FEES & POLICIES

Clear information, shared with care

Talking about money can feel uncomfortable — especially when you’re already navigating stress, trauma, or uncertainty. This page exists to reduce questions, not add pressure. We believe transparency builds safety, and safety supports healing.

You’re always welcome to ask questions. Nothing here is meant to rush you or obligate you to anything.

Grounded in grace. Guided by science. Rooted in neuroscience.

Counseling Is an Investment — Not a Judgment

Counseling is an investment in your nervous system, your relationships, and your future. An investment is something you pay for upfront that yields meaningful returns over time — often in ways that ripple far beyond the therapy room.

If you’re ready to do the work at a pace that respects your system, counseling can change not only your life, but the lives of the people you love.

There is no “right” timeline, no requirement to commit long-term, and no expectation to have everything figured out before you begin.

Insurance Accepted

Health First Colorado is the name of Colorado’s Medicaid program, which works with RAEs to coordinate behavioral health services across the state.

We accept Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) through the following Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) organizations:

Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) — Region 1
Northeast Health Partners (NHP) — Region 2
Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA) — Region 3
Colorado Access — Region 4

If you have questions about eligibility, your assigned RAE, or whether a specific service is covered, we’re happy to help you check your coverage and provider participation.

If you’re unsure which region you’re in or whether your plan is accepted, we’re happy to help you sort that out.

Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act)

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges if you are not using insurance or if you are self-paying for services.

A Good Faith Estimate provides an overview of the anticipated cost of therapy services over time. This estimate is not a contract and does not require you to commit to a specific number of sessions.

You may request a Good Faith Estimate at any time — before starting services or during ongoing care.

If your actual charges are substantially higher than your estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill under federal law.

We are happy to walk through this with you slowly and answer any questions.

Cancellations & Scheduling

We understand that life happens — and we also honor the time set aside for your care.

We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.
Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged the full session fee.

If you’re feeling unwell or something unexpected arises, please reach out. We aim to hold boundaries with compassion, not rigidity.

A Gentle Reminder

You are not required to decide everything today. You are not expected to commit before you feel ready. You are always allowed to ask questions.

This page is here to support clarity — not pressure.

Next Step

If you’d like to talk through options, insurance, or what might be a good fit, we can do that together.

You don’t have to heal alone. You just have to begin.
