Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

I specialize in working with college students and emerging adults navigating relationships, anxiety, self-worth, family stress, and major life transitions. My clinical work is informed by my research and teaching on emerging adulthood, health, and relationships. In addition to being a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am a clinical supervisor and university professor in Child Development and Family Science, with particular expertise in romantic and family relationships.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next? You don’t have to have your life figured out before starting therapy. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, career and school stress, identity, relationships, & major life transitions. Together, we can explore what’s underneath these experiences, better understand yourself, and find a direction that feels authentic to you.

Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Nadolny DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I believe mental health care should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely listens—not a place where you feel judged, rushed, or like you have to have everything figured out. College can be an exciting time, but it can also come with a lot of pressure. Between academics, relationships, friendships, family, identity, career decisions, and simply figuring out who you are, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and work together to figure out what might help. I work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, OCD, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment planning, with an emphasis on education and shared decision-making. I want you to understand the “why” behind your treatment and feel like an active participant in your care. I take a collaborative, compassionate approach and meet each person where they are. There is no expectation that you have the right words or know exactly what you need when you come in. We can figure that out together. Most importantly, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. My hope is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped to navigate both college and everything that comes after it.

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.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in their own heads, or worn down by anxiety, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, depression, food or body concerns, perfectionism, relationship stress or breakups, or the lasting impact of past experiences—and who are looking for thoughtful, effective support to move forward. 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 take a steady, collaborative approach that’s grounded in research but tailored to you. I’m thoughtful about pacing, and we’ll spend time understanding what’s been keeping you stuck, building practical tools you can actually use day to day, and working toward meaningful change in a way that feels manageable and safe. My office is located in Boulder, and I offer in-person therapy there as well as telehealth services throughout Colorado. I also offer a free video consultation so you can ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit.

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.

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.

My approach is collaborative and structured, and we'll set clear goals together and track progress along the way.

"I often find myself feeling overwhelmed by the changes happening in my life." "There are times when I feel detached, as though I’m unable to connect with my emotions."

I hold dual board certification as a Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP, PMHNP) with 27+ years of experience in a wide range of professional NP roles (clinician, manager, educator). Graduating from Georgetown University with a BSN, I practiced as an RN and 10 years later completed a master’s degree at the University of New Mexico leading to FNP certification. After decades of involvement in health promotion activities that have dovetailed with my career, the mental health challenges that I observed while working on the front lines of the pandemic inspired me to complete my second master’s degree. I regard my career as more of a calling than a job. My passion and privilege are to offer consultation from a compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic perspective. My intent is to promote patient involvement in and understanding of how their goals and plan of care can support their healing journey toward a purposeful life. After growing up in Washington, D.C., I moved to Santa Fe, NM to complete certification in massage therapy and teach yoga. I’m delighted to have decades calling Colorado home. Now, I live in Boulder and enjoy activities in nature (all seasons and ecosystems), care for animals, travel adventures, service opportunities, music as well as studying yoga and tai chi for more than 30 years. Your mental health concerns, questions, and experiences are welcome, and will be approached with care and respect.

Young adults feeling anxious, lost, or in family struggles often crave a safe space to express themselves openly. Therapy offers just that, along with tools to manage emotions, navigate confusing situations, and build confidence.

It's incredibly rewarding to witness your growth and self-discovery as you overcome challenges and embrace your unique journey. I utilize a variety of methods in my therapeutic practice. Some methods used include: EMDR, CBT, Solutions Focused, Acceptance and Commitment, Humanistic, Family, Systems, and Internal Family Systems. I also like to include art, music, and somatic practices in my sessions. If you are looking to begin therapy, or have questions about what therapy can do for you, I'm happy to chat. I am available by phone or email.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. With several years of experience, I work with adults navigating some of life's most complex terrain, helping you find your footing when anxiety feels unmanageable, when past experiences weigh heavily on the present, or when relationships and sense of self feel uncertain. Empathy and authentic connection are at the heart of how I work. If you're looking for a thoughtful, attuned partner in your care, I look forward to helping you feel more connected, balanced, and at ease. My approach is gentle, grounding, and collaborative. Sessions are designed to be a safe, restorative space where you can slow down, tune into your nervous system, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Using relaxation techniques and nervous system-focused strategies, I help you reconnect with yourself and build a sense of balance that carries beyond our time together. Every person's needs and goals are different, and I tailor my approach accordingly. Whatever you're working through, you can expect a space that is supportive, unhurried, and shaped around you. A natural empathy for others and a deep desire to support people through life's challenges first drew me to this work. That pull became a purpose, and over time it shaped my commitment to providing warm, supportive, and empowering care. Authenticity and compassion guide every session. Whether you're working to restore a sense of well-being, process difficult experiences, or simply find more meaning in your daily life, I'm here to walk that path with you. Outside of sessions, you'll likely find me on a yoga mat, out on a trail, or setting up camp somewhere with my dog by my side. These practices of mindfulness, movement, and time in nature are part of how I stay grounded, and they deepen my appreciation for the quiet power of simply slowing down.

I understand how lonely and confusing it can be to navigate school, family expectations, pressures to perform, identity, and relationships. Feeling anxious about these pressures & unknowns is understandable. If you have also experienced trauma, grief/loss, or are managing anxiety or depression on top of this- it can sometimes feel like too much. I would be honored to support you in your process. I am trained in evidence based skills, somatic therapy approaches for working with your nervous system, and creative processes. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folx navigating the world.
