Services Offered
Mental Health & Counseling Services We provide client-focused, goal-driven and evidence-based treatment designed to achieve immediate results and long-term recovery. We offer a full complement of support services to assist with transition and readjustment both individually and through a comprehensive family care model. AspenPointe offers several types of counseling Colorado Springs services for your needs. Some of these services include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, as well as many specialized therapies.
Medication Services AspenPointe has the unique ability to support our clients by offering a mental health therapist in conjunction with a psychiatrist and/or nurse prescriber, if medications are needed.
Medication Management Medication Management is when a psychiatrist or psychiatric prescriber focuses their supports on monitoring the progress and side effects of a medication that has been prescribed to address a psychiatric illness.
Psychiatric Services The process starts with a clinical prescreening where the need for medical psychiatric services is identified. A referral is then made to the Psychiatric team for an integrated admission with both the medical prescriber and the clinician. Reasons for referrals may include but are not limited to : differential diagnosing, clients are already on psychiatric medications, clients are at risk for hospitalization, clients are not improving with therapy only, concerns related to suicidal and homicidal thinking, thought process problems and mental status concerns.
Pediatrics Times of special changes like divorce, a death in the family, or a move can be stressful for children. During times like that, children may have a range of feelings that are very confusing to them.
We offer the full continuum of care including: Intensive Out-Patient Therapy (several meetings a week) Out- Patient Therapy (one or two meetings a week) Play Therapy Family Therapy Easy access to crisis and higher level care

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from Colorado's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Colorado's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
