Making Friends and Isolation in Your 20s and 30s

Finding your ‘people’ as an adult is a journey in itself, especially in a place like Denver or Colorado Springs, which can sometimes feel like a desert despite all the people around. Maybe you’ve tried clubbing only to realize it’s not your scene, or you’re spending weekends at home wondering when you’ll meet that close community or ideal partner. I get it—I’ve been there, too. I know how transformative it can be to find a sense of community, identity, and purpose in this stage of life.

Black Bold and Learning Therapy’s Approach

At Black Bold Learning Therapy, I understand the unique pressures and demands faced by young adults during school ( college or graduate school), and in their post-professional life. I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for you to explore your emotions, build coping skills, and develop a strong sense of self. At Black Bold Learning Therapy, I use evidence-based techniques to help you navigate your journey:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to reframe negative thoughts and boost resilience.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

• Mindfulness and Somatic Techniques – for grounding and stress relief.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help you build confidence in your unique values and goals.

However, therapy is whatever you need it to be. If you are trying to work through some things in your life and want someone to help you through an integrative therapy approach, we’d likely be a good fit.

Why Choose Black Bold Learning Therapy?

• Inclusive Environment – A space where students of all backgrounds feel welcomed.

• Tailored Therapy – An approach customized to your unique challenges and goals.

• Empowering Approach – Helping you build self-advocacy skills for systemic challenges.

• Evidence-Based Support – Effective methods like CBT and DBT for personal growth.
