Online therapy in Colorado.

Colorado draws people who are building something: careers in tech, healthcare, and the outdoor industry along the Front Range, a fast-growing Denver metro, and mountain communities where work and identity are often tied tightly to place. Many of the adults I work with here look like they're thriving from the outside, and are privately carrying exhaustion, old trauma, or anxiety that hasn't eased no matter how much they hike, train, or optimize.

Colorado is also one of the few states where psychedelic medicine is moving into the open, and more people are arriving at therapy with an experience they want help understanding. Others come because a relationship with alcohol or other substances has quietly become the way they cope. Whatever brings you in, the work starts from what you actually want, not from a plan decided for you.

Telehealth therapy in Colorado requires the therapist to hold an active license in the state where the client is physically located at the time of the session. I hold an active LCSW in Colorado, regulated by the State Board of Social Work Examiners, so you're receiving care from a clinician legally authorized to practice in Colorado and accountable to the state's licensing standards. Alongside my clinical social work license, I hold an LCADC credential in New Jersey and specialized training in substance use, which informs the addiction and co-occurring work I do with Colorado clients.

If you live in Colorado but travel regularly to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, or Maine, you can continue sessions while in any of those states. I hold an active LCSW in all six.

Online therapy for Colorado residents works the same way as in-person therapy, with one difference: you connect via a secure video platform instead of driving to an office. You receive a unique session link by email before each appointment and join from any private space in Colorado with a stable internet connection. That means no I-25 traffic, no mountain passes in a snowstorm, and no hour carved out of a workday just to get there and back.

Whether you're in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Aurora, Pueblo, Grand Junction, or a mountain town far from any specialist, access to specialized care no longer depends on your proximity to an office. A growing body of research shows online therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person work for anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and substance use.

Therapy here addresses a wide range of concerns, with particular depth in complex trauma and attachment wounds, anxiety, depression and chronic low mood, burnout, substance use and addiction recovery through a harm-reduction lens, psychedelic preparation and integration, relational stress, identity concerns, and stressful life transitions. These rarely exist in isolation; the work treats them as interconnected, not as separate diagnoses addressed in sequence.

For Colorado clients exploring psychedelics, integration therapy offers a place to prepare, and to work with what surfaces afterward. I'm MAPS-trained in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and grounded in harm reduction, and I'm clear about the line: no substances are provided or administered here. I also hold an LCADC credential, so when substances are part of a broader picture of trauma or burnout, that history is part of the work rather than a reason for referral.

My approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, psychodynamic and attachment-informed therapy, person-centered therapy, Coherence Therapy, existential and transpersonal psychology, CBT, DBT, REBT, ACT, exposure therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I'm a second-year student at Somatic Experiencing International and have completed MAPS MDMA-assisted psychotherapy training.

Much of what drives anxiety, burnout, relational patterns, and addictive behavior isn't primarily cognitive. It's rooted in the nervous system, past experiences, and learned adaptations that keep operating in the present. Effective work addresses this at the level where the patterns actually live.

Alchemy Psychotherapy is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. A reduced fee is available in limited circumstances based on financial need and current caseload. I do not bill insurance directly, but I provide a Superbill on the first of each month for clients with out-of-network mental health benefits, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before treatment begins.

Many Colorado residents, particularly those with employer-sponsored plans along the Front Range, have out-of-network mental health coverage. Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask specifically about out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement rates for LCSW services before starting.
