Therapists for college students near Denver, CO

With over 7 years of clinical experience, I specialize in providing evidence-based care to individuals navigating depression, anxiety-related disorders, trauma, and mood disorders. My therapeutic work is grounded in approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to ensure treatment is tailored and effective.

“I don’t know how to control these racing thoughts.” “I’m afraid of letting people down in my life.” “I feel weighed down by my past.” My passion in counseling is helping individuals with anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, and trauma. Therapy should be a place where you can express yourself without judgement, fear, or concern. I will walk with you as you uncover greater strength by becoming a healthier, happier version of yourself. With strong principles of compassion and trust, we will use tools to promote growth through practical goal-setting and building a strong therapeutic alliance. I use CBT, person-centered, and creative art techniques to help identify and understand any negative patterns. Working together, we can look into behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to build goals that highlight your strengths and replace unhealthy behaviors with new coping strategies. Please reach out today by calling or emailing me to set up your free consultation call.

I use a variety of counseling ideas and techniques to fit your unique needs and life experiences. We will work together to find an approach that feels safe, supportive, and effective.

“I can’t bring myself to share the weight of my experiences with my family.” “I'm constantly masking who I am to make others feel comfortable.” “People see my behavior, but they don't understand what's behind it.” “I don't feel in control of my own life.” If you recognize yourself in any of these, or struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’d be honored to support you. “I can’t bring myself to share the weight of my experiences with my family.” “I'm constantly masking who I am to make others feel comfortable.” “People see my behavior, but they don't understand what's behind it.” “I don't feel in control of my own life.” If you recognize yourself in any of these, or struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’d be honored to support you. I provide a space where your story is welcomed and valued without judgment. My work is informed by Family Systems Theory and Feminist Theory, with an emphasis on the ways relationships, identity, and broader systems influence who we are. Whether you’re facing transitions, identity questions, or challenges in connection, we can focus together on what feels most important. I recognize the heaviness of ongoing change, missed opportunities, and the pressure to keep parts of yourself hidden. You don’t have to hold that by yourself. This is a place to be seen, supported, and understood.

I believe this truth lies at the heart of mental health. My role is to create a supportive environment where you can safely express your pain, and—at your own pace—begin facing it voluntarily. My goal is to help build your resilience and sense of competence in the face of life’s challenges, with the hope that one day you will no longer need me. I work primarily from an Adlerian perspective, emphasizing the importance of purpose and community belonging—vital elements of mental well-being that are often overlooked. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy to help address more acute symptoms of distress, particularly for those struggling with anxiety and OCD.

“My anxiety keeps me on edge and I can never relax.” “I overthink everything and it keeps me up at night.” “I struggle to communicate with others.” Do you have thoughts like these? If so, we can work through them together. If you’re struggling with something overwhelming, therapy can help you find clarity and a path forward. Maybe you’re experiencing depression that leaves you drained, lasting effects of trauma, or relationship struggles. You don’t have to face these things on your own. I’m here to offer a caring and supportive space where you can heal and grow. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as walking alongside couples and families as they strengthen their relationships. Using a mixed-methods approach, I will work with you to set goals and create a plan to help you get where you want to go. Please reach out by giving me a call or sending me a message.

Feeling stressed and anxious? Worried about fitting in, getting good grades, disappointing other people? Therapy is a great place to learn how to manage these types of worries by learning more about yourself and the roots of these feelings. I offer culturally competent, trauma informed therapy for individuals and couples facing the every day struggles of being alive. I am a cis-gendered heterosexual Asian American woman. My pronouns are she/her. I use many modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, among others. I have a Masters degree in Social Work from New York University and a Bachelors of Arts from Harvard University. I have over 15 years of professional experience. I offer both in-person and video sessions. My office is located on Broadway and Baseline, just south of the CU Boulder campus.

You might be a good fit for working with me if you feel like you’re holding a lot inside. Maybe you look like you have it together on the outside, but internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted—especially when it comes to relationships with family, partners, or friends. You might be dealing with stress from school while also trying to navigate breakups, family tension, or long-standing patterns in relationships that you don’t fully understand yet. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I should be able to handle this,” but something still feels stuck. If you tend to be someone who cares deeply about others, takes on responsibility, and pushes through—even when it’s hard—you’re not alone. Many students I work with feel this way. They’re not broken or failing; they’re just tired of carrying everything by themselves. If you’re looking for a space where you can slow down, talk honestly, and learn practical ways to cope while also making sense of what you’re going through, we’ll likely work well together. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to show up as you are.

My name is Amanda, and I have a long history of working with college students in a variety of contexts. I support students who navigate identity issues, transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, want to improve self-esteem and step into the person they want to become. I also work in the outdoor industry and use my years of outdoor guiding to support my clients with kindness, compassion, humor and skill. I accept many insurance providers and am taking on new clients.

“I keep telling myself to relax, but even my own mind won’t listen.” “It feels like I’m fighting a storm no one else can see.” Anxiety can feel like it runs the show, with racing thoughts, constant worry, and the sense that you can never fully relax. It might leave you lying awake at night, second-guessing yourself, or feeling on edge in situations that once felt easy. Over time, the stress can spill into every part of your life, fueling depression, stirring up old trauma, or straining your closest relationships. Even when you try to push through, the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. You do not have to live this way. In our work together, you will have a safe space to feel understood and supported. My approach is compassionate and collaborative as we explore what drives your anxiety, build tools for relief, and work toward greater balance, healing, and resilience. Reaching out for help takes courage, and it can be the first step toward real change. I invite you to contact me today to schedule a session. Together we can begin the process of creating a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling.

Are you exhausted from trying to keep it all together? You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or haunted by past trauma. Maybe you’ve always felt different, misunderstood, or like you had to shrink parts of yourself to fit in. Whether you're exploring identity, managing perfectionism, or trying to heal from relational wounds, you deserve a space where you don’t have to do it alone. In therapy, we’ll create that space together. I approach my work with empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. Using a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, I support clients in finding clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to begin. Healing starts with connection. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation—I look forward to meeting you.

Hello all! I am a therapist with extensive experience helping people heal from trauma and navigate stress. I have worked and trained all over the world - in Northern Iraq, India, and Costa Rica, helping folks heal from war trauma and violence. I now work in Denver with New Americans and immigrant families as they adjust to the US, and here in Boulder with anyone ready to heal from trauma and feel more alive. My practice is called Prosocial because it is a community-based model, which means when you come to therapy with Prosocial, you make it possible for others to access affordable, low-cost therapy. Your session gives a session, and every session counts. This is where self-care becomes community care. Find out more at my website at the bottom of this page. Let's heal together!

Sometimes the pressure to succeed in school, sports, or life feels overwhelming. Stress, anxiety, or the weight of expectations may leave you lying awake at night, replaying the day over and over.
