Young Adult Therapy & Counseling in Denver, Colorado

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. 

This stretch of life is genuinely one of the most psychological complex, yet least supported. We’ve found that most therapists treat young adults as an afterthought because they know about adolescence and established adulthood, but not the in-between. For us, we build our practice around young adults, on purpose.

Developmentally, the work of figuring out who you are, what you value, and where you belong doesn’t wrap up in a pretty little bow at 18, 21, or even 25. We know this because Erik Erickson mapped out two overlapping stages that unfold through your thirties: 1) Identity vs. Role Confusion and 2) Intimacy vs. Isolation. The first stage asks who you are. The second stage asks how you connect to others without losing yourself in the process. Young adulthood navigates both at the same time, all while also managing careers, relationships, finances, and a world actively working against them.

We specialize in young adults because we’re genuinely good at it. And more importantly, it is one of the most significant parts of one’s life. 

Yes, 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.

No, we don’t. And we want to be transparent with you about why.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are some of the most commonly recommended modalities in mainstream mental health care, and there are really important contexts where they can be helpful. But for us here at Interfaith Bridge Counseling, we believe it’s just as important to examine where these modalities fall short, particularly when applied to marginalized and oppressed populations, neurodivergent people, and young people who are still developing. When used without that critical lens, these approaches can cause real harm, like reinforcing able-bodied assumptions, pathologizing normal responses to oppressive systems, and asking people to mange and reframe their inner experience over truly understanding it. 

Our therapeutic approach is grounded in a liberation-based, trauma-informed framework, one that starts with the premise that you are not the problem. 

There is a time and place for CBT, DBT, and EMDR, absolutely. But that place isn’t here with us. If you’ve found those approaches helpful in the past and are looking for a therapist who uses them, let us know and we’ll happily point you in the right direction of some of our trusted referrals and community partners.

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.
