What Our Clients Say
FAQs
Do You Accept Insurance?
We do not accept insurance. Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to approve therapy and often dictate the method and process of treatment. To ensure we provide the most client-centered care, we operate as a private pay-only practice, tailoring our services to meet your individual needs. However, we do accept HSA and Flex Pay credit cards, and can provide a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network benefits.

At South Denver Therapy, we customize the treatment plan to ensure the most effective and efficient path to healing for each client.
