No, our therapy services are not faith-based. All of our therapy is grounded in a psychological framework known as Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling (MBTC). MBTC honors you as a whole person: your inner life, your body, and the world you exist in. From this foundation, we draw on a range of evidence-based relational modalities, including ACT, Somatic Therapy, aspects of Synergetic Play Therapy, Geek Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy & Parts Work to form a liberation-based, trauma-informed lens.

The transpersonal part of our approach can raise some eyebrows. Choosing to include your spiritual and cultural perspectives in the therapeutic work isn’t the same as practicing religion, instead it means that we don’t ask you to leave that part of yourself at the door. We welcome clients of all beliefs and no beliefs. Atheist, Agnostic, Spiritual-But-Not-Religious, and everything in-between.

If you are religious, we do offer multi faith and interfaith support for clients, including Muslim, Jewish, Bahá’í, Unitarian Universalist, Wiccan, and more. We also work with clients navigating religious trauma.

Our name reflects our founder’s background and the bring we try to build between honoring all parts of a person’s life with the multicultural practices that actually make up the psychology field. Our name was never meant to signal a religious practice. And if our name gave you pause, honestly? We’re glad you asked.

Interfaith Bridge Counseling is also LGBTQIA+ owned, trained and competent. 

In Colorado, young people 12 years old and older can consent to outpatient therapy on their own, without parental permission, if the therapist determines they are voluntarily seeking services and that therapy is clinically appropriate. For clients under 12, a parent or guardian's consent is required.

This law exists specifically to make it easier for young people to access mental health support before things reach a crisis point, particularly when they may not feel safe involving a parent or caregiver. If your child is between 10 and 12, we'll work through the consent process with you directly.

Sessions are confidential, and that confidentiality is what makes them safe enough to be useful. Your teen or young adult child needs to know they can be honest without it getting back to you. That said, there are clear legal exceptions. If your teen child (18 and under) communicates a serious and imminent risk of harm to themselves or someone else, their therapist is required to notify you and, where appropriate, other parties. Outside of those situations, what's said in session stays in session. We'll be transparent with you about exactly where those lines are before their first appointment.

This is one of the most common things parents and caregivers bring to us. Therapy works best when a young person has some degree of buy-in to the therapeutic process, but buy-in doesn't have to mean enthusiasm.

Sometimes it just means willing to show up once. Our therapists are experienced at building real connection with teens and young adults who arrive skeptical, guarded, or outright resistant. One honest conversation with the right person can shift a lot. If you're not sure how to approach the conversation with your specific teen or young adult, bring that to your free consult call. We can help you think it through.

Yes, to both. We accept all RAEs of Health First Colorado (Medicaid) including CHP+, allowing us to be one of the few youth and young adult therapy practices in Colorado that does. If you have Medicaid, your sessions are typically fully covered.

For those without Medicaid, we offer a pay-what-you-can sliding scale between $60-$140 per session based on your actual financial need. No verification paperwork, no strings attached. We also accept HSA and FSA card directly, and we’re partners with the Second Wind Fund.

Not sure what you qualify for? Bring it up on your free 30 minute consultation call and we’ll figure it out together before you commit to anything.

Outside of Medicaid, we do not accept commercial and private insurance.

Both, though most of our clients end up doing telehealth, even the ones who start out certain they want in-person.

Select therapists on our team offer in-person sessions in the Denver metro area, while all of our therapists offer telehealth across all of Colorado. If in-person feels important to your family right now, ask about availability on your consultation call and we’ll let you know which therapists are available to you.

What's worth knowing: virtual therapy isn't a compromise or a leftover option from the pandemic to us. Our therapists trained specifically in how to make virtual sessions more connected and more effective, and for a lot of young people, being in their own space makes it easier to open up, not harder. When your teen or young adult is in their room, we see their actual environment. We notice whether the space feels calm or chaotic, who walks in, whether they have a door that closes. A therapist in a traditional office only ever sees what your child brings into the room. Virtually, we get to see the room itself.

In-person is available. Telehealth is what we've built around. Most families find they prefer virtual once they've experienced it.

We do this often and we do it well. If your teen or young adult child has a psychiatrist or prescriber, we'll coordinate with their care team directly. If they're stepping down from an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or transitioning from a higher level of care, we understand that gap and know how to bridge it.

We're experienced at picking up where other providers leave off without losing momentum, and helping with communication across care teams so nothing falls through the cracks.

We're going to be honest with you in a way most practices aren't: meaningful therapy for teens and young adults typically takes 18-24 months. That's roughly 72 sessions, about 72 hours, and the equivalent of 3 full days of your child's life.

Sometimes it's more, depending on what they're working through. We know that's longer than you might have expected. It's also why the work we do actually holds.

You can read more about how we think about the therapy timeline on our teen therapy page and our young adult therapy page.

Schedule a free 30 minute consultation with our team. It’s a low-stakes conversation to get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether we’re the right fit.

From there, we’ll match you with a therapist whose background, approach, and availability align with what you need. If it feels right, you book your first session. There’s no commitment required to have that first call. The hardest part is usually just picking up the phone.
