Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
Some of our practitioners take Medicaid and Aetna for individual therapy. Currently, we do not accept any other insurance. However, we can provide you with a superbill for individual therapy if you have out-of-network coverage.
Can I use my insurance for couples therapy?
No, you cannot use insurance for couples therapy when the couple is the client. Whether we accept your insurance or not, billing insurance for relationship therapy when the couple is the client is not covered by insurance or Mediciad. Billing insurance or Medicaid for this service is unethical and possibly illegal. Insurance covers an individual only and, therefore, only individual therapy. Billable services titled 'couples/family therapy' are billed only when a provider is treating an individual and bringing in a partner or family member on a limited basis in support of the treatment of the individual (not the couple). Relationship therapy for couples is not a service currently covered by any major insurance provider, including Medicaid.
How much does therapy cost?
Session fees range from $150-200 for a typical 50-minute session. If you have insurance with out-of-network benefits, you might be able to get some of this fee reimbursed. We can provide you with a superbill, for you to send to your insurance provider and get reimbursed based on your out-of-network benefits.
Can I talk to a therapist for a brief consult before making a decision?
Yes, once we determine which therapist will be the best match, you will have a free 20-minute phone consultation to ensure that it's a good fit.
Can I come to session in person?
Yes! Therapy is often most effective face-to-face. There is a plethora of information from neuroscience on how being in the physical presence of other human beings benefits the therapy process. We conduct the majority of sessions in-person in Boulder, Colorado.
How frequently should I meet with a therapist?
Frequency comes down to scheduling, finances and overall desire. Weekly and bi-weekly are the most common, as longer time between sessions seems to be too long. People typically meet more frequently in the start of therapy and shift to less frequent after a few months. You and the therapist get to determine what is best and most supportive.
What types of therapy do you offer?
We offer a broad spectrum of therapy here at Evolve In Nature. Our therapists take a holistic perspective using various modalities: somatic-based, nature-based, trauma interventions, EMDR, depth, psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, person-centered, humanistic, and mindfulness-based. We work at the root cause (What is causing the discomfort or 'issue' for the individual?) rather than staying at the surface level. We treat a wide variety of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and body issues.
What is nature-based therapy?
Many of our practitioners offer nature-based therapy, both indoors and outdoors. Nature-based therapy implicitly and explicitly utilizes the benefits of nature in the healing process. Outdoor sessions allow for a myriad of ways to incorporate nature into the therapeutic process. This includes nervous system regulation, metaphor and meaning-making, and relational and experiential processes. Nature-based therapy can be especially supportive for those recovering from trauma (past or recent), depression, or anxiety. Your therapist at Evolve In Nature will incorporate nature-based therapy into your overall treatment alongside other modalities and interventions.
What happens if I meet my therapist outdoors for nature-based therapy and the weather is bad?
Your therapist will pre-arrange with you an inclement weather plan, based on a variety of factors determined by the therapist. In the case where you cannot meet outdoors, your session will be moved to indoors.
Can I transition from individual to couples therapy down the line?
In most cases, it is best to find a couple's therapist rather than surrendering the individual-therapist relationship. Also, a relationship that is already established with one person can create bias or a sense of unsafety for the partner joining therapy.
Are your therapists able to prescribe medication if needed?
Our therapists do not prescribe medication. Only psychiatrists are able to do this.
