Self Care Impact has been amazing. I have a personal therapist as well as a marriage counselor. I don't know what I would do without them. I have never had such professional and skilled therapists before. I feel like I am really learning about myself and I have real hope for the future because of their help.
My therapist at Self Care Impact Counseling is an amazing provider with an open and warm heart that makes sharing feel easy and collaborative. I feel like she truly understands me and my needs, and I couldn’t ask for a better environment to open up.
Working with my therapist at SCI is like having coffee with a trusted friend who just happens to be an expert on the mind and trauma. It’s obvious she’s passionate about her work and I feel more like a student than a patient as she helps me to feel safe and curious about my patterns and behaviors rather than broken and medicalized.
I felt so comfortable with my therapist in such a short period of time. She provides sound feedback, and is able to teach so many helpful skills. I am so appreciative to have found her, and the professional relationship has impacted my life for the better. The space is also very welcoming and cozy!

Why Self Care Impact?

Q: How are you different?
A: We believe great therapy shouldn't be a luxury. By building a team of highly-skilled, early-career therapists, we provide modern, evidence-based care at a more accessible price point than traditional private practices.

Q: Is Self Care Impact affordable?
A: Yes, we offer competitive rates between $100–$195 by utilizing a team of skilled therapist candidates and interns, making quality mental health care more accessible to the Colorado community.

Q: Why are your rates lower than many private practices?
A: We are built as a team based practice rather than a solo practice model. That lets us share resources and invest in training and supervision while keeping client fees more accessible.

Q: How do you keep care high quality while staying more affordable?
A: Our clinicians work within a structured clinical model that includes training, evidence based methods, and regular supervision and consultation. That support system helps us deliver excellent care while keeping rates lower than many traditional private practices.

Q: What makes Self Care Impact feel different as a practice?
A: We focus on warm, modern, skills based therapy that is practical and evidence informed. Clients often tell us the experience feels organized, supportive, and goal oriented, not open ended or vague.

Q: Who will I be working with, and what does supervision look like?
A: You will be matched with a therapist based on your specific goals and personality fit. We strongly encourage you to review our team’s individual specialty pages to see which clinician’s approach resonates most with you.

Because we are a teaching and team-based practice, our clinicians participate in rigorous, weekly clinical supervision and case consultation. This means you don't just get the care of one therapist; you benefit from a collective, experienced clinical team supporting your progress behind the scenes.

Q: How quickly can I get an appointment?
A: Because we have a team, we can often offer more scheduling availability and shorter wait times. We also make it easy to move between in person and telehealth when life gets busy.

Q: What are your fees, and are there any hidden costs?
A: Our pricing is transparent and discussed before you start. Your intake will include a clear review of session rates, cancellation policies, and any optional services so you can make an informed decision.

Q: Do you accept insurance or provide superbills?
A: If you are using out of network benefits, we can typically provide documentation for reimbursement. We can also help you understand what questions to ask your insurer so you have clarity on expected costs.

Q: Can I do therapy less often to reduce cost?
A: Absolutely. Many people start weekly and then shift to every other week as they build skills and stability. We will collaborate on a pace that fits both your goals and your budget.

Q: Do you have a sliding scale or options if cost is a concern?
A: We aim to keep rates accessible up front, and we will talk with you about options that fit your budget. In many cases we can suggest a cadence that still supports progress, plus lower cost resources when appropriate.
