Therapy in Boulder CO

I’m so glad you are here. It takes courage to ask for help.

Counseling Services for Couples, Individuals, Teens, and College Students

We all find ourselves in situations we didn’t anticipate or experience circumstances we’ve never encountered. It is hard to admit we may not know what direction to head. This can be scary, even overwhelming—contributing to feeling alone.

During difficult times we can tend to avoid things in our lives that cause us sadness, pain, or fear. We often pretend everything is fine moving throughout our day—saying to ourselves and everyone else that we are ok, even great. It can be helpful to talk with someone besides our family and friends.

Problems lose their enormity when you don’t have to face them alone.

Whether you are an individual experiencing difficulty, a couple stuck in a painful cycle or a parent seeking to understand your teen who is struggling, here is a place you can come to find your way back to a secure and healthy connection with yourself, loved ones, and community.

Susan Caso at Boulder Family Counseling provides you with a safe place to explore your fears and concerns, while empowering you to believe in your ability to overcome life’s challenges. A place where you can express yourself with no fear of judgment. A place to come where you can be heard.

How can I help you?

Teen Counseling

Teens may push limits, rebel against parent’s involvement, or withdraw from the family unit all in an attempt to establish independence and self-identity.

As a parent, it can be difficult watching your teen struggle. Counseling can provide a safe place for teens to explore their feelings, identify issues, and learn new life skills.

College Student Counseling

College can be one of the most exciting and challenging times in our lives. For the first time, we are out on our own; no longer directly influenced by our parent’s rules. We have new freedoms, experiences, relationships and opportunities.

I have helped many college students with their stress, guiding them through the process of learning to manage and build resiliency.

Family Counseling

We have a biological need to be connected to the people who matter most to us in our lives. Whether you are a couple stuck in a painful cycle or a parent seeking to understand your teen who is struggling. Here is the place you can come to find your way back to a secure and healthy connection.

Individual Counseling

Counseling can be a wonderful place to explore why you are stuck in the same cycle. It is difficult sometimes to view yourself and understand why you do the things that you do. Together we will explore all aspects of your past and present to discover the recurring patterns that cause disruption in your life. We will map out the steps needed to achieve your goals.

Stop the self–defeating patterns interfering with reaching your potential.

Couples Counseling

We can find ourselves in a painful place with the person we love so dearly. Asking ourselves, how did we get here? What changed? What did my partner do, what did I do to bring us to this point of not wanting to love each other the way we loved each other when we fell in love. How did we get here to this place that we promised each other we would not be? Questioning your future and stuck in a state of confusion?

Provided the Tools I Needed to Solve it Myself

“You met me in arguably my lowest point. I felt lost, helpless, confused, afraid, overwhelmed, stressed, angry… an exponential amount of purely negative emotions and destructive words. I remember towards the beginning I would get extremely nervous to come to our sessions, and initially, I thought it was because I was uncomfortable talking about my emotions, but I realized that I was actually just afraid to confront deeper issues I’d been holding onto for years. You have this ability to connect dots in a way that I could not on my own. You dug deep and LISTENED to what I said, took key phrases that stood out, and shifted the perspective about how I thought of my own… thoughts. You took every hardship that I was facing and found a way to lessen the intensity and refocus my mind on the objective at hand. You taught me how to prioritize my thoughts. You taught me how to enjoy the present, not focus on the past or the future. I feel as though you helped me unlock who I really am and made me realize my potential more than I thought possible. I truly feel like a new person; a more calm, stable, HAPPIER version of myself. I remember how I felt before anxiety and depression really took hold and that original feeling is returning day after day. I’ve learned through you that its okay not to feel okay, its okay to let myself feel negative things, but I can’t let those things linger. Most importantly, you did not solve my problems. You provided the tools I needed to solve it myself. That’s more than I could ever ask for from someone. I’m extremely grateful for the time we’ve spent together and I encourage anyone who feels lost or confused to seek your guidance. I never thought I’d be where I am today. Thank you from every fiber of my being.”

Brings a Unique Understanding Into the Difficult Times

“Susan has helped my daughter and myself through many tough times. As a child growing up in a divorced household my daughter struggled to deal with the painful realities of divorce, step-parents, and adolescence. There were many times when my new wife and I wondered how we would make it through each day. From the first time we took my daughter to see Susan, to the most recent time they met, she has continually helped my child down the road to healthy healing, greater self awareness of her actions, and a successful transition into young adulthood. As a mother herself she brings a unique understanding into the difficult times parent, and their children, often go through. If you or your child are struggling I highly recommend seeing Susan.”

– Father of Teen

An Incredible Support for our Family

“Susan has been an incredible support for our family as our daughter transitions from high school to college. She’s helped us weather several crisis and we have turned to her for guidance and comfort. Her counseling is a wonderful blend of empathy and practical advice that has helped our daughter tremendously through some very difficult times. We have also found several sessions of family counseling to be valuable. Susan is professional and ethical, but perhaps more importantly, she genuinely cares about her patients and that inherent kindness shines through in her therapy sessions.”

Helped us Examine What was Really Going on

“Susan worked with my daughter and me to work through some difficult and deep-rooted behaviors that were negatively impacting our relationship. Some of our behaviors were simple, and others more complicated. Susan had a great way to help us get to the root of our issues. Susan helped us examine that what was really going on, wasn’t what it seemed to be on the surface.

My daughter and I now have a much better understanding of our own behaviors, we own our role in improving our relationship, and we accept where we are. Our relationship has improved leaps and bounds and I am so thankful for the work we did with Susan.”

– Mother and daughter

Had our Vibrant Loving Daughter Back

“Susan has been such a blessing for our entire family. Our daughter was having a very difficult time her sophomore year in college and began seeing Susan. She has not only helped our daughter navigate some challenging times, she helped us learn how to best support her in the most loving way. Our daughter made tremendous progress in a short amount of time and is using the tools Susan gave her every day. In just a few months we felt like we had our vibrant loving daughter back and our relationship with her is better than ever. We could not be more grateful for Susan and would highly recommend her to any family.”
