Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

To speak of one’s experience can open the door to self-examination and potential change. By giving voice to thoughts that are otherwise left unsaid, it’s possible to both articulate one’s pain and find ways out of suffering. As a clinician, I seek to give each individual room to speak freely and openly about their experience of life, without offering prescriptive solutions to unique concerns. My clinical approach is primarily psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, where I invite people to speak of their experience without censoring their thoughts, leaving room for the expression of something unexpected. I also draw from other practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy, if they suit a particular client or situation. Just as each individual is different, so is every treatment.

Seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. From the moment we begin working together, my goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore life's challenges, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I work with adults of all ages navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and the impacts of addiction. There is a particular place in my heart for emerging adults as they find their footing through identity development, relationships, career pressures, and the significant changes that come with early adulthood. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I approach every person I work with as exactly that: an individual. Drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and narrative therapy, I meet you where you are and build a holistic, individualized therapeutic experience that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Recognizing that each person's experiences, challenges, and healing process are different shapes everything about how I show up for you. My aim, as a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist, is for you to leave each session feeling empowered, supported, and more connected to yourself as you navigate life's complexities. Graduating with my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University in 2023 marked the beginning of a career rooted in purpose. Upon earning my LPC credential, I began providing outpatient therapy in the Boulder area, offering individual counseling to adults seeking support in managing their mental health and building a fulfilling life. At the heart of this work is a deep belief in the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Whatever you are navigating, I am here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

Amber believes that it is a privilege to accompany you on this part of your journey as you gain the strength and courage to be vulnerable and gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which will allow you the ability to both make and maintain meaningful connections with those around you. Amber’s goal is to empower clients to tap into their own potential and remove barriers that prevent them from moving forward. Amber also understands how difficult and brave it is to begin the journey of therapy and commends her clients on taking this very important step. Amber works with the understanding that each client brings a unique variety of experiences and challenges with them and prioritizes meeting clients where they are at and working alongside them to bring their goals to fruition. Amber’s therapeutic approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, tailoring treatment to a client’s unique individual needs and goals by utilizing many evidenced-based interventions and theoretical approaches. These include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including trauma-focused, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Amber has previously worked with a wide variety of clients in an outpatient community setting and her work with those from diverse backgrounds, ages, and experiences have helped inform her therapeutic approach and work with clients.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. With several years of experience, I work with adults navigating some of life's most complex terrain, helping you find your footing when anxiety feels unmanageable, when past experiences weigh heavily on the present, or when relationships and sense of self feel uncertain. Empathy and authentic connection are at the heart of how I work. If you're looking for a thoughtful, attuned partner in your care, I look forward to helping you feel more connected, balanced, and at ease. My approach is gentle, grounding, and collaborative. Sessions are designed to be a safe, restorative space where you can slow down, tune into your nervous system, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Using relaxation techniques and nervous system-focused strategies, I help you reconnect with yourself and build a sense of balance that carries beyond our time together. Every person's needs and goals are different, and I tailor my approach accordingly. Whatever you're working through, you can expect a space that is supportive, unhurried, and shaped around you. A natural empathy for others and a deep desire to support people through life's challenges first drew me to this work. That pull became a purpose, and over time it shaped my commitment to providing warm, supportive, and empowering care. Authenticity and compassion guide every session. Whether you're working to restore a sense of well-being, process difficult experiences, or simply find more meaning in your daily life, I'm here to walk that path with you. Outside of sessions, you'll likely find me on a yoga mat, out on a trail, or setting up camp somewhere with my dog by my side. These practices of mindfulness, movement, and time in nature are part of how I stay grounded, and they deepen my appreciation for the quiet power of simply slowing down.

Hey, I'm Paige! Authentic. Relational. Collaborative. I am a therapist based out of Boulder, and I work with people navigating turning points in life: college students and young adults figuring out who they are. Whether you’re adjusting to life at CU Boulder, managing post-grad panic, navigating identity shifts, or figuring out how to be an adult in a chaotic world, I offer a grounded space to help you find your footing. My practice Facing Mountains is built on the idea that we don't have to face the hard stuff alone. My approach is relational at heart and blends Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). That means we'll explore the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, while also building practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and compassion. Whether you're here to process trauma, navigating major life transitions, or simply trying to breathe through life's chaos, I'll meet you with honesty, care, and zero judgement.

My time as a young ski instructor taught me the value of empathy, which later led to my becoming a mental health therapist. Teaching skiing on the side of a mountain requires building trust and rapport, effectively managing the scene to meet the client's needs and wishes, and maintaining safety all while fostering a fun and educational environment. I've used this empathy-based, client-centered approach throughout my therapeutic practice. Coupled with life experiences, my passion for empathic connection became my calling to train for a career dedicated to exceptional clinical work. When I’m not seeing patients, you’ll find me on the slopes! Skiing is a special blend of exercise, outdoor adventure, and connection with others. As a passionate skier and certified ski instructor, I love sharing this fantastic sport with my wife, family and friends, and students of all levels and backgrounds. Off the snow, I’m often hiking with my wife and friends, enjoying the exercise and the beauty and scale of nature.

You don’t have to keep managing this on your own.

You will find me to be an authentic and direct therapist that will focus on your values and strengths to guide the therapy process. My philosophy is that therapy is the space to get into how and why what you’re trying to do differently isn’t working (because you probably already have enough people willing to tell you), and what you should be doing with your life. I won’t promise that therapy will make the hard stuff in your life go away, but what I know it can do is help you find a way through the hard stuff with meaning and help build resilience. My specialties include depression, anxiety, family of origin issues, interpersonal distress and eating disorders (including binge eating, Bulimia, ARFID, Anorexia and disordered eating as a result of trauma or chronic illness). I also have experience with borderline personality disorder, complex trauma and navigating how to be the support person for a loved one going through mental health issues.

Once we both have a clear picture of the issues, we will get creative within a wide range of therapy modalities to find interventions that fit your life & temperament.In addition to seeing clients, I also provide supervision to psychology students and post graduate clinicians working on their hours for licensure. “I am thankful for my struggle because without it I wouldn’t have discovered my strength.

Whatever is bringing you to therapy, I believe in creating a space to meet what’s here with curiosity, kindness, and support. Hi, I’m Megan. I’m a somatic therapist and have been in practice for 10 years. I work with colleges students and young adults to meet what’s coming up, be it anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges, life transitions, questions of identity, past experiences, or whatever may be happening for you. I support my clients through present moment connection, helping you listen more deeply to what's here, and making space for your experience to be seen and met. One of the things I love about somatic therapy is the understanding that we all have an innate impulse toward health and wholeness inside of us. I meet my clients where they are, and help create the conditions so your inner wisdom can come through and you can feel more at home in yourself and your life.

Life can feel overwhelming and hard. Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about how to move forward. At Evolve in Nature, we believe therapy should provide a safe, compassionate, judgment-free, and shame-free space where you can speak openly, explore what you are experiencing, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful change. Our approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. We recognize that difficult experiences can affect the mind, body, nervous system, relationships, and the way you experience the world. Our clinicians use individualized, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approaches that may include EMDR, somatic and body-centered therapy, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, psychological education, and nature-based interventions. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, we help clients better understand the patterns and experiences beneath them while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting growth. Evolve in Nature offers individual, couples, and group therapy for adults and young adults facing a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. Areas of support include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness and pain, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, identity exploration, LGBTQ+ concerns, adult children of alcoholics, and other experiences that may interfere with feeling connected, grounded, and fulfilled. Psychiatric medication management is also available for individuals who may benefit from medication as part of a thoughtful and collaborative treatment plan. Therapy may take place in our welcoming Boulder office, virtually, or outdoors when nature-based work is appropriate and meaningful to the client. Outdoor therapy may involve walking, sitting in a natural environment, or intentionally using nature to support grounding, reflection, nervous-system regulation, and connection. Nature does not replace the therapeutic relationship; it offers another setting and resource through which healing and personal growth can occur. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out, and you do not need to carry everything alone. At Evolve in Nature, we meet you where you are, take time to understand your experiences and goals, and work collaboratively to determine the support that is right for you. Healing is possible. Growth is possible. You are capable of evolving into a more connected, resilient, and authentic version of yourself.
