Therapists for college students near Boulder, CO

I'm Dr. Ashley Coburn, a psychologist candidate working with college-age clients using DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). My expertice is in treating anxiety disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders and eating disorders. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, self-injury, suicidal ideation, depression, restrictive eating, bing purge behavior, and trauma. If your emotions have been feeling bigger and harder to manage than usual, or you're having thoughts of hurting yourself, I want you to know there's a structured, evidence-based path forward. I'll walk it with you at a pace that feels manageable, with real skills you can use between sessions, not just in them.

I am a psychologist in private practice. I work with students to help them cope better with depression, anxiety, academic and family stressors, and relationship issues. I like to work with students over time to sustain lasting and meaningful changes in their lives so that they can successfully work toward their goals. I help students navigate their family and friend relationships as well as work through any old patterns that get in their way of getting along well with others and managing their day to day stressors.

Hi, we're Better Life Therapy! We're currently accepting new clients for both in-person and virtual therapy, and can typically schedule your first session same-week. We're a diverse group of over 40 professional therapists treating a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, substance use, eating disorders, and others. Many of our therapists are deeply familiar with issues commonly faced by college students. We practice a warm, compassionate style of therapy with a deep respect for patient concerns and values.

Have you ever thought to yourself— “I need someone to talk to, but struggle to open up”... “I just can’t seem to snap out of this sadness”... “I feel like I have no sense of direction”... “I feel overwhelmed”... Feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck can make life a constant struggle. Sometimes, our subconscious thoughts lead us to repeat the same actions even when we want to change, creating a cycle that feels difficult to break. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or a past trauma, you don't have to do it alone. It takes great courage to open up to someone and ask for help. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to support and empower you to learn, grow and process whatever is on your mind. I provide counseling to children and adults and utilize a solutions-focused, strengths-based approach. Please call or send a message if you think we might be a good fit.

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.

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 isolating from your support system? 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?

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.

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.

Therapy is a journey where you learn more about yourself, your internal experience, and your loved ones in order to change your life based on your own goals and values. I can help you and/or other members of your family gain flexibility in your thoughts and actions through experiential skill development. At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional expression; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My goal is to create a warm and safe environment where emotions, thoughts, memories, and other internal experiences can be explored with compassion and understanding. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and interpersonal concerns using a variety of evidence based treatments. I have helped children, adolescents, families, parents, and couples approach their concerns from a family systems perspective.

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.

My journey into the world of mental health services has come through my own struggles with adoption trauma, addiction, and long-term depression. Such conditions have made me an avid researcher of the human mind and heart, and a passionate experimenter of the means by which we transform both. This research and experimentation has (thankfully) fine-tuned my relationship skills and made me fluent in many languages of internal exploration.​ The most impactful of all of these have been the practices of meditation and somatic psychotherapy. I have spent nearly twenty years exploring them in depth and I would love to share them with you.
