Local Funding Sources for Therapy

I accept additional funding sources for therapy!

Your employer may offer Triad EAP benefits. This can be anywhere from 3-6 free sessions, per issue, per year. Contact your HR department to see if you have free counseling sessions. If you do have Triad and want to begin therapy, you need to submit an authorization through their website (you will see me as a provider on their list). Once I receive the authorization, we can schedule therapy.

One of the biggest barriers to mental health treatment is affordability for those who don't have insurance. My standard rate is $125 per hour (which is on the low end for Colorado). How does the sliding scale work? With Open Path, clients receive a 30% to 60% discount, depending on the fee they choose that works within their budget. I let clients pick their fee in the $40 to $70 range. I don't get involved in making them prove their income or anything like that. Most people are at $45 or $50, though people have picked $70 or $40. How and when do you direct clients to Open Path? When I get a prospective client who is asking about my sliding scale, I send them to Open Path. I explain how Open Path works, that they will have to pay the initial $65 fee to keep the website going, but that they will...
