Therapists for college students near 80309
Xandra Hawes
Hey, I’m Xandra. I help college students get clear on their academic path, work through difficult emotions, and feel more confident and grounded. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life. Others struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or relationship challenges. I have 12+ years of experience as both a college career counselor and a professional counselor, so I can support you in many different ways—whether you’re feeling stuck in your studies, uncertain about your future, or simply seeking more balance and peace of mind. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students heal, grow, and create more meaningful lives. I also specialize in helping clients strengthen their intuition. Developing a clear inner knowing makes it easier to trust yourself when making decisions, so you can feel more centered, confident, and at ease in your own skin. If you want to see if we're a good fit, I offer free 30-minute consultations so I can learn more about you and get a better sense of how I might be able to help. We can talk over any questions or concerns you have. Wishing you all the best.
Kimberly Bermudez
I have 30 years of working with adolescents and young adults. My approach to therapy is founded in the value of the therapeutic relationship. It is very important my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced based psychotherapy treatment to help improve communication with others, reduce fears and phobias, interrupt thoughts that lead to addictive or other self-destructive behaviors, improve self esteem and change negative thought patterns. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations in psychiatric hospitals, treatment programs, the criminal justice system, young adult transitional programs, family systems and private practice.
Dr. Margaret Tobias - Foothills CBT
I'm Dr. Margaret Tobias, a licensed psychologist with extensive training in CBT and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I work with clients experiencing OCD, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder. Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts and compulsions, the lingering effects of a difficult experience, or mood swings that feel hard to predict or manage, I'll work with you to build practical skills grounded in research while making space for who you are and what matters to you. My approach is collaborative and structured, and we'll set clear goals together and track progress along the way.
Foothills CBT
Foothills CBT Psychology Group is a team of doctoral-level psychologists based in Boulder, just minutes from CU Boulder's campus. We know the specific pressures of college life: academic stress, homesickness, roommate and relationship conflict, identity and life-transition questions, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and the burnout that comes with trying to do it all. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, and exposure-based treatment (ERP), and we tailor our approach to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. We see clients in our Boulder office and also offer telehealth throughout Colorado through PSYPACT, so you can keep your same therapist even if you head home for breaks or move within the state after graduation. Our clinicians work together as an integrated team, so you're matched with the provider whose training and approach genuinely fit what you're looking for. Because we're a group practice, you're not limited to one option. We have several qualified, licensed psychologists on our team, each with their own areas of focus and their own way of working with clients, so if the first fit doesn't feel quite right, there's likely someone else on our team who will. Personality and rapport matter as much as credentials, and we want you to find a therapist you actually want to keep seeing. We are a private-pay practice (we do not bill insurance directly, though we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement).

Suzanne T Conversano
My practice begins with a kind, compassionate and safe introduction to the therapy process. We will explore what you want in your life and how to get there. Together we will follow your questions, concerns and goals, so you can discover new options. These are some of the questions we can explore. How can I make decisions that lead to a clear purpose? Why do I feel depressed? What is all this anxiety about? What can I do to feel better now? Drawing on eastern and western psychology, we will work together to develop the tools and inner resources to achieve your life goals including learning self compassion, and developing awareness of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors - through traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, creating art, and journaling. Please see my psychology today profile for more information and a complete list of insurance I accept.

You are not broken. You have so much magic inside of you waiting to come back to the surface! Are the constant stressors of life wearing down on you? Have you lost motivation to do the things that once brought you joy? Do you find yourself isolated from your support system? Are you blaming yourself for feeling this way? You are not broken and have so much magic inside of you waiting to come back to the surface. Let's talk! Life is full of stressors, it is something that is not always controllable...and that can make us feel out of control and spiral into a place of feeling stuck. While life might not always be a constant, there are ways to practice self-love and seek hope in all of life's moments. I will not pretend to be an expert on your life because the only person who truly knows your story is YOU. I aim to provide a space where problem-solving, strengths, and motivations can be explored together. Life is full of stressors that are out of our control, which may make you feel stuck. While life might not always be a constant, there are ways to practice self-love. If you feel I can help you alongside your journey of healing, give me a call today and we can create a plan together.
