We want your treatment experience to be as positive and helpful as possible. If counseling is a new experience for you, you may have some questions about it, and that’s normal. So here’s a little information to prepare you for your first contact with our Network.

Step One - Make the call.

Call 303.730.8858 for an initial assessment. You will be asked a number of questions that will help us determine how we can best help you.  We can help you with payment and insurance questions.

Step Two - Meet to determine how we will work together.

Your initial appointment. Your initial appointment will be with a therapist on our Access team. He or she will carefully listen to your needs and concerns, and gather information regarding your treatment history, symptoms and other relevant issues. This information is then used to determine which of our many therapists is best suited to care for your needs.

You and your access therapist will decide together, the best treatment options available for you. There are a number of treatment options available to you, including but not limited to single-session treatment, time-effective treatment, episodic care, specialty team referrals, community referrals, and individual, family and group therapy. Your access therapist will explain to you the next steps for receiving services.

Step Three - Develop a treatment plan. Get going!

Meeting your therapist or case manager. After your initial appointment, you will be contaced by a clinical care coordinator. This may be a therapist or case manager. Together you will develop a comprehensive treatment plan and begin treatment. Talk with your clinical care coordinator about your feelings and be as open and honest as you can. Ask questions. Plan the course of treatment with your clinical care coordinator. Because remember - this is your treatment. The more you contribute, the better the outcomes may be. Make sure you give plenty of feedback to your therapist and incorporate treatment closings in your goal planning. Most of all, remember that change takes time and lasting changes require a commitment on your part to be more successful.

Step Four - Achieve your treatment goals.

Achieving treatment goals. Once you have achieved your treatment goals, talk to your clinical care coordinator about completing treatment or updating your treatment plan to involve community support or other external resources that will help you with your recovery. Sometimes people feel motivated to end counseling without a closing session. It's usually in your best interest, however, to follow through treatment to its conclusion. And if you feel better at the end of your treatment, as many people do, congratulations again!
