Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

We work primarily with folks experiencing difficulty with ADHD or attention struggles, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. We use a brain map (qEEG) to measure baseline electrical activity, and then design an individualized protocol to then habituate more adaptive, efficient, and flexible brainwave patterns. Training occurs twice weekly for around 30-50 sessions.

ORCA Recovery partners with families and young adults to navigate the path from crisis to stability — and from stability to long-term thriving. We specialize in intervention planning, case management, and recovery navigation for individuals struggling with substance use, mental health concerns, and process addictions. Our work begins with families. We help them slow down, organize the chaos, and create a thoughtful plan to get their loved one to the right level of care. When treatment is needed, we coordinate the process from start to finish — identifying the best-fit program (whether within our trusted network or elsewhere), preparing the family, aligning expectations, and supporting the transition into care. If hesitation or resistance shows up, our experienced interventionists work directly with the family to increase readiness and reduce the risk of failed attempts. But our work does not stop at admission. We remain engaged throughout the treatment process and beyond — supporting communication between providers and families, reinforcing clinical recommendations, and helping translate progress into real-world change. We believe outcomes improve when families are informed, aligned, and actively involved in recovery. On our Thriving Campus, ORCA serves as a bridge between higher levels of care and sustainable independence. We provide structured oversight, accountability, and family coaching while empowering young adults to build life skills, purpose, and community. Our philosophy is simple: Recovery works best when it is collaborative, intentional, and sustained over time. At ORCA, we do more than help people get to treatment — we help families and individuals build a foundation that lasts.ORCA Recovery partners with families and young adults to navigate the path from crisis to stability — and from stability to long-term thriving.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, the complexities of life transitions and more. You might be struggling with unhelpful thought patterns, emotional overwhelm, or difficult dynamics with others—or maybe you're just feeling stuck and not sure why. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and build meaningful steps toward the life you want to live. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect with the strength that’s already within you. Real change begins in a space that feels safe, supportive, and real. That’s what I aim to create: a place where you can be fully seen, heard, and supported. I show up as a real person in the therapy room—with empathy, warmth, and curiosity. My approach is active, collaborative, and inclusive, grounded in values like self-compassion, empowerment, and nonjudgmental awareness. I strive to strike a balance between being supportive and gently challenging, so you feel encouraged to grow at your own pace. In our first session, we’ll take time to understand who you are, what you’re experiencing, and how your past has shaped your present. I take a holistic view, honoring your individuality, identity, and lived experiences. Together, we will design a treatment plan grounded in evidence-based practices that may include CBT, ACT, DBT or EMDR, empowering you with tangible tools to support your healing and create lasting change.

College can be a time of big transitions, self-discovery, and sometimes, feeling overwhelmed. I work with students navigating life changes, anxiety, motivational issues, perfectionism, the inner critic, self-esteem challenges, and coming into their identity. I also support folks exploring their experiences with neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ identities. At the heart of my practice is a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly seen and heard. Together, we’ll explore your inner world and uncover the pathways to healing that feel right for you. If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults for the past 20 years. My therapeutic style can be described as interactive, empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently challenging. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is essential to positive, healthy change. It is often the relationship with a supportive and skilled therapist that allows people to talk about and explore issues/struggles that feel too difficult to explore on their own. Because therapy is such a unique and personal journey, therapy is centered on you and your unique needs as we work together to build on your strengths, focus on solutions and develop new skills and insights, to help you achieve the personal growth you are seeking.

It takes courage to ask for help; you have already taken the first step. Life throws us situations we don't anticipate or have encountered before and we need help getting through. You are here because you or someone you care about is in pain. You have come to the right place. We have all had those times when we need someone besides family and friends to talk to. People come to me for a variety of reasons: anxiety and depression, adjusting to the college transition, relationship problems, family issues, emotional and social struggles, rebuilding self-esteem, teen difficulties, general life transitions, and personal growth. I have great success in helping individuals, couples and families overcome their difficulties and unresolved issues that are affecting their day-to-day lives. I assist people in gaining insight as to what issues may be causing them anguish and making changes that are within their control. I genuinely care for the well-being of my clients and work hard to find creative ways to help them achieve their goals and find peace in their lives. *Please feel free to call and ask for additional information about my practice or visit my website @ www.susancaso.com.

Together we will explore the areas that are troubling you, uncover and understand the core issues, and develop more effective ways to cope.

me: In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, and through an attachment-oriented lens, I am focused on harnessing the powerful dynamic of the therapeutic relationship, in order to help individuals locate within themselves a sense of meaning and purpose in the here and now. I am focused on developing each client’s ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, in order to reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm. you: While I work with individual adults of all ages, most of my clients tend to be 25-45, and coming to therapy to work through a variety of human challenges and stressors often associated with complications that occur in the life-stage transitions from adolescence to early adulthood and early adulthood into middle age. For many of us, these life-stage transitions are often extended and/or delayed, leading to feelings of pscyho-emotional paralysis and “stuckness” in repeated patterns of behavior. My practice is also further specialized in working with performing artists and other creative/artistic professionals. The intersectionality of psycho-emotional health and creative identity/artistic process is an area of experience and particular interest to me. Having trained and worked professionally as an actor, prior to earning a master’s degree in clinical social work, I am deeply focused on using the shared language of artistic development to help other artists utilize the many tools and skills they’ve already developed for self-reflection and craft honing as artists, in order to help them create growth, change, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. Although many of my clients meet diagnostic criteria for depression, trauma, and anxiety, I aim to see people beyond the diagnosis and view them as the whole human beings they are. us: Together, we will have a meaningful relationship intended to support and foster your personal growth, resilience, healing, and ability to create internal validity, as well as meaning and purpose in the moment. Our relationship exists within the context and framework of weekly, or bi-weekly, 45-minute conversations, focused on examining all aspects of how your pscyho-emotional health and wellbeing correspond to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. No human is broken. We are all operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting; sometimes for the better, and other times to our own detriment. We are all the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences. Therefore, we will work jointly to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns, in order to learn to move forward, create change, and become the future self that is still yet unrealized.

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 a time of transition and change. This can be a time of struggle and existential anxiety for many people. Everyone has times of uncertainty. I will help you explore who you are and what your predicaments are as you become more yourself. You do not have to do this alone. I have many years experience working with people in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at all levels. Together we can explore your life and relationships to discover ways in which you can live more authentically, in alignment with your values. I trained and worked in England before moving to Boulder in 2010. I have worked with students and academics all over the world and have over 30 years experience as a therapist; I bring all of that with me as I meet each new client. I will help you describe, clarify and unravel your relationship to the world, your self and other people. We do not have to start with your childhood.

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.

Everyone deserves a safe and nonjudgmental space to be truly heard. I specialize in helping young adults and college-aged individuals navigate life’s complicated middle— transitions, uncertain decisions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts.

My extensive experience in school social work has given me the opportunity to better understand the social, behavioral, and emotional experiences that young people navigate each day.

Hello! I've spent my entire career (30 years) working with undergraduate and graduate university students, both in the United States and abroad. I've worked in several University Counseling Centers and also serve as an Adjunct Faculty Member in the Department of Applied Psychology at NYU. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals, including those from diverse backgrounds, who are grappling with many different issues: transition to college, relationship struggles, family issues, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, identity, sexual orientation, grief/loss, and existential challenges. I've worked with student-athletes, international students, people of color, LGBTQIA individuals, study-abroad students, members of Greek Life, and graduate/doctoral students. I am a down-to-earth, insightful, non-judgmental, REAL, sometimes funny, and consistently compassionate therapist. I love working with college students! I've been told by many clients that I'm easy to talk to. I will listen, support you, provide honest feedback, and help you to navigate your challenges effectively so you can be your best self as you pursue your educational and life goals.

Welcome! I am confident in every person's ability to heal. I work with teens and adults suffering from PTSD, OCD, anxiety, body image and sleep-related issues. I work holistically with evidenced-based techniques to provide relief quickly. The relationship between you and your therapist is more important than any specific technique. A therapist may have all the training and credentials, but if you aren't comfortable with them, true healing will be challenging. When working with me, you get to decide the pace of therapy. We can incorporate talk therapy with other modalities, whatever is most appropriate for you and your needs. Throughout the process, you will notice an increase in self-esteem and resilience and a new confidence in your ability to regulate your nervous system. If there are events from your past that interfere with your ability to live life fully, I am committed to helping you make real shifts. I use advanced EMDR protocols, Exposure & Response Prevention (for OCD), and CBTi for insomnia. I am trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to support individuals suffering from depression. I love emphasizing mindfulness and psychoeducation to reduce shame and heal the nervous system. Whether you a have a specific need or several topics to address, I am here for you. I meet clients where they are, letting them set the pace while I offer guidance and containment. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am licensed in both Colorado and Hawaii and offer telehealth.

Becoming an adult is incredibly exciting but can also be extremely challenging and down right terrifying.
