Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

Greetings! I provide psychotherapy for adults and I specialize in treating PTSD/trauma-related disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopment difficulties, OCD, and addiction, and have experience with a wide range of other challenges. I also offer limited clinical assessments on a case-by-case basis, including cognitive and academic functioning. I work to create space for anyone who feels I may be of some help in exploring their personal experience and challenge themselves to confront their struggles. Above all, I work collaboratively with each individual to tailor therapy for their optimal healing. My background is in clinical health psychology, so I consider factors of both body and mind throughout treatment. I integrate trauma-specific, psychodynamic, exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, and incorporate neurobehavioral principles throughout. I also have considerable training in neuropsychological and psychological assessment. I see therapy as an endeavor to support others in discovering their own capacity for healing. I see human beings as complex, dynamic, multifaceted beings. Consequently, addressing mental health concerns requires robust, innovative methods for creating change. Above all, I work to support folks in finding ways to not simply address problems, but also thrive.

“I feel hopeless, anxious, and I worry all the time.” “I am a people pleaser and I am exhausted.” “I don’t know how to navigate big feelings/emotions; they’re too much.” Does this sound familiar? I am here to help as you deserve to live a life that makes you look forward to waking up each morning! Feeling hopeless, anxious, and full of worry can be debilitating, overwhelming, and lonely. Oftentimes, our belief in our own resiliency gets buried during these times. I have had the privilege of walking with people of all ages on their life's journey, uncovering their resiliency. There has always been an innate desire to help others achieve their potential and see their own greatness; realize their past doesn’t define them, and their future is theirs to create. If you are ready to uncover your greatness and create goals for a future you create, you can call me or send me a message. I look forward to meeting you!

“I wake up feeling a sense of dread daily”… “Why do I keep avoiding opportunities for change and growth?”… “I often feel like I have no control over my emotions”… “Alcohol has taken control of my life” … If any of these statements feel familiar, I am here to help. Mental health complexities such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction don’t have to control your life. I have witnessed the impact that emotional understanding and healing can have on the quality of life of countless individuals. A new mindset and greater sense of self is possible to enhance your lived experiences. You are deserving of a bright future filled with hope and aspirations rooted in a general sense of wellbeing. Please give me a call or send me a message so we can begin the process of hope and healing together.

“I’m tired of being misunderstood by others.” “I have a hard time facing negative emotions.” “I feel stuck and unsure of my next steps.” “I feel like no one relates to me.” “I wish I was better at communicating my feelings.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I'm here to help. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore who you are, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My passion includes working with individuals to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and self-esteem. I value creativity, authenticity, compassion, and humor—and I strive to bring those qualities into every session. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I’m here to make you feel seen and supported in a safe, warm environment where you can show up as your authentic self. If you'd like to start your therapeutic journey with me, please reach out to me via phone or email so we can discuss how to best move forward.

“I feel stuck and alone” “I want to feel better but I don’t know how to get there” “I am tired of the way I have been living and I need something to change” “I don’t know why I feel this way” You are not alone. I am here with you and want to support you through this. Therapy is not always the first idea that pops into our heads when it comes to dealing with life’s stressors; and asking for support in some of our most hardest times can be challenging. Or maybe you have tried and had a not-so-helpful experience. Each one of us has lived different life experiences and faced hardships that can leave us feeling alone, lost, overwhelmed, and possibly even helpless. While I don't aim to “fix” or “solve” these hardships, I do aim to validate each experience and emotions that comes from these challenges and support you in gaining control of your life again through increasing your self awareness and self-acceptance to help you reach whatever “better” look and feels likes for you.

Is pain from your past or worries about the future making it hard to enjoy the present? Do you want to have more fulfilling relationships with others? Hi there, my name is Meg, and I am happy you found my page! My goal is to guide you in rediscovering and accepting all the parts of what makes you, you. We achieve this together through compassionate care that helps you build confidence, find your voice, and figure out what really matters to you, whether that’s in your relationships, in your work, or how you spend your time. I also help you recognize patterns you’ve been stuck in, habits that don’t serve you anymore, or ways of being that might have been passed down through family, so you can break free from those cycles. I welcome you to my therapeutic space and am excited to get to know you! My therapeutic approach creates a space where you can share your stories while feeling truly heard and understood. Together, we look at what’s working in your life and what isn’t, then figure out how to make changes that feel true to who you actually are. Part of that often means learning to let go of and/or say no to things that drain you, and yes to things that feel meaningful. In this supportive space, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in each of my sessions. I further tailor care to focus on skill building through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), explore patterns of behavior/change through Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma processing with Internal Family Systems (IFS), and build tolerance with anxiety-provoking situations through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as needed. Aside from building the tools to navigate symptoms and experiences related to mental health diagnoses, my ultimate goal is for you to feel realigned to your authentic self, to feel powerful and confident, and to find meaning in your life. Mental health wasn’t something that was prioritized or openly talked about in my family, so it wasn’t until early adulthood that I first began learning about therapy as a volunteer with AmeriCorps. My own experience in therapy eventually inspired me to become a therapist, and I’m deeply grateful for everything that journey has taught me and the ways it has given back to my life. Outside the office, you might find me wandering around a local thrift store, playing with my cat Phil, watching Survivor with my husband, drinking coffee and walking through the Botanic gardens, crocheting, or enjoying other crafty activities that help keep me balanced.

Since graduating in 2023 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Denver Seminary, Andria has worked in various private practice outpatient settings where she has specialized in treating adults. She works well with adult women and men who might feel stuck in life, have trouble overcoming anxiety, struggling to manage stress, are navigating life transitions, or wanting to heal from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. When working together, clients can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative approach, and a safe and supportive environment. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as in internal family systems (IFS), which helps clients to understand and heal the various parts of self that make up one’s internal world. She also utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, as well as mindfulness based and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, healing emotional pain and trauma, building self-confidence, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system. Her therapeutic style is to meet clients exactly where they are at with gentleness to create a safe, individualized path to healing. Andria believes change is possible for everyone, but it is often the narratives, stories and unhealed traumas we have internalized that can make it difficult to move forward. In treatment Andria helps clients learn to recognize these narratives, to understand their roles, and cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and a harmonious internal system to increase self-acceptance and overall, wellbeing. While untangling it all may feel overwhelming right now, Andria is here to shine a light into the dark places, to walk alongside you, and create a space that allows for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward building a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. Together, we'll explore the patterns, thoughts, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck, while also building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your own story. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), always tailoring our work to what feels most relevant and supportive for you. Above all, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or clinical. It can, and should, feel like a place where you are met with honesty, connection, and care as you begin to make sense of your experiences and move toward the changes that matter most to you. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with identity and mental health, experiences that deepened my commitment to creating a space that is affirming and inclusive for others. I believe that growth comes from both insight and action, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate that process.

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!

I am a psychotherapist specializing in overcoming the consequences of trauma for adults of all ages. As a well-rounded clinician with more than 12 years of experience, I help insightful adults overcome the lingering effects of trauma that keep them from optimal living. I specialize in helping people overcome barriers to optimal growth. My approach is collaborative, conversational and compassionate. I'm passionate about helping people access known or newly discovered capacities for meaningful living. Working together, you can expect a relaxed and judgement free environment. I use meaningful conversations, with a mixture of humor and insight, to help clients realize their unique potential for growth. My style is interactional, and I work to honor each person's emotional and spiritual journey. My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age with the realization that complete strangers quickly felt comfortable sharing their deep concerns, regrets, fears, etc. and walked away with a sense of hope and relief. They felt seen and appreciated. These experiences convinced me that a person-centered approach, with the intent of mutual discernment of the path forward, is often the most effective therapy.

If you’re ready to make a meaningful change but aren’t sure where to start, feel free to reach out so we can see if we’re a good fit. I’m here to help you carry the weight and find a way forward that feels right for you.
