Aetna Therapist in Colorado

Read on for what we treat in Colorado, how we match you with a clinician, and how we check your Aetna benefits.

Telehealth across the Front Range and beyond

Sessions take place on Mountain time by secure video. Aetna members can join from Fort Collins, Boulder, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, the Western Slope, the San Luis Valley, or the Eastern Plains, as long as they’re physically in Colorado for each session. For people who work long shifts or face winter driving on Interstate 70, cutting out the commute often makes weekly therapy realistic. See how teletherapy works. If you’d prefer to meet in person, we also have offices throughout the US; ask our admin team whether in-person visits are an option with your clinician.

What we help with in Colorado

Colorado members see us for anxiety, depression, stress, chronic health concerns, and feeling stuck in old patterns. Therapy here leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a focus on living according to what matters to you.

Our Colorado clinician

Psychological Healing has 40 clinicians, offering in-person sessions in 20 states and video sessions in 44 states. Our Colorado clinician who is active with Aetna sees members by secure video across the state. When you reach out, our admin team matches you with a clinician whose license, focus, and schedule fit what you need. You can read about everyone on our team.

Your first few weeks

In the first few weeks, you and your clinician will map out what’s going on, agree on goals, and choose an approach that fits. Many evidence-based treatments include short practice assignments between sessions, because skills grow through repetition. You can always ask why a technique is being used. Good therapy for Colorado members is a collaboration, not something done to you.

Confirming your Aetna benefits before you start

Aetna sells many kinds of plans, including health maintenance organization (HMO), preferred provider organization (PPO), and open access plans, and each handles mental health care a little differently. Most PPO and open access plans don’t need a referral for therapy, while some HMO plans do. The quickest way to know is to let us look. Share your member identification (ID) number through our Contact page and we’ll verify your outpatient behavioral health benefits for care in Colorado and explain what we find in plain language. We do not accept Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.
