Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

Finding clarity, confidence, and direction is possible, and you don't have to figure it out alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults and older teens navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, caught in cycles of overthinking, or unsure of your next steps, this is a space where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood while seeking greater clarity, confidence, and direction. My commitment is to be a steady partner in your care, helping you build insight and move toward a values-driven life that feels more aligned and manageable. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and collaborative by design. Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, we work together to build practical strategies while developing a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself. Sessions are nonjudgmental and shaped around your unique needs, experiences, and goals, in a supportive and flexible environment. Whether the focus is on strengthening emotional awareness, developing coping skills, or moving through a difficult season of life, the direction of our work is always guided by what matters most to you. The goal is to support you in ways that feel meaningful and genuine, even when difficult thoughts and emotions arise. My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in personal experience. At a younger age, navigating anxiety led me to therapy, where I discovered how powerful it can be to feel truly understood while also gaining tools that make a real difference. That experience shaped everything about how I provide care that is both compassionate and actionable. This foundation also drives my commitment to bringing a real, relatable presence to every session while helping patients build skills that lead to meaningful, lasting change. Outside of the therapy room, creativity and movement keep me grounded. Reading, drawing, and working on creative projects are some of my favorite ways to recharge. Movies, time spent with dogs, and quiet walks also bring me a lot of joy.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges that contribute to anxiety, depression, attention and concentration difficulties, codependency, grief, trauma, generational trauma, and PTSD. Compassion, rapport, and curiosity are at the heart of how I work with each person. Every session is designed to be a place of safety where you can explore your emotions honestly and begin creating the kind of meaningful change that lasts. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or managing the demands of everyday life, I'm here to help you find your way through it. Our work together takes place in a compassionate, supportive therapeutic environment where you are seen, heard, and respected. Drawing on person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed approaches, we'll explore the impact of past experiences and build the healthy coping skills and resilience you need to thrive. Self-compassion, mindfulness, and breathwork are integral to my practice, because how you relate to yourself matters just as much as the strategies we develop together. The goal is always the same: to help you become the best version of yourself while navigating whatever life brings your way. My path to becoming a therapist began in social work, serving underserved individuals and communities. That experience revealed just how urgent the need for accessible, quality mental health care for all individuals truly is. Witnessing the power of genuine connection and the difference it makes in people's lives deepened my commitment to providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions that not only manage symptoms but also overcome challenges faced. Today, I bring that same compassion and empathy to every session, while also gently challenging you to explore your internal dialogue, your values, and your most authentic self. Family, friends, and time spent outdoors are central to my sense of well-being, as I believe that joy and play are essential. I also love learning new things, and lately that's meant exploring the world of arts and crafts.

Life has a way of piling up. When it does, the weight of anxiety, stress, or an unexpected change can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. As a mental health therapist specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation, I work with young adults and adults who are ready to make sense of what they're carrying and find their way back to a life that feels meaningful. Whatever brought you here, whether it's daily anxiety, a relationship that's wearing on you, or a constant sense of being off-balance, you deserve a space where you can finally slow down, sort through it, and build real inner strength. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels completely right for you, leaving room for clarity, self-discovery, and growth. It would be a true privilege to walk alongside you on that path. My approach is driven by a genuine belief that every person is capable of meaningful, lasting change, and that the right space makes all the difference. Creating an environment where you feel truly heard, understood, and free to be honest is something I care deeply about, and it shapes everything about how sessions are structured. You can expect warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment in our time together, in a warm and validating environment entirely centered on you. Every session is tailored to your unique story, your needs, and your goals. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you build practical coping strategies and develop emotional flexibility — tools that don't just work in session, but travel with you into everyday life. My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about human behavior and how mental health shapes the texture of daily life. Before this work, I spent years as a university professor, and my own migration journey gave me a firsthand understanding of what it really takes to adapt, rebuild, and grow through difficult transitions. These experiences inform how I show up in the room with you. They taught me how to offer a grounded, trustworthy, and steady presence that allows you the space to look inward and rediscover your own strengths. When I'm not working, I'm usually somewhere outdoors: hiking with my dog, riding my bike, or lacing up my roller skates with friends. Crafting rounds out the mix, and whatever the project, there's always something new in progress.

Hello! My name is Julie Atabe at CarePath Counseling, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, Arizona, and Wisconsin. I see clients via telehealth in CO, AZ, and WI. I also see clients in person in Broomfield, CO. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life and school stress, self-esteem issues, and college transition concerns. I am passionate about supporting college students through the unique challenges they face. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where students can explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop the tools they need to thrive academically and personally. I’m here to offer guidance and support, whether you're dealing with academic pressure, personal struggles, or just looking for someone to talk to. I look forward to working with you and helping you find the balance you need to succeed. I am in network with Aetna, United Health Care/UBH/UMR, and Cigna Evernorth in Colorado only for telehealth and in-person sessions. I also accept self-pay in Colorado, Arizona, and Wisconsin and will provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance if needed.

My practice integrates bodywork with talk therapy. After fifteen years as a Structural Integration practitioner, I trained at Naropa in somatic psychotherapy — so sessions can include hands-on work, movement, breath, and conversation, depending on what's needed. The people I work best with tend to be thoughtful and somewhat introspective. They often sense that talking alone hasn't moved things — that something is held in the body, in patterns of tension, posture, or reactivity. Some arrive with chronic physical complaints alongside emotional ones. Others come stuck in relationships, identity questions, or grief that won't shift. You don't need any background in this work to start. We begin with what you're actually noticing — in your body, your mood, your day — and follow it from there.
