Counseling Services in Boulder

Jamie Brennan offers a focused range of counseling services from the Boulder office on Arapahoe Avenue. All services are delivered one-on-one or with your partner in a private, confidential setting.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one counseling for adults working through anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, and other personal concerns. Sessions are 50 minutes and structured around your goals.

Couples Counseling

Support for partners navigating communication breakdown, conflict patterns, major life decisions, or a desire to deepen connection. Sessions include both partners together.

Spiritual Counseling

Counseling that integrates meaning, values, and spirituality into the therapeutic process — for clients who want their inner life to be part of the conversation.

Counseling for the Whole Person

“You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from counseling — you just have to want something different.”

Counseling is a structured, confidential space where you and your counselor work together to understand patterns, build skills, and create the kind of change that lasts. At Jamie Brennan Therapy in Boulder, that process starts with listening — to what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’re hoping for.

Jamie works with adults across a range of concerns, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the emotional toll of a high-achieving lifestyle. Sessions are 50 minutes, held in a private office in central Boulder, and structured around your specific goals.

Counseling isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Jamie draws from evidence-based approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based methods — to tailor treatment to you, not a template.

Who This Work Is For

Boulder attracts driven, thoughtful people — and driven, thoughtful people are not immune to struggle. Many clients who come to Jamie Brennan Therapy are functioning well on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, burnout, grief, or a persistent sense that something needs to shift.

Therapy or counseling in Boulder through this practice is well-suited for adults who are ready to do real work. You might be navigating a major life change — a career pivot, relationship shift, or personal loss. You might be managing chronic anxiety that’s affecting your sleep, your focus, or your relationships. Or you might simply feel stuck, and want support moving forward.

If that sounds like you, a first session is the right next step. There’s no commitment required — just a conversation to see if it’s a good fit.

What the Counseling Process Looks Like

Starting counseling is a straightforward process. Here is what you can expect from beginning to ongoing work.

01 — Initial Consultation

A brief phone or video call to discuss what brings you in and confirm the fit. No cost, no pressure.

02 — First Session

A full 50-minute intake session at the Boulder office where Jamie learns your history, goals, and what you’d like to change.

03 — Ongoing Sessions

Weekly or biweekly sessions structured around your goals, with regular check-ins on progress and direction.

04 — Real-World Integration

Skills and insights from sessions translate into practical changes between appointments — the place where growth actually happens.

Common Questions About Starting Counseling in Boulder

Below are answers to the questions Jamie hears most often from prospective clients in Boulder.

If you’re asking the question, it probably is. Counseling is useful for a wide range of experiences — not just crisis or severe mental illness. Many clients come in simply feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for something different. A brief consultation is the easiest way to find out whether it’s a good fit.

Sessions are held in-person at the Boulder office on Arapahoe Avenue. Telehealth options may be available in certain circumstances — please inquire by phone to discuss your situation with Jamie.

Sessions are 50 minutes and structured around what you bring to the room. Some sessions focus on processing specific events or emotions; others are more skills-focused, exploring tools and strategies you can use outside of counseling. Jamie shapes the work around your goals, not a fixed agenda.

Please contact the office directly at (720) 233-7529 to discuss current insurance participation and private-pay options. Jamie is happy to provide documentation to support out-of-network reimbursement where applicable.

The length of counseling varies widely depending on your goals and the nature of the work. Some clients find significant relief in a focused, time-limited course of sessions; others engage in longer-term work. Jamie reviews progress with you regularly and adjusts the plan accordingly.

What Clients Say

Working with Jamie changed how I relate to my own anxiety. After years of just pushing through, I finally have tools that actually work day-to-day. The office in Boulder feels warm and grounding — it’s a place where I can actually exhale.

I came in skeptical and left the first session feeling genuinely understood. Jamie has a calm, direct style that didn’t feel like therapy stereotypes. Six months later, I’m in a completely different place.
