Online Therapy for Young Adults in Colorado

For Young Adults • Ages 19-35

You’re Doing Everything Right, the way they told you to. So why does it feel so wrong?

Young adulthood asks a lot of you. Hold down a job, develop meaningful relationships, claim your full identity… and all in a world that keeps moving and crumbling beneath you. Interfaith Bridge Counseling connects young adults ages 19-35 in Denver and across Colorado with therapists who actually get it via telehealth and in-person.

You’ve finished high school. Maybe college too. And now?

Life isn’t what you expected.

In fact, you were told that things would get better. That you’d find your people, land on your feet, and figure it all out. But instead, you’re here…More exhausted than you expected, more uncertain that you’re willing to admit out loud, barely even able to get out of bed most days to make ends meet. The demands keep piling up, the choices feel heavier than ever, and underneath it all, you’re quietly asking: Is this really it?

Is this what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life?

You're not alone in this.

It’s not just you. The world is a dumpster fire right now.

In fact, Colorado young adults ages 18-26 are three times as likely to report poor mental health compared to Millennials in the same age bracket just ten years ago (36% versus 11.1%). As a young adult, you’re coming of age at a moment that asks something almost impossible of you: keep building your life, keep dreaming, keep moving forward…all while watching the systems that were supposed to protect people, including you, crack and crumble in real time.

Many of the young adults we work with carry this feeling, a feeling that doesn’t quite have a name yet. It’s a certain kind of exhaustion from trying to hold hope alongside fear, alongside rage, alongside a deep love for the people and the community around you. It brings with it a weight of wanting to stay informed without being consumed by all the chaos and injustice, yet knowing that’s becoming more and more impossible. It’s truly a grief of loving a world that keeps asking more of you than it gives back, financially, emotionally, and physically.

This is what it looks like to be awake in a time of collective chronic stress. We’re here to hold the complex space for exactly this…because your mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum separate from the world you’re living in. We won’t ask you to ignore the world to fix your anxiety or feelings of depression, we’ll help you hold the duality of being an informed, compassionate young adult human while still building a life that feels like yours.

We see that. We name it. And we work on it, together.

Young Adult Therapy That Meets You Where You are
Literally and figuratively

We offer individual counseling for young adults and twenty-somethings primarily via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth video sessions. No waiting rooms, no commute. Just a protected hour from wherever feels most like yours. Select therapists on our team also offer in-person sessions in the Denver metro area for those who prefer to meet face-to-face.

Why do we primarily offer virtual therapy for young adults? It’s simple, virtual was never just an adaptive phase for us. Our team of expert young adult therapists have trained specifically in how to make virtual sessions more connected, more contextual, and more effective as opposed to being just an accessibility option. Because your sessions happen in your space, not ours, we often see things that a traditional office can’t: your actual environment, the ins and outs of your daily life, and truly, the context that surrounds everything you’re carrying.

Our therapeutic approach is rooted in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling (MBTC). MBTC is a framework that honors you as the whole person: your inner life, your body, and the world you exist in. From that foundation, we draw on a range of evidence-based and relational modalities to meet you exactly where you are.

Through carefully training in and pairing these therapeutic modalities, we uplift a liberation-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, identity, burnout, or the quiet grief of a life that doesn’t look how you envisioned, we can help support you in understanding yourself more fully, becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be, and building a life that actually fits who you are.

Our 4-Step Support System

A path forward
at your pace, on your terms.

Therapy with us follows a natural arc that is equivalent to 72 hours or 3 whole days of therapeutic work over the course of 18-24 months. We focus on this timeline because real, integrated change requires more than coping skills. While every individual person’s journey is different, our framework guides how we work together and how long you can roughly expect each phase to take.

Months 0 - 3

Recognition

We build trust and emotional safety, where you begin to recognize what you’re feeling in both you mind and in you body. We name patterns and survival strategies without judgment. This is the foundation everything else we do is built on.

01.

Months 3-9

Self-Exploration

We explore identity, values, boundaries, and the beliefs that shaped you; Some of which are yours and some of were handed to you. This is where confusion and self-criticism gradually begin to give way to a steadier sense of who you actually are.

02.

Months 9-18

Communal Support

Here is where take what you’ve built internally during our sessions and start bringing it into the world, practicing clearer communication, accountability, and real connection at home, with friends, and in school or work.

03.

18-24+ Months

Skill Building

And finally, the emotional regulation and tools you’ve developed become more integrated and less effortful. Our therapy shifts from navigating crisis to sustaining independence, confidence, and purpose.

04.

Timelines are a guide, not a rule. Some people more through phases quickly; others spend more time in one place. We are person-centered and follow your lead, not a schedule. What matters most is that each step is genuinely yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, our therapy services are not faith-based. All of our therapy is grounded in a psychological framework known as Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling (MBTC). MBTC honors you as a whole person: your inner life, your body, and the world you exist in. From this foundation, we draw on a range of evidence-based relational modalities, including ACT, Somatic Therapy, aspects of Synergetic Play Therapy, Geek Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy & Parts Work to form a liberation-based, trauma-informed lens.

    The transpersonal part of our approach can raise some eyebrows. Choosing to include your spiritual and cultural perspectives in the therapeutic work isn’t the same as practicing religion, instead it means that we don’t ask you to leave that part of yourself at the door. We welcome clients of all beliefs and no beliefs. Atheist, Agnostic, Spiritual-But-Not-Religious, and everything in-between.

    If you are religious, we do offer multi faith and interfaith support for clients, including Muslim, Jewish, Bahá’í, Unitarian Universalist, Wiccan, and more. We also work with clients navigating religious trauma.

    Our name reflects our founder’s background and the bring we try to build between honoring all parts of a person’s life with the multicultural practices that actually make up the psychology field. Our name was never meant to signal a religious practice. And if our name gave you pause, honestly? We’re glad you asked.

    Interfaith Bridge Counseling is also LGBTQIA+ owned, trained and competent. 

  • This stretch of life is genuinely one of the most psychological complex, yet least supported. We’ve found that most therapists treat young adults as an afterthought because they know about adolescence and established adulthood, but not the in-between. For us, we build our practice around young adults, on purpose.

    Developmentally, the work of figuring out who you are, what you value, and where you belong doesn’t wrap up in a pretty little bow at 18, 21, or even 25. We know this because Erik Erickson mapped out two overlapping stages that unfold through your thirties: 1) Identity vs. Role Confusion and 2) Intimacy vs. Isolation. The first stage asks who you are. The second stage asks how you connect to others without losing yourself in the process. Young adulthood navigates both at the same time, all while also managing careers, relationships, finances, and a world actively working against them.

    We specialize in young adults because we’re genuinely good at it. And more importantly, it is one of the most significant parts of one’s life. 

  • Yes, we accept all RAEs of Health First Colorado (Medicaid) including CHP+, allowing us to be one of the few youth and young adult therapy practices in Colorado that does. If you have Medicaid, your sessions are typically fully covered.

    For those without Medicaid, we offer a pay-what-you-can sliding scale between $60-$140 per session based on your actual financial need. No verification paperwork, no strings attached. We also accept HSA and FSA card directly, and we’re partners with the Second Wind Fund.

    Not sure what you qualify for? Bring it up on your free 30 minute consultation call and we’ll figure it out together before you commit to anything.

    Outside of Medicaid, we do not accept commercial and private insurance.

  • No, we don’t. And we want to be transparent with you about why.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are some of the most commonly recommended modalities in mainstream mental health care, and there are really important contexts where they can be helpful. But for us here at Interfaith Bridge Counseling, we believe it’s just as important to examine where these modalities fall short, particularly when applied to marginalized and oppressed populations, neurodivergent people, and young people who are still developing. When used without that critical lens, these approaches can cause real harm, like reinforcing able-bodied assumptions, pathologizing normal responses to oppressive systems, and asking people to mange and reframe their inner experience over truly understanding it. 

    Our therapeutic approach is grounded in a liberation-based, trauma-informed framework, one that starts with the premise that you are not the problem

    There is a time and place for CBT, DBT, and EMDR, absolutely. But that place isn’t here with us. If you’ve found those approaches helpful in the past and are looking for a therapist who uses them, let us know and we’ll happily point you in the right direction of some of our trusted referrals and community partners.

  • Schedule a free 30 minute consultation with our team. It’s a low-stakes conversation to get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether we’re the right fit.

    From there, we’ll match you with a therapist whose background, approach, and availability align with what you need. If it feels right, you book your first session. There’s no commitment required to have that first call. The hardest part is usually just picking up the phone.
