How Can I Invest in Therapy?

We currently accept some insurance plans including United Health Care and all Optum plans as well as Colorado Medicaid. For those that would like to invest via out-of-pocket reimbursements sessions are $150.

How Frequently Will I Meet with My Therapist?

Frequency depends on a few factors. Many clients find that when things are challenging, once per week is needed to ensure your therapist can be responsive to ever evolving circumstances—we want to stay attuned to you. However, the frequency of sessions can vary depending on severity of the concerns and what YOU believe will be helpful. However, it is important to note that once per month sessions are often best for when you are at the end of your therapy journey. Requesting once per month at the beginning of therapy can limit healing and make it challenging for your therapist to stay attuned to your needs, and thus we discourage it.

How long will therapy take?

It takes as long as it takes. However, a couple factors can help the therapy process along. These factors include how often and consistent a person shows up to therapy. It is also a tested and true saying that “we get out what we put in”. Which is to say, if clients practice skills outside of session and work to make, often difficult, changes in their life, growth is more likely to come sooner rather than later.

What is your cancellation fee?

We require 24 hours notice for the cancellations of appointments. Cancellations received less than 24 hours notice are subject to a fee ranging from half, to all of my session fee ($150). This is to honor our time, maintain a sustainable business model, and honor the time of others who could have used the session if more time had be given to reschedule. Moreover, we ask that those investing in therapy recognize that this is a commitment to healing and growth which requires consistency and communication to maintain a working relationship between your therapist and you. Frequent cancellation of appointments or lack of communication around rescheduling of appointments may mean discontinuing the therapeutic relationship.

Do dogs join our sessions?

Yes, at Grand Mesa Counseling a couple of our therapist employ the use of dogs to help foster an environment of healing. Your therapist will always discuss the presence of a dog in their therapy room before your first session. We ask everyone treat our dogs with courtesy and respect—they have a hard job!
