Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

I am a licensed psychologist based in Lafayette, Colorado, working primarily with adults. My clinical approach blends psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral theories, allowing me to tailor therapy to your specific needs. I believe that understanding our patterns is crucial to building a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and sustainable. As an LGBTQ+ ally, I am committed to the dignity of all individuals and strive to create a welcoming, safe, and confidential space. My style is relaxed, curious, and focused. I prioritize understanding more than just symptoms or diagnoses; I want to understand you. I encourage clients to be honest, take reasonable risks, and learn to trust themselves so they can move forward with courage and conviction. I bring over a decade of diverse experience to my practice. After earning my Doctor of Psychology degree from Rutgers University, I joined the faculty at Albany Medical College’s Department of Psychiatry. There, I supervised residents, lectured, and developed a model of psychotherapy integrating client-chosen music. I am currently licensed in Colorado, New York, and all PsyPact* states. Outside the office, I live in Erie with my wife, daughter, and our rescue pup, Maisie. You’ll usually find me riding my motorcycle, playing the cello, or trying everything in my power to make my 9-month-old giggle. A classically trained cellist in a "former life," I believe resolutely that music is medicine. I welcome inquiries and am happy to schedule a free consultation.

Hey! My name is Elena, I use she/her pronouns, and I work with rebels, rioters, and revolutionaries. My practice is one that centers and celebrates authenticity, courageous exploration, and a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. In practice, this can look like taking the time to build trust and connection, pulling from a wide variety of modalities, and curiosity and silliness when needed (which I believe is often!) I have seen many therapists feel the need to rush into “fixing”; in my work, there is no rush and there is no “fixing”. Together, we will sit in the messy experience of being human; exploring and learning from our pain while uplifting and celebrating the joys. We will co-create your therapy experience, making it into whatever you need it to be in order to feel as safe as possible. I bring an anti-oppression and decolonization lens to the work of therapy, as this helps to ensure that I do my best to mitigate the harmful impacts of these systemic issues in the healing space. I will certainly make mistakes. I hope you do, too! These are opportunities for both of us to practice collective learning, unlearning, and healing. I believe that therapy is community. We may share certain identities and there will be those we do not share, yet it remains a community. Let's be in joyous community together!

My approach as a therapist focuses on providing a space that centers your dignity and care. As a professor and administrator in a university, I recognize and understand the competing needs and interests of students. Sometimes managing studies, and other responsibilities, including work, family, relationships, can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to prioritize what is important. This might manifest as burnout, lack of focus, feelings of anxiety or sadness, as well as chronic or recurring illness, fatigue, impulsive behavior, or isolation. Often it is helpful to have a safe space to unload and release what is on our minds, and share what we are holding. I understand starting this therapeutic process requires courage and vulnerability, and I am dedicated to building a collaborative partnership that honors your experiences and needs, offers a space where you are seen and heard, and feels empowering. My therapeutic approach is care centered, and incorporates a social justice and trauma informed lens, to meet your unique needs and identities. When helpful, I also used mindfulness and somatic approaches to support reflection, regulation, and resilience. Reach out to schedule a Free 15-minute Video Consultation to help us determine if we're the right fit. I look forward to working with you!

Figuring out who you are and what you want while in college is such a powerful but stressful time. Not to mention trying to navigate friendships, family, your own mental health, and possibly figuring out other identity pieces, too (such as sexuality, gender identity, or possible neurodivergence). I get how confusing and big things can feel and I would absolutely love to dive into all of the things that are important to you. Helping you sort through your emotions, ideas, boundaries, relationships, values, identity, and where you want to go in life (and attempt to take care of yourself in the process). I bring creativity, humor, experiential approaches (art or somatic work), and trauma-informed perspectives to how I work. I am also a queer and neurodivergent identified therapist, so I understand the process of coming to understand yourself when you feel different from the world around you.

I help college students with anxiety, ADHD and family conflict. I specialize in helping them with the uncertainty of being on their own, the pressure of pleasing their family, and working through relationship stressors to graduate. Most of my clients are young men making a transition to launching and women that feel judged by other women and family.

My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through these approaches, I help you better manage symptoms, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve your day-to-day functioning. Equally important to me is helping you reconnect with your own strengths and values through a strong emphasis on self-compassion. Together, we work within a patient-centered, trauma-informed framework that helps you better understand your thoughts, process difficult experiences, and develop effective coping strategies that work for your life. Because no two people are the same, I continuously adapt my style to best serve you, ensuring that every session feels purposeful, supportive, and genuinely yours. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by someone who knew the work well: my mom, who is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Through her guidance and mentorship, I developed a strong foundation in compassionate, patient-centered care early on. This experience shaped not only my career path but also my dedication to showing up fully for the people I work with, reinforcing my belief in the importance of empathy, connection, and creating a therapeutic space where you feel genuinely supported. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time in nature, whether that’s hiking, skiing, or camping. Being outdoors is one of the ways I recharge and stay grounded. I also have a lifelong passion for dance. I grew up as a competitive dancer and continued as a student athlete on my college dance team. Today, dance remains one of my favorite forms of self-care and self-expression, reminding me of the importance of movement, creativity, and balance in everyday life.

Hello, I enjoy supporting college students who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, and grief and loss. I am passionate about supporting women in particular. I specialize in fostering deeper self-knowledge and self-compassion through mindfulness techniques, Internal Family Systems, and art therapy. These approaches offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and acceptance-based framework for inner inquiry, helping to improve emotional regulation and alleviate the severity of symptoms. In our sessions together, you can expect a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental space where I will support you explore new ways of addressing inner conflicts and emotional distress with greater confidence and clarity. What makes my practice unique is my commitment to working from an open-hearted place.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience, I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and their families as they navigate mental health-related challenges. I take a warm, thoughtful approach that is grounded in empathy in order to better help you heal from issues such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and relational conflicts. If you are seeking clarity, relief, and the tools to move forward with greater confidence and connection, please reach out today. I look forward to helping you build practical strategies to navigate stress, deepen self-understanding, and foster resilience. Working together, you can expect a safe, warm, and nonjudgemental space adapted to your unique needs and goals. I believe in meeting people where they are, with compassion, curiosity, and respect, which helps me be a steady and attuned partner in your healing process. Throughout our time together, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and solution-focused approaches, as well as exposure response prevention techniques. This collaborative style is designed to support you in your personal growth, resilience, and sense of possibility. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep curiosity about how people heal and grow. Over time, this passion evolved into a lifelong commitment to providing integrative, compassionate care. Now I am dedicated to bringing a bio-psycho-social lens to each session, honoring the complexity of every person’s story. I enjoy a wide range of hobbies outside the office to keep my mind and body active! These include watching movies and shows, reading, playing video games, practicing my photography skills, and crafting.

A clinical therapist with 5 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping adults and teenagers navigate the complex intersection of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, substance use, life transitions, and the difficult process of reentering society after incarceration I'm passionate about guiding individuals through trauma-informed care, valuing the worth of each person, and focusing on strengths as they regain stability, rebuild relationships, and find purpose. I look forward to helping you move toward lasting emotional and personal growth in our work together. Working together, you can expect a compassionate and empowering environment customized to your unique mental health challenges, life circumstances, and personal goals. My style is collaborative, empathic, and nonjudgmental, helping me become a trustworthy and sympathetic therapist throughout each session. Care may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ERP, motivational interviewing, and other approaches to help you build coping skills and foster meaningful change. My passion for social work was shaped by watching a loved one struggle with mental health and addiction and seeing how a compassionate social worker helped them find stability and hope when our family felt lost. This firsthand experience deepened my commitment to providing kind, trauma-informed care that meets people where they are in the therapeutic setting, where I bring a grounded, empathetic perspective to each session, along with a deep respect for every patient’s resilience and lived experience. I love indulging on my creative side whenever possible! My hobbies outside the office include flipping Mid-Century Modern (MCM) furniture, tufting rugs and wall art, and making cards.

College can be disruptive and difficult. I am here to support you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise in this season of life. I want to help you live your most meaningful life. I will work with you to deeply explore who you are, what you truly want, and what past beliefs or experiences may be holding you back from your growth. Together, we will uncover the ways in which you may have abandoned parts of yourself over time. Using masks or personas as a means of survival can damage you on a core level, reinforcing the false belief that you are not enough as you are. But the truth is: you are enough. Let’s examine the events, people, and circumstances that have wounded your sense of self, so you can reconnect with the authentic person you are. Therapy is a hero's journey that requires vulnerability, but the honesty you will find is profoundly liberating. If you are ready to begin this transformative work, I would be honored to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. If you have questions or want to learn more, please visit my website at www.theworkshoptherapy.com, or feel free to reach out via phone at (206)920-7168 or email.

To speak of one’s experience can open the door to self-examination and potential change. By giving voice to thoughts that are otherwise left unsaid, it’s possible to both articulate one’s pain and find ways out of suffering. As a clinician, I seek to give each individual room to speak freely and openly about their experience of life, without offering prescriptive solutions to unique concerns. My clinical approach is primarily psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, where I invite people to speak of their experience without censoring their thoughts, leaving room for the expression of something unexpected. I also draw from other practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy, if they suit a particular client or situation. Just as each individual is different, so is every treatment.
