Over the last decade, like many others, I have struggled with my mental health and have sought services. Although, I have not been seen by the counseling service at CU Denver in a couple of years, I have to write this review based on how phenomenal my care was and how available the team made themselves. I have struggled to find and stabilize counseling and healthcare services since I have Colorado in 2020 and with all the negative reviews out there. I am choosing to recommend anyone struggling with mental health concerns in the CU Denver/Auraria campus area, or surrounding areas, to seek out help. If my counselor reads this, thank you for everything you helped me with and I carry with me to this day.
