Therapists for college students near 80204

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming and uncertain, especially when trauma, identity, or religious experiences have made it hard to feel safe in your own life. I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and suicidal ideation, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients. I provide collaborative, trauma-informed care that builds coping skills, increases insight, and supports lasting change. I support clients in building strong coping skills, stability, and a sense of safety before moving into deeper trauma work. Using CAMS, DBT, IFS, trauma-informed and trauma-focused approaches, I offer collaborative, affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients navigating trauma, identity, and suicidal thoughts. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. You don’t have to do it alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, I welcome you to reach out when you’re ready.

Are you having trouble with falling and staying asleep? Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? I specialize in working with people who are having trouble sleeping, who are experiencing anxiety, and who are going through reproductive transitions or who are experiencing distress related to their reproductive health (e.g., PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum, infertility). In my work, I aim to cultivate a safe space to hold and honor your emotions, while also providing you with new coping tools to help you process your emotions, get some distance from your thoughts, and help you engage with your life. To do this, I use a blend of evidence-based psychotherapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.

You may look like you are holding it together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and tired of riding an emotional rollercoaster. Maybe anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense mood swings are making it hard to show up at work, in relationships, or even for yourself. If you feel like your emotions are too big, your thoughts race, or you keep repeating patterns that hurt you or the people you love, you are not alone. Together we can slow things down, make sense of what you are going through, and build skills that actually work in real life. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, and substance use. I use DBT, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness based tools to help you reduce self blame, manage crises, set boundaries, and create steadier relationships with yourself and others. Clients describe me as warm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I will honor your story while also gently challenging the beliefs that keep you stuck, so therapy feels like a real partnership instead of you doing this on your own. If you are ready to feel more grounded and hopeful, request a session through my Headway link. https://care.headway.co/providers/christina-mathews?state=COLORADO

Trauma-informed mental health services with a focus on empowerment and full-body wellness to help you live your happiest and healthiest life.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, addiction, or the impacts of trauma? I am a licensed therapist and addiction counselor dedicated to providing support to women and LGBTQ+ individuals, offering a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, identities, and mental health. With an understanding of the unique challenges faced by these groups, I am committed to empowering clients to live authentically and work through any obstacles they may encounter. I take a client-centered and holistic systems approach, which maintains that we all have the ability within ourselves to heal, and that our identities, environments, and experiences can have a big impact on our mental and physical well-being. I use a variety of clinical tools, including EMDR, to address the roots of problems, allowing you to move forward. I aim to leave clients feeling empowered by providing a supportive, safe, and affirming space where you can show up just as you are. There will likely be many times we laugh during session, or times where you need to cry, swear, or just rant - know that this is all welcome (and encouraged) on your journey to healing. I look forward to hearing from you!

LET’S BE HONEST: Existing between worlds is exhausting. Co-existing in multiple worlds and cultures doesn’t come with a roadmap. The competing demands and expectations leave you feeling tugged in opposing directions, and you’re left with the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you’ll never be enough for anyone. Even though there are many people in your life, it feels like nobody from any ‘side’ really gets you, and you’re not sure where you truly belong. You’re tired of facing microaggressions when you’re out and about and obstacles to advancing at work. All this is impacting your relationship, where you’re struggling to communicate and feel a sense of togetherness across the divides.

I work best with students who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or exhausted underneath. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, coping with trauma, struggling with perfectionism or intrusive thoughts, or trying to navigate major life transitions. My approach is warm, direct, and practical. I help clients better understand what is happening, build skills that fit their lives, and make meaningful changes without expecting them to become someone they are not.

Are you going through a change in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed with life, navigating relationships with others, and/or managing emotions?

I believe everyone deserves a compassionate person willing to listen. You are the expert of your life and yourself; I try to create an empowering, supportive, free, and safe space for you to be you.

College life is hard. The pressure, the transitions, the anxiety that won't shut off, the days when getting out of bed feels impossible — you don't have to white-knuckle through it alone. I'm Cheryl, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience helping people understand what's actually happening in their brain when anxiety, depression, and stress take over — and rewire those patterns using real, practical tools. Not just coping strategies. Actual change. Using CBT, ACT, and neuroplasticity-based techniques, we'll work together as partners to build a mind that works for you — not against you.

There’s no guidebook for life. It’s easy to feel like you’re falling short when you’re just trying to get through the day. Maybe you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or unmotivated, but continue pushing yourself because you believe there’s no other option, all the while feeling that you’re never measuring up. It might feel like a foreign concept to slow down and listen to what you truly need in each moment, but with the right support, making this shift is possible, and it might give you the relief you need. I’ll focus on helping you learn to be kind and compassionate toward yourself so that you can start living your life from a place of “already enough,” and begin taking actions that truly support your well-being. Sometimes, learning to accept yourself as you are is the first step toward meaningful change. Together, we can explore what might be getting in the way of becoming the person you want to be. I'm here to help you learn how to embrace the person you already are to create the life you desire. If this feels like the right path for you, I’d love to explore working together.

If you've been the victim of a sexual assault, violence, or if you've had relationship struggles or trauma, or family trauma, I would love to help you heal from these experiences so you can step into the healthiest, fullest, version of yourself. In my work I have helped clients find self empowerment and heal from wounds, old and new, to develop a greater sense of who they truly are. You won't forget what happened to you, but you don't have to be held down by it either. In our work, we will address these concerns from a compassionate, trauma informed approach so that you can feel freedom from the what holds you back from living as your most confident, authentic, self! I'm LGBTQIA affirming and practice and work from a Health at Every Size/body-positive perspective. You are welcome to be 100% your real self with me - unapologetically.

I believe that people inherently want to move towards healing, but life is complex and things get mixed up along the way. I work to help clients move towards their most authentic & genuine selves. Within the counseling relationship, I strive to help clients feel supported & empowered so they can explore themselves, their current circumstances, past experiences, & future aspirations. I believe that people are the experts of their own lives but sometimes need a roadmap to help get back to where they want to be.

I'm Julie TenBrook, PHMNP. I'm the owner of Open Minds. Open Minds symbolizes acceptance, on my part, of who you are without judgement. It, also, symbolizes the opening of your mind to change and healing. Being in college is a time of rapid growth. This can be hard. Figuring out how to navigate school, new relationships, new routines and define who you are as a young adult can be stressful. If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious, I can help. Treatment is tailored to what you need. It is usually multi-modal and not "just" medications or "just" therapy. Everyone's needs are different and we can design a treatment plan that fits you.
