When calling, leave a message and a victim's advocate will return your call within 20 minutes.

Affordable Counseling Centers in Denver

I frequently hear from people that they do not know what resources are out there for affordable or sliding scale counseling. Below is a list of counseling options with the starting rates, if known. In many of these places, the counseling interns are students in graduate counseling programs and may only be available during their school year or for one calendar year. This is to say, you may not be able to work with these therapists longer than 1 year.

Good luck! And don't be afraid to shop around to find the best therapist to work with you.

Additionally, many therapists (including myself) offer sliding scale rates or student rates. It may feel uncomfortable to ask, but don't let that stop you from getting the help you need.
