Feel Heard.
CBT and harm-reduction therapy for teens, college students, young adults, and the parents who love them — for anxiety, chronic stress, substance use, eating concerns, grief, and the big changes of growing up. In Boulder and online across 38 states.
Hi, I'm Dr. Kelli Tahaney
I specialize in helping adolescents, college students, and young adults with anxiety, depression, chronic stress and adjustment, substance use, and eating concerns, along with grief and loss. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive, and compassion-filled space where you can begin to heal and learn to cope with whatever life has thrown your way.
I offer diagnostic evaluation and individual therapy for teens and young adults — in person in Boulder, or by video across the many states where I'm authorized to practice.

Specialized care for what you're carrying
These struggles rarely travel alone. Anxiety, low mood, substance use, and eating concerns tend to overlap and feed each other, so we work on the whole picture, not just the surface.
Anxiety
Evidence-based (CBT) care for the worry, panic, social fear, and racing thoughts that make everyday life feel like a lot.
Learn moreDepression
For the heaviness, numbness, and low motivation that can make getting through the day feel impossible — you don't have to white-knuckle it alone.
Learn moreChronic Stress & Adjustment
Steady footing through relentless pressure, big transitions, and the things that knocked you sideways — at your own pace, never faster than feels safe.
Learn moreSubstance Use
Nonjudgmental, harm-reduction support for teens, college students, and young adults — whether the goal is quitting, cutting back, or a healthier relationship with substances.
Learn moreEating Disorders & Body Image
Compassionate CBT-based support for disordered eating, food and body worries, and the anxiety and control that so often sit underneath.
Learn moreGrief & Loss
A safe place to carry loss of every kind — because grief isn't linear, and there's no 'right' way to move through it.
Learn moreWhether you're the one worried, or the one hurting
I work mostly with people in the middle of the hardest, most-changing years — about 15 to 30 — and the parents who love them.
For teens
A judgment-free space of their own for high-schoolers navigating anxiety, low mood, friendships, and questions about drinking or drugs.
Learn moreFor college students
For the pressure, homesickness, partying, and burnout of college years — with sessions you can join right from your dorm or apartment.
Learn moreFor young adults
Twenty-something life is a lot. Support for anxiety, depression, substance use, and figuring out who you actually want to be.
Learn moreFor parents of teens
If you're worried about your teen and not sure what to do next, you don't have to figure it out alone — and there's no such thing as reaching out too soon.
