Therapy can help you develop the coping strategies you need to manage many of life’s challenges. If you’re looking for a therapist, CO has many online treatment options. Barriers to mental health care, like a lack of available therapists or financial concerns, can make it challenging to find an in-person mental or behavioral health provider. An online therapy platform like BetterHelp can make therapy more flexible and convenient.

At BetterHelp, you can work with a psychologist, social worker, or marriage and family therapist from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. Plus, you can change providers at any time for no fee until you find one with whom you can have a successful therapeutic relationship.

While BetterHelp does not offer group therapy at this time, the platform allows you to work through your unique challenges with your counselor one-on-one. Whether you need to improve your coping skills, learn to manage everyday stressors, or want to address repetitive behaviors, a BetterHelp provider can guide you through the healing process in a safe, therapeutic space. 

The list below can help you find providers licensed in the state of Colorado so you can learn more about the benefits of online treatment and sign up for your first therapy session.

I would describe myself as a "Mind, Body, & Spirit" counselor who has education and experience in the 'whole' human perspective. I am currently working on a PhD in Psychology with a concentration in consciousness, spirituality, & integrative health. I have a MA degree in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling, a BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, and an AS in Science, where I focused on pre-medical courses. I worked in addictions counseling for 3 years during my practicum and internship, and worked with mental health students for 4 years post-grad, in addition to clients from the public in my private practice, Humanistic Counseling LLC, where I specialize in Panic & Anxiety, Support Animal Assessments, Dreams & Nightmares, LGBTQIA+ clients, Altered States of Consciousness Integration, Sexual Assault Survivors, and most recently, offer Clinical Supervision for Post-MA Counselors-in-training. I also have worked in crisis intake at a local psychiatric hospital completing full assessments for levels of care. Growth happens during uncomfortable phases of our lives. In the moments when we are shook up, lost, or afraid, there is an opportunity for new awareness's, expansion and growth. These struggles though don't have to be experienced alone nor unguided. If harnessed with love and support, we can experience greater openings and insights that will allow us to move forward renewed. The role I take as a therapist is as your helper and assistant. I may offer potential insights, tools, techniques, coping skills, or simply love and caring as you share with me your pain and your joys. I am a client-led therapist, which means you decide what is working for you and what does not work for you. I continually will seek feedback to ensure you are getting the most support from our partnership.

Greetings! My name is Tom Swartz and for the past 25+ years I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have worked with a diverse range of adults seeking to create and enhance their toolbox of life skills. I am a Person-Centered counselor who enjoys working with individuals and couples as they seek assistance in addressing their life issues and concerns. My style is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental and solution focused. Together we will seek ways to support your goals which feed your heart and soul. I have consulted and worked in a variety of counseling settings including: private practice, rural clinics, hospitals, community service organizations, schools, childcare centers, sheltered workshops, military bases (including overseas installations), small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. When working with couples some time is needed for each person to tell their own story and the story they share together which brings them up to the present. From there guidance can be offered to begin building healthier interactions, encouragements, forgiveness, and hope. Small successes, the use of daily skills and new insights can build towards a nurturing, satisfying and successful relationship. If the couple ends the relationship, a real effort is made to appreciate hard lessons learned and how not to repeat them. I have completed my master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology and Computer Information Systems. I have also pursued graduate work in business administration, communication, education, special needs, learning disabilities, and project management. I hold the following certifications: Clinical Fellow, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) National Certified Counselor, National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (NBCC) Master Addiction Counselor (NBCC) Fellow, The American Academy of Pain Management (AAPM) My availability is evenings and weekends with a focus on using phone and video modalities. It will be a pleasure to work with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. I have been in the field of social work for over 10 years working with adults, adolescents, children and families. I believe that every individual is unique and there is not a one-size-fits-all answer or approach when it comes to therapy. I believe that the best outcomes are achieved through a strong therapeutic alliance and collaboration between the clinician and the client; the expert of their own life. I use a holistic approach when working with clients and offer safety, grounding, and gentle guidance through the process of reconnecting with your authentic self. It takes courage to reach out for help. I look forward to walking with you in your personal journey toward healing.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Colorado can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy safe?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
