Frequently Asked Questions About Denver Therapy Services

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, trauma symptoms, or feeling stuck in patterns that aren't serving you, therapy can provide valuable support and evidence-based tools for healing. Many people in Denver seek therapy during life transitions, after traumatic experiences, or when dealing with the impact of discrimination and racism on mental health. Therapy is particularly beneficial for BIPOC individuals navigating cultural identity challenges and racial trauma.

What insurance do you accept for therapy?

I accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Cigna for therapy services in Denver, Colorado. I also accept HSA and FSA payments. Contact my office at 720-797-8411 to verify your specific coverage for mental health services and trauma therapy.

What makes BIPOC therapy different?

BIPOC-focused therapy provides culturally competent care that acknowledges the unique experiences of racism, discrimination, and cultural identity challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Denver. As a therapist committed to social justice, I integrate understanding of systemic oppression, racial trauma, and cultural context into treatment. This approach honors your lived experience while addressing the specific mental health impact of navigating predominantly white spaces and institutions.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Trauma recovery timelines vary based on individual needs and trauma complexity. Some Denver clients see significant improvement in 8-12 sessions of EMDR therapy, while others benefit from longer-term psychodynamic therapy lasting several months. Complex trauma, racial trauma, and PTSD may require more intensive treatment. We'll work together to determine the best approach for your specific healing journey and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Do you offer telehealth therapy in Colorado?

Yes, I provide secure telehealth therapy sessions for clients throughout Colorado, including Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, and Westminster. Online therapy offers convenient access to culturally competent mental health care while maintaining the same quality, confidentiality, and therapeutic outcomes as in-person sessions. Telehealth is particularly beneficial for clients with chronic health conditions, mobility challenges, or scheduling constraints.

What is EMDR therapy and does it work for trauma?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. Research shows EMDR is highly effective for PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and racial trauma. The therapy uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess distressing memories, allowing you to heal without having to talk in detail about the traumatic event. Many Denver clients experience significant relief within 6-12 EMDR sessions.
