Therapists for college students near University of Colorado Boulder

We work with students who are struggling with depression, anxiety, social difficulties, academic stressors, and relationship issues. We also help students and their parents to support families work through any difficult differences that can arise. We offer individual and family therapy, DBT groups, and group psychotherapy. Group psychotherapy is an affordable way to really understand how you are in relationships with others and to work on deeper issues that might occur continuously in relationships.

I am honored to work with people feeling heartache inside the constraints of our modern world. Through conditioning + relational wounding, we temporarily lose touch with the deep, innate wisdom of our souls + bodies. Life can feel chaotic and daunting - we question ourselves and even feel dead inside. If you long to experience belonging as your true self, I’m here to shepherd you back to safety in relationship with yourself, your body and others. I was brought to this sacred work through my personal experience of rising above trauma. I’m devoted to guiding others out of the depths of struggle and into fulfillment and connection. What is needed is a safe space, a compassionate guide, and supportive tools to help us reintegrate all of our parts. With a capacity to listen deeply and a keen understanding of the complex layers of the human experience, I help my clients re-weave a life of self-worth, integrity and love. I champion your unique expression and full aliveness. I have clinical expertise working with complex trauma. I am committed to a healing path that is somatically rooted. I also weave in elements of relationship with the earth, ritual and the energetic body. I offer virtual sessions as well as in-person nature-based sessions in Boulder County, CO with the assistance of my trusted labradoodle, Bodhi.

Welcome to Venya Therapeutics. We believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported—not judged.

Whether you’re working through a difficult season or seeking personal growth, we’re here to help you build resilience, community, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

I work best with students who are high-achieving, thoughtful, and often putting a lot of pressure on themselves to succeed. Many of the students I support feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, even when things look “fine” on the outside. I also work closely with students from multicultural backgrounds who are navigating identity, family expectations, or a sense of not fully belonging. I have extensive experience supporting students who have been impacted by trauma, including sexual assault, relationship violence, and other difficult life experiences. I spent four years working at the Office of Victim Assistance at CU Boulder, and I bring a steady, compassionate approach to creating a space where students feel safe, supported, and in control of their healing process.

Emily McCort, MD, is a board certified psychiatrist with 35 years of clinical experience, specializing in college mental health and eating disorders. Her private practice is conveniently located within walking distance of the CU Boulder campus and all its dorms, making care easy to access for busy students.

She is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (DLFAPA) and one of only three Colorado state representatives to the American Psychiatric Association reflecting her long standing commitment to maintaining the highest standards in psychiatry. Patients value her straightforward scheduling, accessibility, and responsive communication, which help reduce barriers to getting support when it’s needed most. Whether navigating stress, mood concerns, sleep issues, or more complex challenges, Dr. McCort offers experienced, accessible psychiatric care in a convenient and welcoming Boulder setting and through secure telehealth.

I primarily work with college students, adults and couples with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, relational and emotional issues, infidelity, childhood abuse, gender and sexual identity, and religious and spiritual issues. I also work with people who feel stuck, aimless, or desire to possess more purpose and meaning in their lives. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological assessment services for such issues as ADHD Evaluation, diagnostic clarification, and learning disorders.

I offer in-person counseling sessions from a convenient Central Boulder location or Telehealth counseling. I have years of experience helping students with problems such as school and work-related stress, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship issues. I tailor therapy to meet your needs. This includes use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and other helpful approaches. I am nationally certified in Cognitive Behavior Therapy by the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies. I am on the national provider roster for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which is considered a best practice for treatment of PTSD. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consult call.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional distress and personal suffering. A collaborative therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in therapeutic success. This relationship will be the keystone for facilitating your personal growth and understanding of yourself not just intellectually, but also emotionally. Over time, an internalized healing space will form where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try. Through experiencing the freedom of talking in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we liberate powerful emotional states that help us make deep and lasting changes. When fully understood, painful psychological symptoms dissolve over time. This increases your ability to live creatively. I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for people seeking freedom from their painful thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Please do not hesitate to email me to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how this process works and to see if we are a good fit in working together. I wish you all the best in your search.

Are stress, overwhelm and anxiety interfering with school, friends and life in general? Do you want to better understand and work through complicated emotions and unhelpful thought patterns? Maybe you’re ready to build new skills for handling life transitions, stressful situations or past experiences that still feel heavy. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Together we’ll strengthen what’s working and create a practical, personalized therapeutic plan that helps you move forward.. We begin with a complimentary, no obligation, 15 minute video consultation. This gives me a chance to understand what you’re going through and allows you to decide if we’re a good fit. After the consultation, if you decide to move forward and have Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Anthem, I’ll verify your coverage and any copay so you know what to expect, and then we can schedule your first session. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.

My clinical expertise focuses on a wide range of problems, including anxiety, panic, worry, OCD, depression, test anxiety, sports-performance anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, insomnia, and relationship problems. I also have great success helping individuals minimize daily stressors, navigate life transitions and increase effective coping.

It can be exhausting when you can’t get out of your own head. You might be overthinking everything, worrying constantly, getting caught in intrusive or obsessive thoughts, struggling to get things done, or putting enormous pressure on yourself. Depression can make it hard to care about things you normally care about. Food and body concerns can take up way too much mental space. A relationship or breakup can throw everything off. And sometimes things that happened a long time ago are still affecting you more than you want them to. I’m a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience, with advanced training as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist–Consultant (CEDS-C) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). I’m active and engaged in therapy. I’ll ask questions, share what I’m noticing, and help you make sense of what’s happening rather than expecting you to come in every week knowing exactly what to talk about. We’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck, work on things you can actually use outside of therapy, and make room for the harder stuff when it matters. You don’t need to have a diagnosis, be in crisis, or know exactly what you need. You can come in and tell me what’s been going on, and we’ll start there. My office is in Boulder, and I offer in-person therapy as well as telehealth throughout Colorado. I offer a free consultation so you can tell me a little about what you’re looking for, ask questions, and see if talking with me feels comfortable.

The challenges facing young adults in college are complex and numerous. I've developed a broad understanding of these kinds of issues throughout my years in private practice. Struggles with stress, anxiety, social issues, body image, issues around family and simply adulting are real and sometimes feel immense. However, I do believe the college years are a transformative time and these years can be an opportunity to become more self aware as well as an opportunity to be the person you want to be. I look forward to working with people who are wanting to take the next steps in their personal growth. While the path to growth and wellness can be difficult, it is a crucial endeavor and I would be honored to help you along your journey.

I work with individuals in college, and beyond, who are seeking a warm and comforting environment for therapy. I believe that the safe, trusting relationship between the therapist and client is the most important part of therapy. I am known for using humor in sessions and helping people through the adjustment to college life. I specialize in helping teens and young adults with anxiety, stress and depression. I use EMDR, Person Centered counseling, as well as other evidence based approaches. I would be honored to help you navigate your college experience and beyond.

Growing into yourself is not an easy process. This is the time you’re figuring out where you fit into the world – which career path to choose, which friends circle to keep, where to live, how to transform yourself into an independent adult… You’re making bigger decisions that have greater consequences and learning how to handle the repercussions of your actions. It makes sense for this time to be fraught with anxiety, depression, fear, and loneliness. Maybe you know that your partner isn’t treating you well, but you’re unsure of what a healthy relationship feels like. Or you’re aware that your friendships aren’t fulfilling, but you’re unsure of your own boundaries and how to voice them in relationship. It can be confusing to stand up for yourself when you don’t quite know how things can be better. But you do know that things just don’t feel right – that something is missing. I will help you explore your feelings of confusion and get clear on what’s not working for you. I will lead you toward the feelings under the confusion: the sadness, fear, anxiety… so that you can better understand your experience. We can clarify your relationship values and help you learn ways to ask for what you want by setting healthy boundaries and communicating your needs effectively. We can explore your passions and interests and help you identify the right path forward. Together, we can help you transform into the person you wish to be.
