Ashley Patel
Hello, I'm currently accepting new clients! Do you find yourself feeling stuck, lacking confidence, feeling overwhelmed, having difficulty managing stressors, or making progress towards your goals. Are you feeling uncomfortable, anxious, or depressed? If so, let's work together to discovering what is keeping you from the life you want. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I'm here as a support for you on your healing journey.
Amanda Nolen
“I can’t bring myself to share the weight of my experiences with my family.” “I'm constantly masking who I am to make others feel comfortable.” “People see my behavior, but they don't understand what's behind it.” “I don't feel in control of my own life.” If you recognize yourself in any of these, or struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’d be honored to support you. “I can’t bring myself to share the weight of my experiences with my family.” “I'm constantly masking who I am to make others feel comfortable.” “People see my behavior, but they don't understand what's behind it.” “I don't feel in control of my own life.” If you recognize yourself in any of these, or struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I’d be honored to support you. I provide a space where your story is welcomed and valued without judgment. My work is informed by Family Systems Theory and Feminist Theory, with an emphasis on the ways relationships, identity, and broader systems influence who we are. Whether you’re facing transitions, identity questions, or challenges in connection, we can focus together on what feels most important. I recognize the heaviness of ongoing change, missed opportunities, and the pressure to keep parts of yourself hidden. You don’t have to hold that by yourself. This is a place to be seen, supported, and understood.
Elyse Bassman
I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your inner world and build relationship with all parts of yourself. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, depression, life transitions, trauma, grief, shame, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I also enjoy supporting adult children of emotionally immature parents, college students, and highly sensitive people. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel deeply seen, understood, and accepted—and where you can gradually find your way back to yourself. My approach integrates compassionate talk therapy, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (parts work/inner child work) EMDR, psychoeducation, and practical coping and resourcing skills. I specialize in anxiety and trauma and tailor therapy to each client's unique needs. Together, we'll work to better understand your nervous system, process painful experiences, and cultivate a more secure, compassionate relationship with yourself. Clients often describe my style as warm, gentle, and deeply validating. It is a genuine privilege to accompany people in this work. If you have questions or would like to schedule a consultation, I'd love to hear from you.

Maddie Hampstead
My approach to therapy is person-centered and focuses on identifying & building upon one’s internal strengths, rather than deficits. I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative partnership. Together, we work toward goals that feel authentic and meaningful to you. I offer consistent, unconditional support while also “keeping it real” in a way that enables honesty, growth, and connection. Authenticity is one of my core values, and I hope that showing up as my true self encourages a foundation of safety and trust in our work together. I respect every client’s individual experiences, journey, culture and viewpoints and I offer a welcoming space to explore client’s concerns, goals, etc. I believe everyone carries a unique story, and sometimes life’s challenges or traumas can distort the way we understand ourselves. My goal is to help clients reframe their narratives, develop more compassionate self-talk, and navigate life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and ease. We all have inherent strengths and I strive to help clients identify, reclaim, and nurture those unique gifts. I have extensive experience in the mental health field across a variety of settings, working with adults of diverse backgrounds and concerns. Much of my work has included supporting neurodivergent clients (particularly ADHD), LGBTQIA++ individuals, folks going through difficult life transitions and women with complicated trauma. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have a passion for working with members of the kink community and the geriatric population.
Caroline Mazzer, PhD - Foothills CBT
I'm Dr. Caroline Mazzer, a licensed psychologist working with college-age clients using CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I help clients who are struggling with anxiety, difficulty managing intense emotions, self-injury, suicidal thoughts, and mood disorders. College brings a lot of emotional intensity: new independence, new pressures, and often new or worsening struggles with mood and self-regulation. In our work together, you'll build concrete DBT skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotion, and staying safe, alongside a therapeutic relationship where you feel genuinely supported.

Do things feel off track and overwhelming this semester? Procrastination, imposter syndrome, lack of academic focus, feeling socially awkward, breakups, friend drama, existential fear of what comes after graduation, family conflict, relationship communication breakdown, feeling like everyone else has it together but you, roommate boundary issues, school/work/social out of balance? Yep, that sounds hard. Let's talk. While I do specialize in the treatment of anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, and life transitions, there may be additional or underlying challenges that cause you to feel frustrated, unmotivated, overwhelmed, ashamed, or sad. Whatever your struggles, together we can help you better understand what’s going on and what may be getting in the way of change and feeling more like yourself. My approach to our therapy will be goal directed, and the strategies and techniques that we will utilize are research based; CBT, ERP, mindfulness, to name a few. You will leave each session with action items, and we will work together as a team. I will bring to our work substantive training, many years of practice, patience, empathy, curiosity, and reliability. ACCEPTING CLIENTS IN: CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, FLORIDA, TEXAS
Marc Heuser
College can be disruptive and difficult. I am here to support you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise in this season of life. I want to help you live your most meaningful life. I will work with you to deeply explore who you are, what you truly want, and what past beliefs or experiences may be holding you back from your growth. Together, we will uncover the ways in which you may have abandoned parts of yourself over time. Using masks or personas as a means of survival can damage you on a core level, reinforcing the false belief that you are not enough as you are. But the truth is: you are enough. Let’s examine the events, people, and circumstances that have wounded your sense of self, so you can reconnect with the authentic person you are. Therapy is a hero's journey that requires vulnerability, but the honesty you will find is profoundly liberating. If you are ready to begin this transformative work, I would be honored to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. If you have questions or want to learn more, please visit my website at www.theworkshoptherapy.com, or feel free to reach out via phone at (206)920-7168 or email.
Salvia Artman
Hi, I'm Salvia! I’m a licensed psychologist with extensive experience supporting college students as they navigate academic stress, relationships, past trauma, and personal growth. Some Areas I Specialize In: High-Stress Academic Programs Ph.D. programs, Law School, and other demanding fields can be overwhelming. I help students manage the stress that comes with them, including burnout, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, self-criticism, and challenging relationships with research mentors and peers. Trauma I help students explore how past experiences continue to affect them and work toward healing in a way that feels safe and empowering. Relationship Challenges Whether it’s friendships, family dynamics, or romantic relationships (monogamous and non-monogamous), I support students in navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. Climate Emotions The reality of climate change can bring up grief, anxiety, anger, and despair. I help students process these feelings and explore ways to stay engaged. My Approach to Therapy: I am committed to providing trauma-informed, multicultural-oriented, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and climate-aware therapy. My approach is holistic and evidence-based, exploring each client's concerns through a sociocultural and systemic lens. Education: I completed my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah, my doctoral internship at Duke University, where I worked with students in high-stress academic programs, and a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, specializing in supporting students who have experienced interpersonal trauma.
Satori Sky Counseling
Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a mindfulness-based therapist who works with college students navigating anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, and the sometimes messy process of figuring yourself out. I offer a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where you can slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, struggling in a relationship, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, we can start exactly where you are. My approach may incorporate mindfulness, somatic and nervous-system work, attachment-based therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.
Robert Graceffo
I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but surely only ever works in a context of empathy & respect, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a recently published, two-volume book, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology." I'm a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. Currently, I am contracted with the student insurances at Tufts and Boston College, which make sessions very inexpensive for students. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Connecticut. Very happy to arrange telehealth sessions for students in any of those states.

Ashlen Loskot
Trying to keep it all together, and make sense of life? Feeling worried, confused, trapped and stuck trying to fix "it" alone or hoping things will get better? I suspect these feelings have been with you for a while. You're not alone. Usually, people don't seek help right away; many of us attempt to tackle our problems ourselves. We often conceal our emotions and thoughts, worried about others' judgements. Life doesn't have to look this way or be so challenging. You have the power to create change, and I can help you. My counseling is rooted in connection and understanding, creating a safe, authentic space for clients to explore their past, and future aspirations. Together, we'll embrace your uniqueness and work towards a more fulfilling life by fostering autonomy; building self-confidence; connecting with your emotions; and finding lasting solutions. I have an honest, empathetic, and direct style. I incorporate reality and cognitive behavioral therapy into my practice to encourage growth and change. I have experience in relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Your courage to get to this point is admirable, don't stop here. Call me or send me a message. Let's talk.
Hannah Raulerson
A clinical therapist with 5 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping adults and teenagers navigate the complex intersection of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, substance use, life transitions, and the difficult process of reentering society after incarceration I'm passionate about guiding individuals through trauma-informed care, valuing the worth of each person, and focusing on strengths as they regain stability, rebuild relationships, and find purpose. I look forward to helping you move toward lasting emotional and personal growth in our work together. Working together, you can expect a compassionate and empowering environment customized to your unique mental health challenges, life circumstances, and personal goals. My style is collaborative, empathic, and nonjudgmental, helping me become a trustworthy and sympathetic therapist throughout each session. Care may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ERP, motivational interviewing, and other approaches to help you build coping skills and foster meaningful change. My passion for social work was shaped by watching a loved one struggle with mental health and addiction and seeing how a compassionate social worker helped them find stability and hope when our family felt lost. This firsthand experience deepened my commitment to providing kind, trauma-informed care that meets people where they are in the therapeutic setting, where I bring a grounded, empathetic perspective to each session, along with a deep respect for every patient’s resilience and lived experience. I love indulging on my creative side whenever possible! My hobbies outside the office include flipping Mid-Century Modern (MCM) furniture, tufting rugs and wall art, and making cards.

Want to talk about law school; I’m your girl. Want to blame everything on a parent? Happy to do it. Want to make real progress and laugh along the way? Let’s go!
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, which means you're never just a name on a list — 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).
