Rates/FAQs

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.

A: A superbill is an itemized receipt of services provided that can be submitted directly to your insurance company for reimbursement.

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.

A: Yes! We offer reduced-fee therapy at half the standard rate with our graduate intern, Vally Rodriguez. In addition, Vally can provide sliding-scale options to make therapy even more affordable based on financial need. You can learn more about Vally and reach out to her here, or explore our reduced-fee program here.

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.

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.

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.

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.
