Adult Counseling

About Adult Counseling

Individual adult counseling is beneficial whether you are looking to improve your general well-being or navigating a particular life stressor. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, facing a career change, experiencing relationship issues, or struggling with your mood, counseling is a professional place to start. We take a humanistic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approach, focusing on you as an individual to help you gain control of your emotions and get on a healthier path.

How Counseling Works

Many people confuse counseling with the Freudian approach of laying on a couch and talking about their deepest, darkest fears. We can assure you, this is not how the counseling process works in this day and age and we try to make things as comfortable as possible for our clients. At a counseling session you can expect to discuss whatever is on your mind and together and we will discuss possible solutions and help you to find answers to the problems you may be experiencing. We work together and build a strong rapport and take things at a pace that works for you. We will discuss together what the frequency and length of sessions will be. We also try to support our clients outside of the office so that they know we are available to help them even when we’re not in the office. Counseling is meant to be a safe and non-judgmental place and we always strive to provide this for our clients. We work together to create strategies and to learn tools that will help you to deal with life stressors as they come along. We take a humanistic, person-centered approach, and cognitive-behavioral approach, which means we focus on the person as an individual and help them gain control of their emotions through cognitive techniques.

Questions and Answers

Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about our services.

How do I begin the counseling process?

We try to make it as simple as possible. You can either reach out to us directly via message on the “contact us” page or by phone 720-432-3496. From there, we will ask for a bit of background information and then offer up availability that closest matches your needs. Once an appointment is made, your counselor will reach out to you via email to send you a link to our client portal, which will have all appropriate documents and will confirm your appointment time.

How many sessions will I need to have?

This is typically decided after your first session between you and your counselor. Most counselors will recommend starting with 1x/week to begin building rapport. Depending on the severity of issues, what you’ve budgeted for, and your own personal thoughts/counselors perceptions, session frequency will be decided. Counseling should never be forced nor stressful. Therefore, we work with you to figure out the best path moving forward.

While one hour a week is helpful, what if I need my counselor outside of sessions?

You and your counselor can decide what your treatment will look like. For the most part, our counselors try to be there for you outside of sessions for small or minor concerns. For most calls outside of 10 minutes or more, there may be a charge but this will be discussed in your contract. For small check-ins or if you require some quick support, we are here to help you outside of your sessions!

Does Peaks Counseling accept insurance?

At this time, most of our clinician’s do accept insurance. Some counselors, however, are only out of pocket for the time being. Please take a look at the “Meet Our Counselors” page to see a list of who accepts insurance and who does not. For those paying out of pocket, payment is due at the time of your appointment. Peaks Counseling can provide you with a statement to submit to your insurance company upon request. Depending on your “out of network” coverage you may or may not be reimbursed, the amount and decision is solely up to your insurance company.

Where is Peaks Counseling located?

Peaks Counseling is located 20 minutes outside of Denver just off the I-25 corridor in the Denver Tech Center. Our address is located in Centennial, Colorado which also borders Greenwood Village. We are also conveniently located near Cherry Creek, Littleton, and Douglas County school districts.

What if I need to re-schedule or cancel an appointment?

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, no problem! We understand that life happens. Our only request is that you provide at least 24-hour notice, otherwise your session will be billed at the full rate.
