A therapy session with me always starts with you. I want you to feel safe and comfortable as you share your situation. While making that first call to a therapist is difficult, most people feel great relief once they do. My main focus is Women in College, processing their challenges and moving toward who they want to become. My goal for you, is to help you find relief quickly. I work with people facing a variety of challenges, including: Anxiety, Life Transitions, Stress, Conflict, Trauma and Childhood Trauma. I offer support, encouragement, and guidance. Therapy is not about living a stress-free life, but rather learning how to navigate that stress with confidence and skill. The work we do is interactive, and I will encourage you to explore options, opportunities and choices. We will work together to help you create a sense of calm, self-assurance and stability as you navigate your life and the issues that have brought you in to meet with me. In my experience, clients I have done EMDR therapy with have had quicker, more effective and longer lasting results than traditional talk therapy. Release the past, calm the present, and learn to trust your Inner Wisdom! Call or text Tenaya at: 720-440-0080 Telehealth (computer sessions) available.

You've been feeling anxious, depressed, maybe your relationships are struggling. Feeling overwhelmed, like you are not in control of your life can get in the way of your job, school, your confidence and your ability to be present in daily life. You might be thinking, "nobody knows what I'm going through" or have thoughts telling you that “you are just not good enough.” Healing is possible. Get the help that you need to move on from the difficult things that have happened to you. It is my number one goal to support you and help you experience a sense of safety and stability. You will learn coping mechanisms and ways of managing the overwhelming feelings and emotions. I use EMDR and sensorimotor psychotherapy, which just means working with the body. I believe our bodies can help us in the process of healing. EMDR is very effective for depression, anxiety, PTSD and much more.

As an art therapist, I utilize the creative process as a means of self-exploration, stress relief, and emotional healing, particularly for individuals who find it difficult to articulate their feelings or experiences in words. With collaboration, connection, and creation an individual can navigate life’s challenges, explore their meaning of self, and find empowerment in the therapeutic process. Whether addressing specific mental health issues, processing trauma, or simply improving emotional health, art therapy can be a powerful tool in promoting overall wellbeing. I have worked with individuals who live with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, and more. I currently have availability in the late mornings and afternoons. Please reach out if you would like to connect or if you have any questions!

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults for the past 20 years. My therapeutic style can be described as interactive, empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently challenging. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is essential to positive, healthy change. It is often the relationship with a supportive and skilled therapist that allows people to talk about and explore issues/struggles that feel too difficult to explore on their own. Because therapy is such a unique and personal journey, therapy is centered on you and your unique needs as we work together to build on your strengths, focus on solutions and develop new skills and insights, to help you achieve the personal growth you are seeking.

Hi! My name is Alicia, and I want to meet you. Yes, you! College can be intense. You're away from home with the pressure to succeed and do well, but there's also dealing with roommates, parties, and being around people who resemble aliens. You know, they just don't get you and you've never encountered anyone quite like them before. On top of this, you may be the first in your family to go to college. You can't admit to them that it's hard. They had all their hopes and dreams riding on you. So where to go? Come to therapy! Yes, therapy. It may be your first time talking to someone, but I promise it helps to tell someone what you're thinking and what you're feeling. College doesn't have to be scary, and you don't have to go through it alone. We can figure it out together. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with many college students, especially those who identify as first-gen and/or veterans. Therapy with me is conversational. In sessions, you can speak freely. I'm not into judging. That would probably make me a lousy therapist. I offer thoughtful reflection and point out patterns in your behavior that may not be the most helpful, and then we problem-solve and strategize solutions to help get you feeling better. I can also teach you skills to help when your emotions feel overwhelming.

Our 20s is a special time AND it's kind of confusing. We're figuring out who we are and how we fit into this world. No small task. You're feeling frustrated with your relationships and you're not sure how to do things differently. You were never shown how. Where do you fit in this world? Who do you want to be? You're figuring out your passions and how to make that into a sustainable career. I can help you gain clarity and support you as we explore what works and what doesn't. Gently and at a pace that feels good for you. We can clarify your relationship values, understand what healthy boundaries look like in your life, and learn to communicate your needs effectively. I offer both teletherapy and in-person Equine sessions. Working with horses gives us a unique way to connect and learn about ourselves. Visit my website to learn more about my offerings and schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consult.

Everyone deserves a safe and nonjudgmental space to be truly heard. I specialize in helping young adults and college-aged individuals navigate life’s complicated middle— transitions, uncertain decisions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts. I also specialize in treatment for anxiety and depression. I have over 19 years of experience providing therapy and interventions with youth and young adults. My extensive experience in school social work has given me the opportunity to better understand the social, behavioral, and emotional experiences that young people navigate each day.

When life feels like too much to hold on your own, there is overwhelm, anxiety, uncertainty, or you could just use some extra support, therapy can be a beautiful choice. Therapy is many things; understanding old, habitual patterns, processing painful or confusing emotions, cultivating resources, reclaiming pleasure, and developing a trusted relationship with another person to process the most vulnerable parts. If talk therapy has already been tried and feels stale, then art and creativity, somatics, nervous system awareness, and nature connection can offer a profound alternative in your therapeutic journey. This is where I come in. I weave together art and creativity, somatics, nature-connection, and mindfulness. As well as reflection, contemplation, and talking to integrate. I work well with themes of identity, times of transition, expansion, self-compassion, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, decision making, burn-out, relationship dynamics, addiction, trauma, and parts work.

Hello, I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I have a couple of openings this spring/summer! My experience has allowed me to bring a deeper perspective to situations, and I know the value of giving that feedback to my clients. Do you want help with relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss & grief, life transitions, cultural/racial issues, health problems and substance use? Send me a message and I'd be glad to do a free consult call with you. If I'm not the right therapist for you, I'm happy to give you some names of colleagues. I use a variety of approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic and Existential therapies. I'm licensed in Colorado, California and 42 other states through PsyPact. That means when you go home for the summer/breaks and it's likely I'll be licensed in your home state!

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.

Welcome! I am confident in every person's ability to heal. I work with teens and adults suffering from PTSD, OCD, anxiety, body image and sleep-related issues. I work holistically with evidenced-based techniques to provide relief quickly. The relationship between you and your therapist is more important than any specific technique. A therapist may have all the training and credentials, but if you aren't comfortable with them, true healing will be challenging. When working with me, you get to decide the pace of therapy. We can incorporate talk therapy with other modalities, whatever is most appropriate for you and your needs. Throughout the process, you will notice an increase in self-esteem and resilience and a new confidence in your ability to regulate your nervous system. If there are events from your past that interfere with your ability to live life fully, I am committed to helping you make real shifts. I use advanced EMDR protocols, Exposure & Response Prevention (for OCD), and CBTi for insomnia. I am trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to support individuals suffering from depression. I love emphasizing mindfulness and psychoeducation to reduce shame and heal the nervous system. Whether you a have a specific need or several topics to address, I am here for you. I meet clients where they are, letting them set the pace while I offer guidance and containment. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am licensed in both Colorado and Hawaii and offer telehealth.

Hi there! My name is Ainsley Nuhn, I am a licensed psychotherapist in Boulder, Colorado I am also the owner of Reframe Counseling. LLC. Reframe Counseling is a place for people to receive therapeutic services for a variety of issues including: Stress, Anxiety disorders, Trauma recovery, OCD, Depression, ADHD, Relationship Issues, Communication Issues and Transitions. Reframe Counseling is based on the concept that much of what gets in our way to feeling secure is how we are perceiving our experiences, thoughts and feelings- the "frames" in which we see ourselves and the world. The narratives and coping patterns we have adopted may have been useful at one time, however they now may get in the way of us living our best lives. I work with clients to identify what is getting in the way for them. Through empathic support and guidance, I help clients process challenges and adopt healthier ways to manage life. As you are unique and not one modality "fits all", I interweave therapeutic modalities to customize treatment to each person. We will work together to address the issues that are most problematic for you, customizing treatment according to your goals. I offer virtual and in-person sessions. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in meeting. I offer free initial phone consults and am happy to talk with you about your needs and answer any questions you may have about therapy.

My clients are smart, self-aware people who've been managing a lot on their own for a long time — and they're tired. They want to stop overthinking everything, feel more solid in their relationships, and figure out who they actually are underneath the performance. A lot of them are queer, neurodivergent, or both, and they're done explaining the basics to their therapist. They want someone direct, who notices patterns, and who won't let them stay comfortable when they're ready for something different. I'm a clinical psychologist. I work with attachment, identity, and the ways people get stuck trying to hold it all together. My style is warm but direct — I'll give you real feedback, not just nod and reflect. We use what works, and go at the pace your nervous system can handle. If you want an authentic therapist who's honest with you, helps you build skills that work outside the room, and actually tracks whether things are getting better — reach out. We'll figure out what matters and go from there.
