Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

If you are looking to work on trauma, anxiety or/and depression and are open to let me treat you with a combination of scientific approaches and spiritual ones, you are a good fit to my practice. My background as a neuroscientist makes me a good fit for STEM students, but artistic students also enjoy my style, since I combine art, and spirituality with evidence based practices. I am Latina and grew up in Puerto Rico. Since I also transition to the Continental US, I love working with International students and enjoy learning from different cultures. I also like to help with acculturation issues. I have worked with many students in my practice and would love to work with you. My colleague, who sees students in person, is also from Puerto Rico and uses trauma based interventions such as EMDR to treat trauma and anxiety. She uses CBT and other somatic imterventions for the treatment of depression. Send me a text or email. See you soon!

Are you feeling like you do not recognize yourself or are disconnected from relationships? Do you find yourself entrapped by negative cycles of thought or addiction? Do you feel broken or lost? Do you find yourself overwhelmed or struggling to motivate yourself? Do you want an intentional touchpoint to be able to be candid and vulnerable without fear of judgment or consequences? Do you want to explore the root of the issues? Any of these important questions are worth exploring with someone you trust! I would be honored to partner with you as you explore this healing work. It is my goal as a therapist to provide a safe environment to help in the exploration, processing, and solution-finding process. I believe each person is unique with their own background, beliefs, understandings, and lived experience. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and thoughts. One of the bravest things a person can do is ask for help. Needing help does not make you weak, it makes you human. If you see yourself in any of the descriptions above, reach out by phone or email.

Self-discovery is possible—piecing together the mosaic of your life to serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” “I can’t move on.” If you experience or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief, you are not alone.
