Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: We accept Medicaid for all Colorado clients! While we are not in-network with other insurance companies, many of our clients are reimbursed for 50% to 80% of their session fees by their insurance through the monthly superbill we provide clients, which is an itemized receipt of services provided that can be submitted directly to insurance.

Q: Why are you out-of-network

A: This is an intentional choice to protect the quality of care our clients receive. Most insurance plans require a mental health diagnosis and do not cover couple or family therapy, which can restrict the freedoms of people using them. By remaining out-of-network we can meet clients however they might come to us.

Q: How long does couples therapy take?

A: The length of couples therapy depends on your goals and the patterns you are hoping to shift. Typically couples therapy lasts somewhere between 8 and 20 sessions, but many also stay beyond that point for deeper relational work or to maintain progress.

Q: Should we go to therapy before marriage?

A: Yes! Pre-marital or pre-commitment counseling is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your relationship. Therapy isn’t just for couples in crisis, it’s also for couples who want to build a solid foundation before entering marriage or long-term partnership, even if you’re already feeling close and aligned, therapy helps you get ahead of future challenges and understand each other more deeply.

Q: How do I know if I need to see a couples therapist?

A: If you’re wondering whether your marriage needs counseling, that’s often a sign it’s worth exploring and that therapy can be helpful. Some common reasons couples seek therapy include frequent arguments, feeling distant or disconnected, struggling to communicate, recovering from a breach of trust, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond. If something feels off or stuck, therapy can help you find clarity and a path forward.

Q: Is couples therapy only for people on the verge of divorce?

A: Not at all. Many of the couples we work with are still deeply committed and want to grow together, not just “fix” things when they’re falling apart. In fact, early intervention leads to the best outcomes. Whether you’re newly dating, cohabiting, married, or somewhere in between, we’re here to help you feel more seen, heard, and understood.

Q: Do you offer online therapy in Colorado?

A: Yes, we offer online therapy to clients in Colorado and beyond. Our secure telehealth platform makes it easy to connect with your therapist from the comfort of your home or office. Whether you’re seeking couples therapy, individual counseling, or family support, you can access the same high-quality care online as you would in person.

Q: How do I get started?

A: We offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you explore whether couples therapy or individual counseling is the right next step. You can meet with one of our warm, highly trained therapists who will listen to your concerns and answer any questions you have, no pressure or commitment required.

Q: How do I know I need therapy?

A: If you’re asking that question, then it may be time to seek help. Therapy can be beneficial for everyone, even those who may not have pressing mental health concerns at the time.

Q: Can couples therapy help if only one partner wants to go?

A: While it isn’t the ideal setup, many couples can still find improvement in their relationship when one partner is resistant to therapy. Sitting down for the session is the first step, and if they are willing to do that then our trained clinicians can take it from there!

Q: How do I choose the right therapist?

A: Finding a provider who you click with can be a long process, but there are factors important when searching, such as treatment methods, training, and specialties. All of this information and more is included on our therapist’s bio pages, and if you don’t feel the connection with your first therapist from us we would be happy to schedule with another!
