Denver College Student Therapist
You might’ve come to Denver to start the next chapter of your life—at a school like the University of Denver (DU), CU, or Metro—but everything that comes with school might be more intense than you imagined.
You're balancing challenging academics, a competitive social scene, and the existential weight of defining who you are. This environment often leads to college students feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or perpetually burned out.
I’m Allie Evans, LMFT, and I offer specialized therapy for Denver-area college students. As a therapist with flexible online sessions who went to college in Colorado, I provide the consistent, personalized support needed to move beyond just surviving college to actually thriving in it. Together, we’ll resolve the root causes of your stress, so you can overcome anxiety, trauma, and learn more about yourself to build the future you imagined.
Why see a private practice therapist instead of finding one on campus?
While campus resources like DU Health & Counseling or CU’s Counseling recouses are essential, many students find that they need a provider who offers:
Long-Term Support: Unlike short-term campus models, which are common at many colleges, I offer ongoing, consistent therapy focused on deep, lasting healing where we can build upon our sessions week after week.
Specialized Modalities: My practice is dedicated to advanced trauma and nervous system work, which is highly effective for the high levels of anxiety, trauma, and identity distress.
Confidentiality & Flexibility: Our sessions are completely separate from your academic record, and we can do all sessions online to fit your packed college calendar.
Understanding the pressures of college and the “quarter-life crisis” that comes after
Your college years are a profound time of transition, and it’s common for them to trigger a "quarter-life crisis" where you question all the fundamental parts of your identity. I specialize in helping students navigate many of the challenges that come with college life and all of its transitions:
Overwhelming Anxiety and Perfectionism: The pressure to perform flawlessly in every aspect of life—academics, career, and social media.
Relationship & Attachment Issues: Navigating new relationship dynamics, long-distance family ties, and building genuine connections.
Identity Exploration & Trauma: Using this period of change to finally address past trauma, family dynamics, or unresolved grief that is impacting your current self-worth.
Start or restart therapy as a college student in Denver
We’ll go beneath surface-level coping to help you heal, explore, and develop practical skills using evidence-based methods:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We compassionately identify and unburden the anxious, self-critical, or overwhelmed "parts" of you. This allows your natural state of confidence and clarity (Self-Energy) to lead you through this life transition.
Trauma-Informed Care: My training in EMDR and Somatic Attachment Therapy gives us the tools to work on some of the most challenging issues that bring people to therapy. We can go beyond talk therapy to help you heal and overcome past trauma in effective, lasting ways.
Contact me today to schedule a free, confidential consultation. I’d love to see how we can help you make your college years an even stronger foundation for your future.
