Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in Colorado Springs
Starting therapy can come with a lot of questions. At Be The Change Counseling Services, we want clients in Colorado Springs to feel informed and comfortable before beginning counseling. Below are answers to some of the most common questions about therapy, insurance, virtual sessions, confidentiality, scheduling, and what to expect during the counseling process.
-
Yes. Be The Change Counseling Services accepts several insurance plans for therapy services in Colorado Springs, including select Medicaid and commercial insurance plans. Insurance coverage can vary depending on the therapist and your specific plan benefits.
We also offer private pay options for clients who prefer not to use insurance or who may be out-of-network. Private pay therapy sessions are $110 per 53–60 minute session, and reduced-rate options may be available in some circumstances.
If you are unsure whether your insurance is accepted, we are happy to help verify your benefits before scheduling your first appointment. You can contact us to discuss coverage, estimated costs, and available appointment options for in-person or virtual counseling services.

Therapy can help if you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, anxious, depressed, disconnected, or struggling to cope with stress, relationships, trauma, or major life changes. Many people seek counseling when their emotions, thoughts, or experiences begin affecting daily life, work, school, relationships, sleep, motivation, or overall well-being.
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients begin therapy simply because they want better coping skills, healthier relationships, improved self-understanding, or support navigating difficult situations.
At Be The Change Counseling Services, we work with children, teens, and adults in Colorado Springs experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process experiences, develop insight, and build tools for lasting change.
If you are unsure whether therapy is the right fit, we are happy to answer questions and help you determine what type of support may be most helpful for your needs.

Therapy sessions are designed to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly discuss your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and challenges. During counseling, your therapist will work collaboratively with you to better understand your concerns, identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and support progress toward your personal goals.
The first few therapy sessions often focus on getting to know you, understanding your history, discussing current concerns, and identifying what you hope to gain from therapy. As treatment progresses, sessions may involve processing emotions, learning new coping skills, improving communication, exploring relationships, increasing self-awareness, or working through difficult life experiences and trauma.
At Be The Change Counseling Services, therapy is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. We provide counseling for children, teens, and adults in Colorado Springs and utilize evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed therapy, and other integrative approaches depending on the client’s needs.
Therapy sessions are typically 53–60 minutes long and may take place in person at our Colorado Springs office or virtually through secure telehealth services.

Yes. Be The Change Counseling Services offers both in-person and virtual therapy sessions for clients in Colorado Springs and throughout Colorado.
In-person counseling sessions take place at our Colorado Springs office in a comfortable and supportive environment designed to help clients feel safe and at ease during therapy. We also offer secure telehealth therapy sessions for clients who prefer the convenience and flexibility of attending counseling from home or another private location.
Virtual therapy can be a helpful option for individuals with busy schedules, transportation challenges, childcare needs, health concerns, or those who simply feel more comfortable attending sessions remotely. Both virtual and in-person therapy provide confidential, professional mental health support and use the same evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
Depending on scheduling and therapist availability, clients may also have the flexibility to alternate between virtual and in-person counseling sessions when appropriate.

Yes. Be The Change Counseling Services provides therapy services for children, teens, and adults in Colorado Springs. We work with young clients experiencing a variety of emotional, behavioral, social, and mental health concerns in a supportive and age-appropriate environment.
Children and teens may benefit from therapy when struggling with anxiety, depression, school stress, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem issues, family changes, peer relationships, trauma, grief, or major life transitions. Therapy can help young clients develop healthy coping skills, improve communication, process emotions, and build confidence and resilience.
Our therapists tailor sessions to each child or teen’s developmental needs and individual personality. Depending on the client’s age and goals, therapy may include conversation, coping skill development, emotional education, creative activities, parent collaboration, and other therapeutic approaches designed to support growth and healing.
Parents and caregivers are often an important part of the therapeutic process, especially for younger children, while still respecting appropriate levels of privacy and confidentiality for teen clients.
