When everything feels heavy and you've lost motivation for the things you used to enjoy. Depression counseling isn't about someone telling you to "think positive." It's about understanding what's really going on and building strategies that actually work.

Common Questions About Therapy in Castle Rock
How much does therapy cost?
+Sessions are $175-$215 depending on the therapist and session length. We accept HSA/FSA cards and provide superbills for insurance reimbursement. Through Mentaya, many clients get 40-80% of their costs covered by out-of-network benefits.
How do I know if I need therapy?
+If you're asking the question, that's usually a sign something's off. Common reasons people reach out: persistent anxiety or worry, feeling stuck or hopeless, relationship problems, trouble sleeping, big life changes, or just feeling like you're not functioning at your best. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.
How long does therapy take?
+It depends on what you're working on. Some people come for 8-12 sessions to work through a specific issue. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll talk about your goals in the first session and check in regularly about progress.
Do you accept insurance?
+We don't bill insurance directly, but we help you get reimbursed. We provide superbills and partner with Mentaya to submit claims on your behalf. Most of our clients with out-of-network benefits get significant reimbursement.
What's the difference between a therapist, counselor, and psychologist?
+For most people seeking help, these terms are pretty interchangeable. Our therapists are licensed (LMFT and LCSW) which means they've completed graduate training and supervised clinical hours. Psychologists typically have doctoral degrees and can do psychological testing. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. We're therapists who do talk therapy and EMDR.
Do you offer virtual therapy?
+Yes! We offer secure video sessions for anyone in Colorado. Online therapy is especially helpful if you're in a more remote area, have a packed schedule, or just prefer the convenience of therapy from home. Same great therapists, same quality care.
