What does treatment look like?

However, we believe the benefits afforded to our clients by not accepting insurance far outweigh the upfront costs associated with our therapy services. We are not held to the same restrictions and limitations as other providers which means we can pursue what we deem to be in the best interests of our clients. 

What this affords you:

We do not accept insurance or Medicaid at this time which we believe to be in the best interest of our clients. We understand that financial resources can be a limiting factor in pursuing your mental health, so if you require services covered by insurance, we are happy to provide you with a trusted referral who might be considered in network for your mental health journey.

Do we accept insurance?

Billing & insurance

Many people do not realize that pursuing therapy though insurance requires a mental health diagnosis and treatment plan be added to your permanent medical record. Here at Colorado Life Therapy, we are free of that burden and can work with you to determine a treatment plan that fits your needs, without getting a third-party provider involved. 

That being said, we ARE considered an out-of-network provider and can provide a Super Bill for clients to submit for reimbursement monthly. We are also able to accept HSA and FSA payments.
