Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

Julia’s passion is guiding people through psychotherapy towards a more fulfilled sense of wholeness and aliveness. Motivated by her interest in understanding people, Julia completed a Masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling at Naropa University and is now in private practice in South Boulder as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She provides therapy for individuals and couples with a variety of mental health and life challenges using mindfulness-based and somatic psychotherapy. She is informed by the belief that health and healing look different for each person, and evolve over time toward our unique version of health and wholeness. Julia creates a space of non-judgement, compassion and humor so that clients can explore their experiences with kindness and understanding. Outside of her professional life, her time is spent creating art, cooking lovely meals, and spending time in the great outdoors.

I have worked with clients for nearly 30 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I focus my work on helping clients foster a lighthearted relationship with the self, body and mind. Together, I work with my clients to discover self-compassion and internal strengths, resources, humor, and focus. I have found that from this place of self awareness, new skills and lasting change can form. In addition, I have a specialty focus working with the Spanish speaking community and Crime Victim Compensation clients. I offer a free phone consultation prior to scheduling the first session if desired.

This transitional phase can be both exciting and overwhelming for young adults as they navigate the intricacies of gaining independence, making career choices, forging relationships, and finding their rightful place in the world. Amidst these challenges, many also face the complexities of managing anxiety, coping with depression, adjusting to the realities of ‘adulting,’ resolving roommate issues, and confronting substance use concerns. I provide a compassionate and supportive environment, offering practical guidance to help young adults navigate these multifaceted changes. My approach is designed to help overcome these obstacles, address emotional and mental health challenges, and foster a deep sense of purpose and direction.

We specialize in supporting undergraduate and graduate students coping with inevitable challenges that come with this time in your life, as well as the profound growth that is possible during this chapter. Particularly, we enjoy supporting students' resilience to shame, social and performance anxiety, grief and loss, body image concerns, perfectionism and self-criticism, panic, and trauma. We also offer support with substance abuse. In addition, we help students move towards empowering the identities and values most important to you, building enriching relationships, and thriving in your chosen passions. Lastly, we offer individual counseling and high performance psychology, group counseling, and psychological testing services, and enjoy working with students across the neurodevelopmental spectrum.

Greetings, I am a transpersonal wilderness therapist, able to offer walk talk sessions in Boulder or virtual sessions that focus on you meeting your goals. I offer safe, compassionate client centered space, to help many college students through hard life transitions.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, the complexities of life transitions and more. You might be struggling with unhelpful thought patterns, emotional overwhelm, or difficult dynamics with others—or maybe you're just feeling stuck and not sure why. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and build meaningful steps toward the life you want to live. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect with the strength that’s already within you. Real change begins in a space that feels safe, supportive, and real. That’s what I aim to create: a place where you can be fully seen, heard, and supported. I show up as a real person in the therapy room—with empathy, warmth, and curiosity. My approach is active, collaborative, and inclusive, grounded in values like self-compassion, empowerment, and nonjudgmental awareness. I strive to strike a balance between being supportive and gently challenging, so you feel encouraged to grow at your own pace. In our first session, we’ll take time to understand who you are, what you’re experiencing, and how your past has shaped your present. I take a holistic view, honoring your individuality, identity, and lived experiences. Together, we will design a treatment plan grounded in evidence-based practices that may include CBT, ACT, DBT or EMDR, empowering you with tangible tools to support your healing and create lasting change.

Hey, I'm Maddie. I'm a therapist who specializes in helping young adults navigate the overwhelming parts of life—anxiety, depression, relationships, identity questions, and all the "what now?" moments that come with this stage of life. Here's the thing: Being a young adult today is hard. You're dealing with massive decisions about your future, trying to figure out who you are, managing relationships, and handling pressure from every direction. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety that makes it hard to focus or make decisions. Maybe you're feeling depressed and just going through the motions. Or maybe you're questioning everything—your major, your relationships, your path forward—and need someone to help you sort it out.

me: In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, and through an attachment-oriented lens, I am focused on harnessing the powerful dynamic of the therapeutic relationship, in order to help individuals locate within themselves a sense of meaning and purpose in the here and now. I am focused on developing each client’s ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, in order to reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm. you: While I work with individual adults of all ages, most of my clients tend to be 25-45, and coming to therapy to work through a variety of human challenges and stressors often associated with complications that occur in the life-stage transitions from adolescence to early adulthood and early adulthood into middle age. For many of us, these life-stage transitions are often extended and/or delayed, leading to feelings of pscyho-emotional paralysis and “stuckness” in repeated patterns of behavior. My practice is also further specialized in working with performing artists and other creative/artistic professionals. The intersectionality of psycho-emotional health and creative identity/artistic process is an area of experience and particular interest to me. Having trained and worked professionally as an actor, prior to earning a master’s degree in clinical social work, I am deeply focused on using the shared language of artistic development to help other artists utilize the many tools and skills they’ve already developed for self-reflection and craft honing as artists, in order to help them create growth, change, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. Although many of my clients meet diagnostic criteria for depression, trauma, and anxiety, I aim to see people beyond the diagnosis and view them as the whole human beings they are. us: Together, we will have a meaningful relationship intended to support and foster your personal growth, resilience, healing, and ability to create internal validity, as well as meaning and purpose in the moment. Our relationship exists within the context and framework of weekly, or bi-weekly, 45-minute conversations, focused on examining all aspects of how your pscyho-emotional health and wellbeing correspond to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. No human is broken. We are all operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting; sometimes for the better, and other times to our own detriment. We are all the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences. Therefore, we will work jointly to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns, in order to learn to move forward, create change, and become the future self that is still yet unrealized.

Let's be real - life be "life-ing" pretty much constantly, and we don't have to do it alone!

If you're a college student who is smart and capable but stuck, we get it. Maybe the structure that carried you through high school disappeared, deadlines pile up, you know what you should be doing and can't make yourself start, or the semester feels like it's slipping away. Noble Mentors pairs you with a mentor who works with you in real life, not just in an office: on campus, at a coffee shop, on a trail, or on video from anywhere. Together you build the systems that actually work for your brain (time, tasks, routines, follow-through), practice them side by side, and then you own them. We work especially well with students with ADHD, executive function challenges, autism and neurodivergence, social anxiety, or the general feeling of being off track. Mentoring is not therapy and doesn't replace it; many of our students also see a counselor, and we coordinate with your care team. Every mentor is trained and supervised, with clinical oversight from our Clinical Director, a licensed clinical social worker. In person across Boulder, Denver, and the Front Range, and by video nationwide. Free 40-minute consultation, and you get to choose your mentor.

Many students have mental health concerns from time to time. We feel stuck or face certain challenges. Sometimes we know what’s wrong and other times, we have the nagging sensation that something feels “off.” It can be stress, anxiety, depression, or academic pressures. When we understand the causes of your troubles, we can alleviate your symptoms. And, when we do, you’ll feel renewed and be a better student, friend, romantic partner, son or daughter. When your desire for your own welfare overrules your limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, what you aspire to starts flowing into your lives—be it a relationship, academic success. Your manifestations become effortless, without internal strife and resistance.

I am a licensed psychologist based in Lafayette, Colorado, working primarily with adults. My clinical approach blends psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral theories, allowing me to tailor therapy to your specific needs. I believe that understanding our patterns is crucial to building a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and sustainable. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I am committed to the dignity of all individuals and strive to create a welcoming, safe, and confidential space. My style is relaxed, curious, and focused. I prioritize understanding more than just symptoms or diagnoses; I want to understand you. I encourage clients to be honest, take reasonable risks, and learn to trust themselves so they can move forward with courage and conviction. I bring over a decade of diverse experience to my practice. After earning my Doctor of Psychology degree from Rutgers University, I joined the faculty at Albany Medical College’s Department of Psychiatry. There, I supervised residents, lectured, and developed a model of psychotherapy integrating client-chosen music. I am currently licensed in Colorado, New York, and all PsyPact* states. Outside the office, I live in Erie with my wife, daughter, and our rescue pup, Maisie. You’ll usually find me riding my motorcycle, playing the cello, or trying everything in my power to make my 9-month-old giggle. A classically trained cellist in a "former life," I believe resolutely that music is medicine. I welcome inquiries and am happy to schedule a free consultation.

Safe, supportive people are difficult to find. Often we don’t have the tools or relationships we need to heal and to thrive. I provide in person therapy, with emotional support dogs in the office. In my counseling office, you can experience the support you need to feel safe, become your best self, forgive yourself and others, learn mindfulness skills to manage difficult emotions, and reprocess past hurts and traumas, in order to move forward. You will develop skills and resilience for living in these uncertain times. I am Licensed (LPC), Nationally Certified, trained in EMDR, Splankna Spiritual Energy work, and Trauma Certified. I enjoy working with clients who are empaths, highly intelligent, highly sensitive, and connected to spirituality.

Change is hard, and getting to know yourself is a process! Some of my clients are neurodivergent, and want support in adjusting to new surroundings and building new skills. I also work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and with other mental health concerns. My background is in somatic, movement-based counseling. In sessions, we might spend time learning more about what your body is telling you, and working with it to find balance and relief. Sessions can also look like talking about life, using expressive art to explore your emotions, or practicing mindfulness skills.
