right. You may be struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or boundaries, even when you seem confident and capable on the outside. Maybe you overthink decisions, worry about disappointing others, or have a hard time knowing what you actually want or need. Often, these struggles don’t come out of nowhere. Past trauma, abuse, or painful relationships, especially sexual or emotional abuse, can shape how you see yourself, trust yourself, and connect with others. You may find yourself putting your needs aside, keeping the peace, questioning your feelings, or struggling to feel safe and secure in relationships. My private practice focuses on helping teen girls and young adult women heal from complex trauma. I bring more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field and advanced training in trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR and Brainspotting, along with IFS-informed parts work and somatic interventions. Together, we can better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped you while helping you trust yourself, find your voice, set healthier boundaries, and build more secure relationships. My hope is that you grow in confidence and experience greater freedom to move forward with a stronger sense of who you are and who you were made to be.

Anne Giles
I work with clients who are—grappling with the aftermath of a traumatic event, experiencing overwhelming anxiety that disrupts their daily lives, or struggling with strained relationships. I help clients find inner peace, regain a sense of control over their emotions, and rebuild healthy connections, ultimately aiming to reclaim their quality of life and well-being. I blend mindfulness-based strategies and somatic techniques into therapy sessions with my clients. Mindfulness fosters self-awareness and emotional control. Somatic practices aid in alleviating physical tension and addressing stored trauma in the body. Beginning the healing journey may seem overwhelming, but you're not alone. My door is open, offering a safe and understanding space as we navigate a road towards peace, resilience, and personal growth.

“I feel a loss of control in my life.” “I can’t seem to prioritize my self-worth and care in relationships with others.” “I feel like I don’t have a sense of purpose or meaning in life.” “I don’t want to burden others with my problems.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I hear you.

“I don’t know what to do, I feel stuck.” “I’ve never felt so alone.” “This is too much for me to handle.” “My past keeps getting in the way of my daily life.” These are some of the common concerns I’ve heard from clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone, and it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, scary, or isolating. Therapy can help you overcome obstacles and provide useful tools for the future. I work with adults, young adults, and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and various traumas. Using acceptance and commitment therapy, I collaborate with clients to help them make meaningful changes, become more present, and work through difficult emotions. I’m passionate about helping you pursue your goals and gain a new outlook on life! I know that reaching out to a therapist can feel intimidating, so I do my best to provide a comfortable, safe environment where you can feel supported. I would love to accompany you through your unique journey toward living the life you want. I am currently taking clients in-person and virtually. Call me or send me a message to set up your free 15 minute consultation.

Your story matters. I help clients to deepen their awareness and understanding of themselves and their relationship to others. I aim to help you discover effective coping strategies in a collaborative process based on your needs and goals.
