While counseling services are widely associated with treating mental health challenges, there can be so much more to the counseling experience. A therapist can offer support and tools to facilitate the healing process for family conflict, manage stress, explore personal growth, and in general build a more authentic life. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Broomfield, CO may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than just reaching out to the nearest practice. One reason for this is that within the mental health field there are any number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches which can be more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed. One therapist may specialize in DBT for eating disorders, while another may be certified in family therapy for relationships suffering from insecure attachment. What you want or need may not necessarily be available nearby, or even seeing new patients. This is where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide variety of mental health professionals who have expertise in a broad range of therapeutic approaches and experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your individual needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

BetterHelp can also be a convenient solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office. 

If you live in the Broomfield County area and have been considering therapy as a way to improve well-being and lead a more fulfilling life, contact BetterHelp or check out the list of online-based Broomfield providers below to get started.

Eating disorders
6 years of experience as a mental health therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. Becoming a therapist is my encore career, after many years in technology and administration at a large university. Helping women find solutions to their eating and body image issues has been my passion since 2011 (with some time off during COVID). For those of you with eating issues (or if you know someone who has them): Do you find yourself constantly dieting or restricting what you eat, weight-cycling or even binge-eating? Do you lose weight only to gain it back and then some? I have years of experience treating women with recent and life-long eating issues, especially disordered eating and binge eating disorder. We have food and body issues for a variety of reasons. I can help you identify the source(s) of your struggles, and we can work together to try to resolve these issues. I’ll be honest, this can be difficult. I can help you restore a healthy relationship with food and feel better about your body. Taking the first step takes courage. You'll be glad you did. I am here to support you.

4 years of experience as a mental health therapist

I am licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado since 2011, and received my M.A. in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. Although I have experience providing therapy around a variety of issues, my areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, & transitions/life changes. I'm also passionate about working with clients around compassion fatigue, an issue many of us in service and caretaking-related fields experience at some point. It is my strong belief that we, as humans, were designed to connect, to be seen and known fully, but isolation and brokenness are often the reality. Augustine often wrote about "the unobserved life," referring to the cruciality of self-reflection. I am here to facilitate a more observed life for the purpose of deeper self-awareness, insight into our own strengths and weaknesses, a greater sense of purpose and direction, and even cultivating empathy and understanding for others. Pain and sorrow are often the means by which we grow. Rather than offering a band aid or "feel better fast" approach, which, I believe, is antithetical to the deep soul work we actually need, I will walk alongside you in your pain, whatever that pain may look like. Research shows that the modality a therapist uses matters much, much less in terms of treatment outcomes than the quality of relationship between therapist and client. As such, I implement an eclectic approach, often using aspects of several different models if helpful including CBT, DBT, and existential therapy, but believe the most poignant and lasting change occurs as a result of the genuine human connection found in the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working with you!

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Broomfield area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Broomfield therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Broomfield due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Broomfield may not take health insurance, some in the state of Colorado may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Colorado you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). If you're looking for a therapist, Cincinnati offers a variety of professionals who can help with your mental health needs at a price you can afford.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Broomfield?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Broomfield therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Broomfield therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Broomfield therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Broomfield therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in CO, therapists may be booked out with clients.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Broomfield counselor?

Before seeing your Broomfield therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy in Broomfield.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, 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 feedback and advice from a therapist. A Broomfield licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy with a Broomfield counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Broomfield, Colorado can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Broomfield has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
