Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO
Hello, My name is John and I have been a Professor in the area of counselor training for over 20 years and I have worked as a Therapist with young adults and college aged clients since the early 2000's. I specialize in working with issues that are intrinsic to young people and the world in which we live. I focus on you and meeting you where you are at by listening and giving you a safe place to work thru your "stuff." I look forward to meeting you and collaborating on this journey we call LIFE.

Are you looking for an experienced clinician who believes in the healing power of support and that we all deserve a life of value, even if we haven't solved all the pain and problems in our lives? There may be a part of you that tries to convince you that it’s not going to work, that your situation is too much or not enough or that clinicians just don’t know how to help you. The things you or your family have done to cope with pain or trauma or grief have now become problems too. Very often, we do these these thing to protect ourselves, because we care. Another part of you, even if it’s small, hopes for the opportunity to be understood, to be able to be transparent and to be appreciated for who you are in this moment. In my 20+ clinical years, I have truly seen miracles happen, even in the most complex situations. The work we do together will allow for emotions to be worked through, learn how to build a network of support and the practicing of advanced, evidenced based skills and processes to move towards and into a life worth living. I would be honored to be your guide.

Hi! I love helping students navigate the overwhelming experience of college life and helping individuals navigate mental health struggles like anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or trauma. Many of the students I work with are high achievers who often feel pressure to succeed but struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, or negative self-talk. You might find it hard to focus, feel stuck in your thoughts, or wonder if you’re doing enough—academically, socially, or in life. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard and supported while working toward a sense of balance and confidence. My approach is compassionate and practical, helping you understand yourself better while building tools to better handle stress. Whether you're struggling adjusting to college, having existential crises, or just feeling down; I’m here to help you feel more in control and at peace.

(Remote/online only appointments) Do you feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, or anxious. Are you consumed by limiting thoughts or trapped in patterns that feel unhelpful?

I work with individuals across a wide variety of issues including relational stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, personal growth, and career and life transition. Together we will work to create more freedom and choice in thought, action, and feeling- transformation from the inside out.
Welcome — you don’t have to figure this out alone. College can be exciting and overwhelming. Between classes, exams, relationships, finances, and figuring out who you’re becoming, it’s easy to feel anxious, stressed, or burned out. If your mind feels like it won’t slow down, your body feels constantly tense, or you’re putting pressure on yourself to “have it all together,” you’re not broken—you’re human. I work with college students who want relief from anxiety and stress, and who are ready to build coping skills that actually fit real life. Therapy with me is down-to-earth, supportive, and practical. We’ll focus on helping you understand what’s happening inside you, calm your nervous system, and develop tools so you can feel more confident, grounded, and like yourself again. You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of carrying everything on your own, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and get support—without judgment.

The transition from high school to whatever lies beyond it for you can be challenging. Suddenly, the whole world is in front of you and there is no set "map" for what is next. You can choose college, or a career. You can stay in your home town or move far away. You have increased opportunities to explore your own identity, make choices about romantic partnerships, and consider whether you'd like to start your own family some day. Your friends' lives are changing too; some will remain in your life and you'll grow apart from others. Your relationship with your family is also changing-- both in ways that feel helpful and ways that feel hard or sad. There are so many new decisions to make, people to meet, places to explore. For some young adults, these changes feel exciting. Others feel overwhelmed and even paralyzed, frozen, by all of these changes at once. Often, there are a mix of emotions present. As we adjust to the demands of a new job or a difficult college class, or living away from our families for the first time, we may notice increased stress or big emotions that feel difficult to manage. Times of transition can also stir up past wounds such as memories of difficult or traumatic events or tense relationships with loved ones. We may find ourselves experiencing increased symptoms of worry, intense sadness, decreased motivation, conflict with other people, or intrusive thoughts and memories that affect our ability to sleep or concentrate. Some of us may try to cope by using alcohol or other substances, and we may start to wonder if this is really as helpful as we once thought it was. Young adulthood can be so many things, both wonderful and challenging. Sometimes, therapy can be a helpful way to sort it all out or heal from difficult events that continue to make daily life difficult. I enjoy working with young adults as they navigate this unique season of life, and would be honored to walk alongside you in this work. I believe you are incredibly resilient, meaning you are capable of getting through hard things. My approach is to work as a team with you to identify the strengths you already have, discuss your goals, and determine which strategies might be most helpful to help you reach those goals. I also understand the importance of finding the right match when you are looking for a therapist. Feel free to visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation and we can chat to see if we are a good fit. I accept multiple insurance plans, and can offer both in-person and telehealth therapy. www.quietudetherapy.com
A lot of the students I work with are trying to juggle classes, friends, family, a rigorous academic schedule, all the while trying to maybe work, eat well, get sleep, and figure out what’s next—and it can feel overwhelming. Some deal with stress, anxiety, or low mood, while others are navigating breakups, roommate issues, or just the pressure of having to “have it all together.” I tend to connect best with students who are open to talking things through, even if they’re not sure what they need yet. You don’t have to have the answers or know exactly what you want out of counseling—that’s something we can figure out together. I have worked in higher education prior to starting my private counseling practice, both at Colorado School of Mines and CU Boulder assisting students with their mental health and career direction - I understand the unique pressures students are under, specifically STEM students. It’s completely normal to feel lost or stuck at times. Having a space to talk it out, gain perspective, and feel supported can make a big difference. Feel free to reach out and I would be happy to discuss what unique challenges you may be facing and see if working together might be a good fit. Please reach out via Thriving Campus or on my website directly!

The majority of my experience is working with adults having challenges with relationships, difficult emotional issues, and in simply learning to live a happy life.I work with people who are committed to their own personal growth and willing to make the necessary changes to be true to themselves and have integrity with others. I incorporate traditional therapeutic approaches in a compassionate yet direct manner as well as hypnotherapy, Sensorimotor therapy, Relational trauma therapy from Pia Melodies work, & cognitive-behavioral therapy. .I have a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Regis, in addition to my private practice I facilitated groups at West Pines hospital- psychiatric and chemical dependency units. I have been a meditation practitioner and instructor for 15 years. In terms of psychological well being meditation is one of the best a methods in reducing stress, anxiety, addiction, and depression. When meditation is combined with other therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the combination is 50% more successful than CBT alone .
I help students who are motivated to reduce their level of anxiety and stress, so they can not only be successful in their academic journey, but actually enjoy this amazing time in their life. I also work with clients who struggle with depression, relationship issues, social anxiety and social isolation. I offer my clients practical solutions and a warm, safe, accepting environment.
