Do you accept insurance?
Please check our fee page for details on which therapists accept certain insurances.
Additionally, we proudly accept Crime Victim Compensation. If you are the direct or indirect victim of a crime, you may be eligible for services as part of victim’s compensation. Please contact us with your case number and visit the Colorado CVC website for more information.
We accept two regions (called “RAEs”) of Medicaid called Colorado Access and Rocky Mountain Health Plan. To find out what RAE you are in, check out the handy guide here.
We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
Does my health insurance plan include mental/behavioral health benefits?
Does my health insurance plan include ‘out of network’ mental/behavioral health coverage?
Is there a deductible for these services? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
Does my plan limit how many mental health sessions per calendar year? If so, what is the limit?
Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered (this is often the case with TriCare West)?
Do you offer sliding scale?

Why should I get counseling?
No matter who you are or where you are at on your journey to well being, know this: we all need help at times. We can all benefit from learning how to process and heal from life’s challenges, and what to do with mental and emotional pain: anger, conflict, constant irritability, lack of patience and guilt. Counseling will help you learn how to:
let go of constant worry, tension, fear, insomnia, and anxiety
sleep better so that you can feel better physically and have more energy
cope with stress in relationships, work, and school
find and maintain healthy relationships
identify what it is you really want, and become assertive in getting it
get through the loss of a loved one with caring support

Is therapy going to cost me a fortune? How long will it take?
So much of this depends on you: your circumstances, your goals, your motivation and what you consider to be a “fortune.” Our approach is solutions-based, meaning we rely on proven tools and techniques that you can start applying on Day One. Our goal is to identify the most effective route to a happier and healthier you, giving you the tools needed to confidently sustain your wellbeing on your own.
Our personal experiences in having paid for therapy during difficult phases of our lives, is that the real “fortune” at stake here is the treasure of good health – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. The investment may require compromises in other areas of your life, and may not come easy, but we have always found it worthwhile. We have also found that feeling better allowed us to save time and money, freeing up the resources we needed to cover therapy. We call this the “snowball effect” of health and abundance.
