Therapists for college students near 80204

From a young age, I have been interested in promoting health and wellness and followed my passion into a career in healthcare. I received my Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in 2010. After graduation, I was selected as a National Health Service Corp Scholar and spent two years serving in a rural underserved community. This experience gave me a strong foundation in treating patients of all ages in outpatient and inpatient settings, but while living in a small community, I realized that I was still a city girl at heart. In 2012 I relocated back to Denver and have been practicing in the Denver metro area ever since. Through practicing in family medicine, I have realized how much our mental health affects our well-being and found that my true passion is in promoting mental health wellness. I have a special interest in gut health and how our gut microbiome impacts not only our mental health but our overall wellness. I believe in an integrated approach to behavioral health care that includes nutrition, exercise, meditation, and sleep education. My goal is to collaborate with each patient to form an individualized approach to care. In my spare time, I am an avid runner and have completed multiple marathons including the world-famous Boston Marathon. On the weekends I enjoy taking my love of running to the trails and when I am not outside enjoying Colorado’s sunshine, you can find me in the kitchen trying new recipes and finding ways to incorporate more plants into my diet. I look forward to partnering with you on your healthcare journey!

As an emotion-focused, trauma-informed therapist with over 5 years of experience, I help clients identify and process suppressed emotions often rooted in unresolved trauma. I believe healing begins when we create space for the feelings we've had to bury, and that therapy, though challenging, can be a safe space to reconnect with ourselves.

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I provide a warm, authentic, and trauma-informed approach to therapy that focuses on women’s health, empowerment, and overall wellness. My passion for supporting women began early—through mentoring middle school girls, working with nonprofits dedicated to women’s social justice, and later training to provide mental health services to survivors of interpersonal violence. For the past 12 years, I have remained deeply committed to helping women of all ages navigate life’s challenges and pursue growth and healing. I specialize in supporting women and women-identified individuals through experiences such as managing social media pressures, coping with fertility issues, adjusting to motherhood, navigating the aging process, healing from interpersonal violence, and cultivating self-compassion while balancing multiple roles. My goal is to help clients thrive by fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and empowerment. I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including community mental health clinics and hospital systems. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. My priority is to create a safe, inclusive space where you feel heard, supported, and respected. Outside of my professional work, I value connection, humor, and activities that ground and recharge me. I find joy in good food, laughter, time in nature, and quality moments with family and friends. These experiences remind me of the importance of presence, play, and balance—values I often integrate into my work with clients.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Thoughts like “No one understands me” or “I can’t imagine life being any different” may feel all too familiar. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply going through the motions, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry this by yourself. I’m here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can be seen, heard, and understood. I believe that every person has the inner strength to create meaningful change, even if that feels out of reach right now. My role is to walk alongside you, working collaboratively to explore your experiences, build resilience, and help you reconnect with the life you want to live. My approach is person-centered and grounded in empathy, compassion, and respect for your unique journey. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to support you. Send me a message, and let’s explore how we can begin this journey together.

“I am not good enough.” “My heart begins to race when things become too much for me.” “I am a burden to those around me.” “It feels like things are never going to get better.” I am here to support you. Life can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe everyone deserves a space where their experiences matter and their struggles are met with understanding. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds can feel supported. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, processing trauma, or simply unpacking the everyday struggles of life, I’m here to walk alongside you.

As your therapist, I take a holistic, integrated approach to mental health that is client-centered, collaborative, and affirming. I am passionate about supporting healing through a stronger connection to the self, others, and the environment, all while honoring each client’s unique identity, strengths, and lived experience. In our work together, you’ll undergo true transformation in a setting that fosters growth, trust, and connection, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet you where you are. This collaborative style allows us to adapt each session to align with your personal goals, values, and life events. Outside the office, I love exploring all that Colorado’s great outdoors has to offer alongside my dog, Moose. Hiking, skiing, fly fishing, wildlife watching – I enjoy it all, as well as indoor activities like cooking, journaling, music, and reading. This mix of creative activities helps me stay grounded, recharge, and maintain a sense of joy and balance in my daily life.

“I’m not where I thought I’d be at this point in my life.”...“I find it difficult to manage my emotions on my own.”...“I feel like I’m lacking purpose and motivation.”...“I wish I had more support.”... If you recognize yourself in any of these statements, I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be overwhelming. We aren’t meant to overcome challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions alone. That’s where I come in. Together we will work towards your goals, one step at a time. It is possible to achieve your goals and feel positively about the life you are living. If you’re ready to receive care, give me a call and we can talk about how I can best help you.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. With a warm, client-centered approach, I use a mix of humanistic, strengths-based, CBT, and mindfulness techniques to support clients in processing difficult emotions and discovering their own path toward healing. The focus of this process is collaborating with you, the client, by creating a safe and understanding space, which is the foundation of any successful therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with teens and adults, particularly those who are neurodiverse, including individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also provide support to people navigating grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual, creating a compassionate and supportive environment for growth and healing. Healing comes from within, and you are the expert on yourself. It is always my hope to be an empowering force for you in the pursuit of whatever it is you aim to achieve in therapy. In addition to individual therapy, I am also open to working with family systems when needed, recognizing how important these dynamics can be in the healing process. While we may all be individuals, we are constantly operating within systems.

Hello! I'm Kate, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Colorado. I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals, overcome obstacles, and grow as individuals.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am passionate about helping adult and adolescent patients dismantle shame and live a joyful life as their fullest, most authentic selves. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Health At Every Size (HAES) and social justice-aligned principles, with a focus on those struggling with eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, and anxiety, as well as specialty work with LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Jewish-identifying clients. No matter the struggle, I view each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms and diagnoses, taking a trauma-informed approach to help you develop greater self-esteem and self-efficacy. If you are interested in working together, please reach out and schedule a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you! Working together, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment that supports you in your journey toward greater mental health. I utilize a mixed-therapy approach to help you gain greater self-awareness and act in a way that’s best aligned with your goals and values. These therapies include DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as well as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been committed to helping adolescents and adults break free of patterns that have been keeping them from achieving their goals. I view each client as the expert on their own lives, and enjoy providing them with tools that lead them toward building the lives they want and deserve.

Working together, you can expect a warm and nurturing environment that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you manage current mental health symptoms and work to strengthen your relationship with "self" and others. My style is holistic, and I tailor my approach to each person's unique situation. My time as a caseworker led me to becoming a therapist. As a caseworker, I supported young parents in obtaining their high school and college degrees, an experience that strengthened my commitment to providing empathetic care and highlighted the power of the therapist-client relationship in connecting and supporting a diverse range of individuals.

From a young age, I always had a passion for helping and supporting others. No matter your struggle, I see the human being in front of me, not a label or diagnosis. My vision for our work together is tailored to you and concentrates on your unique, individual needs. My office is a judgment-free zone, so let’s roll up our sleeves and finally talk about the things you've been carrying in silence. I not only accept all, I embrace all. I can’t wait to get started with you! My clinical background centers around the most common mental health concerns you might be facing, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, problems with effective communication, life transitions, anger management, parenting support, body image, gender identity, and support around coping skills. My therapeutic approach values solution-focused care, challenging your beliefs and way of thinking while building a warm and safe space through humor, collaboration, empowerment, and rapport. I also specialize in sex and relationship therapy for individuals. Having seen the impact of stress on sexual minorities, I know firsthand the importance of finding a therapist who embraces the complexities of sexuality and diverse relationship styles. The most common sex therapy concerns I treat that folx bring in are gaps in desire, sexual functioning issues, sexual behavior that feels out of control (commonly referred to as “sex addiction” or “porn addiction”), and many more. No power dynamic, fetish, kink, fantasy, behavior, or desire is too much for us to discuss together. I am also proud to be an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the sex worker community. You are safe here. Outside the office, you’ll often find me photographing the Colorado sights or reading in the mile-high sunshine. And, of course, daydreaming about future travel plans abroad!

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and narrative therapy to help you explore your inner worlds. I believe in your expertise in your own life, and that will be a core part of our work together. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward healing and self-discovery. My path to becoming a therapist began with previous work in public policy and advocacy. This insightful experience deepened my commitment to providing holistic, systems-informed care, where I bring an understanding of the many systems and circumstances that impact patient lives to each session. Outside the office, I can often be found hiking or biking in the mountains, enjoying live music, or at home cooking a good meal or cozied up with a good book.
