Frequently Asked Questions
I have never done this before, how do I get started? Do I need to know what specialties and types of therapy I need or want?
We are happy to get you started! When you contact us, we will help match you to a clinician.
Our trauma-informed clinicians are all trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). They come from varied backgrounds and have specialties that differentiate them from one another including depth psychology, eating disorder recovery, psychedelic therapy, child and family therapy, couples therapy, and trauma recovery.
Our admin team knows the therapists and their specialties very well and can help you with a recommendation.
Calling is easy, and we make it as painless as possible; Jenn might ask you a few questions to help match you with the best fit, such as, ‘Do you have a person in mind? Are you looking for something specific? Do you have a male or female preference?’ You will never be asked to give any information you are uncomfortable with. Please let us know if you have preferred pronouns.
If you submit a form, we will contact you using your requested method (phone, email or text). Our admin team is generally in the office between the hours of 9:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday through Friday.
During your consultation, you can go into more detail and collaboratively work with your therapist to find the best path forward to address your goals. The therapists will be able to speak to what types of therapy they would recommend to get you there.

Do you take insurance?
We may be considered an out-of-network provider by your insurance company. At your request, your clinician is able to provide you with an insurance ready form (CMS-1500) that you can submit to your insurance company. Please let your therapists know if you think you will want these forms so we can be sure to make them available for you.
If you have any questions about your insurance benefits, please contact your insurance company to see if they reimburse for out-of-network providers. We do not contact insurance companies on behalf of our clients, nor are we able to answer any questions about your insurance coverage.
Can you see me if I have Medicaid? What if I can pay out of pocket?

How often will I meet with a therapist?
How long will I be in therapy?
Do you offer remote therapy appointments?
Virtual therapy can be a great option for people who have challenges attending in-person appointments. Due to licensing regulations, you must reside in the state of Colorado to be seen remotely by one of our therapists.
If you live in the mountains or in a rural area or have other barriers to attending in-person therapy appointments, we are happy to offer remote therapy. We offer telehealth therapy appointments using a HIPAA-compliant video therapy system that can be used from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.
We can adapt trauma techniques for virtual therapy, including EMDR.
Can I do my consultation over the phone?
Due to Covid-19 all new consults will be done using teletherapy/virtual therapy.
The purpose of the initial consultation session is to ensure goodness of fit between therapist and client and we find that this is best done face-to-face using the medium you plan to use for therapy sessions.
Do you provide medication management?
Yes, we do. Adrienne Long, PMHNP, provides psychiatry. Adrienne specializes in:
- Pregnancy, Postpartum
- Eating Disorder Recovery
- Anxiety, Worry, and Panic
- Mood Disorders
- Trauma Recovery
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
If medication is part of your mental health treatment, we can collaborate with your existing prescriber. If you aren’t sure if medication might be helpful to you, you and your therapist can talk about this, and they can help you decide how to proceed. We can also collaborate with your family doctor, primary care physician, OBGYN, or midwife to support your medication needs.
If I don’t feel like I found the right fit right away, can I make an appointment with someone else?
Will you share my information with anyone?
Confidentiality and privacy are at the heart of good, ethical therapy. We will never share any of your information with anyone without an authorized release of information signed by you. If someone contacts us asking for information about you, we will neither confirm nor deny that you are a client here unless we already have explicit written permission from you to speak with that person. If we do have your written permission, we will only share the specific information that you have given us permission to share.

Can I make an appointment for someone else?
Are there specialties that you do not see?
- Substance abuse: We do not have anyone on our staff who specializes in substance abuse so are not a good fit as your primary therapist if you are currently struggling with active substance abuse. If you are in recovery and have substance abuse specific support in place, we may be a good fit to work on related issues such as mood, anxiety, or relationships. We also work with clients who are in long term recovery and are interested in understanding their deeper challenges, managing mood or anxiety issues, or working on their relationships. If your main therapeutic goal is around active substance abuse, we are not the best fit.
- Custody evaluations or court ordered therapy: We do not do custody evaluations or court ordered therapy.
- Animal evaluations: Like most therapists, we will not certify an Emotional Service Animal without an established relationship with a client. If you are calling with getting an emotional support animal letter as your main goal, we are not the right fit.
- Disability: Like most therapists, we will not sign disability papers without having an established, ongoing relationship with a client. If you are looking for someone to fill out disability forms, we are not the right fit.
