Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder
Hi! My name is Olivia and LSW/MSW working as an outpatient therapist for Ellie Mental Health in Louisville CO. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and even scary, but my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment that supports every individuals' unique needs and goals. Authenticity, creativity, and empathy are specialities I use to foster a genuine therapeutic relationship. Over the years I have worked with individuals facing substance use issues, chronic illness and pain, anxiety, trauma, and more. When working with those various concerns I have used CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and other creative outlets to support clients in whatever ways they need. Success in therapy looks different for everyone, but meeting you where you are at in life is my goal as a clinician. This includes being collaborative in the approaches to providing care. If you are looking to find someone to walk beside you please reach out or go online to schedule an appointment and we can get to work!
Based in Colorado, we work with many individuals who love the outdoors. Mountain climbing and other popular outdoor activities come with inherent risks, but we accept those risk to live a full life. Climbers must focus upward to calm their nerves, often relying on others to help them advance effectively and safely. Just take it one rock at a time and trust your body. Similar to climbing a mountain, in therapy you choose to take a risk; inviting someone else to join your climbing team to help you along the way. The Focus Upward team are here to help support your climb with mental health and wellbeing services.
Students are often navigating many changes at once which is my specialty. I am here to help figure out what's next, how to move forward with decisions that fit your values, interests and strengths. I can also help determine if there are things in your family or your past that are holding you back so you can start to live your life the way you want to.
Our 20s is a special time AND it's kind of confusing. We're figuring out who we are and how we fit into this world. No small task. You're feeling frustrated with your relationships and you're not sure how to do things differently. You were never shown how. Where do you fit in this world? Who do you want to be? You're figuring out your passions and how to make that into a sustainable career. I can help you gain clarity and support you as we explore what works and what doesn't. Gently and at a pace that feels good for you. We can clarify your relationship values, understand what healthy boundaries look like in your life, and learn to communicate your needs effectively. I offer both teletherapy and in-person Equine sessions. Working with horses gives us a unique way to connect and learn about ourselves.

Hi there! My name is Ainsley Nuhn, I am a licensed psychotherapist in Boulder, Colorado I am also the owner of Reframe Counseling. LLC. Reframe Counseling is a place for people to receive therapeutic services for a variety of issues including: Stress, Anxiety disorders, Trauma recovery, OCD, Depression, ADHD, Relationship Issues, Communication Issues and Transitions. Reframe Counseling is based on the concept that much of what gets in our way to feeling secure is how we are perceiving our experiences, thoughts and feelings- the "frames" in which we see ourselves and the world. The narratives and coping patterns we have adopted may have been useful at one time, however they now may get in the way of us living our best lives. I work with clients to identify what is getting in the way for them. Through empathic support and guidance, I help clients process challenges and adopt healthier ways to manage life. As you are unique and not one modality "fits all", I interweave therapeutic modalities to customize treatment to each person. We will work together to address the issues that are most problematic for you, customizing treatment according to your goals. I offer virtual and in-person sessions. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in meeting. I offer free initial phone consults and am happy to talk with you about your needs and answer any questions you may have about therapy.
I work with clients who are going through different life transitions, including adjusting to college, relationship changes and career decisions to name just a few, These can be difficult times, where our life often takes us on a different path than the one we expected. Life can be challenging, but these are also often opportunities for growth. It is never too early to start working on your self-care. The hardest part is often taking that first step and acknowledging you may want to ask for help. My hope is to provide you with a place where it's ok not to know the answer, but where you might see things more clearly. You don't have to be alone on your journey.

College is often called "the best years of your life," but for many, it feels like an endless loop of performance, pressure, and old patterns. Whether you're navigating the heavy fog of academic burnout, the "lonely-but-smothered" cycle of new relationships, or a major life transition that has left you feeling completely ungrounded, I’m here to help you find your footing. I believe you shouldn’t have to "fix" who you are—especially your sensitivity. Instead, we’ll work on learning how to use it as your greatest compass. How We Work Together With over 23 years of experience, I’ve learned that the most powerful tool in the room is a real, authentic connection. I use a relational, mind-body approach—blending ACT and CBT—to help you name the barriers in your way and retire the survival patterns (like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or masking) that no longer serve you. I’m known for putting students at ease quickly; our first session isn't a "clinical intake," it's a grounded partnership. Specialized Support for Students: Neurodivergence & Burnout: Strategies for ADHD/Autistic students to manage executive function without the "perfectionism" spiral. LGBTQ+ Identity: A safe, affirming space to explore your identity and navigate coming out or relationship transitions. Relationship & Family Cycles: Breaking free from toxic patterns and setting healthy boundaries. Trauma & Identity: Healing from the past while figuring out who you are today. Addiction & Recovery: Navigating campus culture while staying true to your sobriety or harm-reduction goals. The Highly Sensitive Student (HSP): Tools for when the world (and the dorms) feels too loud or overwhelming. Mind-Body Wellness: Supporting students with Alopecia or autoimmune disorders through the emotional toll of chronic illness. Beyond the Office I am a firm believer in the healing power of the outdoors. When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me hiking with my dog and finding new adventures in the fresh air. Ready to start a chapter that actually belongs to you? Reach out and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
I support teen girls, young women, and mothers who are carrying heavy feelings about self-esteem, body image and eating struggles. I also specialize in working with women on their prenatal journey; navigating the big transitions of pregnancy and postpartum. So often, these seasons of life bring up emotions we’re told we shouldn’t have—confusion, doubt, even resentment—right alongside love and joy. My role is to create a space where nothing has to be hidden, and where your whole experience is welcome.

My role is to create a space where nothing has to be hidden, and where your whole experience is welcome. I take a warm, collaborative approach that goes beyond talk therapy. Together, we’ll move at your pace, weaving in conversation and body-based practices like mindfulness, somatic therapy, Gestalt, breathwork, and nature-based work—while also drawing from CBT, DBT and ACT when structure or skills are needed. My hope is that you leave sessions with a stronger sense of steadiness and self-trust, and a gentler perspective on your life and journey—able to meet yourself with more ease, acceptance, and confidence in where you are and where you’re headed.

My approach blends proven therapeutic methods with nervous system regulation tools, so you can calm your body, quiet your mind, and feel more at ease in your daily life. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. With the right support, it’s possible to feel calmer, more confident, and more grounded as you move through college and into your future.
