Why Therapy Matters for College Students
College life brings unique challenges—from academic stress to identity exploration to navigating relationships and transitions. Mental health support can make a major difference in helping students:
Manage anxiety, depression, and stress
Process trauma or life changes
Improve self-esteem and confidence
Set healthy boundaries and develop coping tools
At Free Yourself, we specialize in working with students across Colorado, and our therapists bring cultural humility, compassion, and real-world experience to every session.
What Can I expect at my first Therapy Session?
Your intake appointment will serve as both a consultation and therapy session simultaneously. You can expect a friendly and relaxed conversation where you and your therapist get to know each other. While it's a time for assessment and gathering information, this session will also allow for therapeutic interaction and support. This integrated approach ensures that you begin receiving support and guidance from the very first session, setting a foundation for ongoing therapy. Intake appointments are often covered by insurance and Medicaid. Please contact us if you’d like to verify your insurance eligibility prior to scheduling a session.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but we make it simple. Here’s what you can expect:
Easy online booking and quick availability
Match with a therapist who understands your unique needs
Sessions that feel warm, respectful, and empowering
Options for short-term support or longer-term therapy
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care to meet you where you are. We serve students of all identities, and we are especially affirming of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, first-gen, and neurodivergent students.
