In-person counseling in Boulder, Colorado Online throughout Colorado
Dating can bring hope and uncertainty, especially when you notice yourself drawn to unavailable partners, anxious about being chosen, or repeating relationship patterns you hoped to leave behind. It can be hard to know whether to set a boundary, stay curious, or step away.
Individual therapy offers a place to explore what you want from connection and how past experiences shape the choices you make now.

The process
How therapy can help
We can notice what happens when closeness grows, identify the protective strategies that appear, and practice responses that align with your values. The goal is not to follow a dating formula; it is to better understand yourself and make choices with more intention.
The process
What to expect
Sessions can begin with a current dating experience or a pattern you have been noticing across relationships. Individual therapy is available in Boulder and by telehealth throughout Colorado.
With intention
Bring the pattern you are ready to understand.
You do not need to be in a relationship to explore dating, attachment, boundaries, or the kind of connection you want. Learn more about individual therapy.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be dating someone to start?
No. Individual therapy for dating and relationship patterns can explore past experiences, hopes, and patterns while you are single. You can also bring questions about the kind of connection you want in the future.
Will therapy tell me whom to date?
Dating therapy helps you clarify your own values and patterns rather than prescribe a partner choice. The focus is on your needs, boundaries, and how you want to show up in relationships.
Can we work on dating anxiety?
Yes. Individual therapy can help you explore what dating anxiety brings up and practice ways of responding that feel more aligned with you. You can start with a recent dating experience or a longer-running pattern.
