Fees & FAQs

ERP helps you gradually face anxiety-triggering situations while resisting the urge to engage in avoidance or compulsions, breaking the fear cycle over time. 

No. We work at your pace. ERP is collaborative, starting with mild exposures and building confidence before tackling more challenging situations. 

While it’s most known for OCD, ERP is also highly effective for phobias, panic, health anxiety, and other avoidance-based struggles. 

CBT helps you identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then teaches you practical ways to shift them for better emotional outcomes. 

Many people start to see progress within a few weeks. Length of treatment depends on your goals, pace, and the severity of symptoms.

Not at all. CBT is about realistic thinking and behavior change, not sugarcoating things, but helping you respond more effectively.

SPACE is parent-based. Instead of working directly with the child, we coach parents to reduce accommodations and respond to anxiety in new ways. 

Not at all. SPACE empowers you with tools, it’s about changing patterns, not assigning blame. 

SPACE can support families with children as young as 4 and is especially helpful for elementary and middle school ages. 

EMDR uses guided eye movements or taps to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, so they feel less emotionally overwhelming.

No. EMDR doesn’t require you to go into deep detail. The focus is on how your body and brain respond, not re-telling the story. 

For most people, yes. We’ll assess whether it’s the right fit for you during your consultation and adjust the approach as needed.

DBT is especially helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive patterns like self-harm or impulsivity.

You’ll learn mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, all designed to help you respond to stress more skillfully. 

Not necessarily. At Vivid Psychology Group, we integrate DBT skills into individual therapy if a full group program isn’t the right fit for you. 

ACT helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings while living in alignment with your personal values, even when anxiety shows up. 

Not at all. It’s about changing your relationship with difficult emotions, so they don’t control your actions. 

CBT focuses on changing thoughts. ACT focuses more on accepting them while committing to actions that reflect your values.

VR therapy uses immersive simulations (like flying, public speaking, or contamination triggers) to help you safely face and work through specific fears. 

No. It can also help with social anxiety, panic, PTSD, and even some OCD themes by offering realistic exposures in a controlled environment.

Never. A clinician is with you the whole time, guiding the process, adjusting the scenarios, and helping you use your coping tools in real-time. 

We want you to get better in meaningful and sustainable ways (and we want you to graduate out of therapy!). Treatment length is highly dependent on a number of factors, including treatment goals, personal history, and client motivation. Sometimes, highly motivated clients notice significant improvements within 2-3 sessions.

Most commonly, clients notice significant improvements within 8-12 treatment sessions. Clients with more complex backgrounds or symptom presentations may require more time in treatment before seeing significant change (6-12 months+).

Weekly or bi-monthly (every other week) is generally recommended to start. After clients understand how the treatment works and start feeling better, they often shift to less frequent sessions (such as monthly or as-needed).

We understand that treatment can be a significant financial cost, especially when paying out of pocket. And, we strongly believe that investing in yourself with the right kind of treatment is well worth it. Our costs reflect a few important values of our practice:

1) The highest levels of education and training— our clinicians have received an extensive amount of training, including 4+ years of formal post-graduate training at APA accredited universities, over 5,000 supervised clinical hours, and hundreds of hours of ongoing training in specialized treatment approaches.

2) Efficient and effective treatment— we don’t want you to stay in treatment longer than you need to. We want you to get better and meet your treatment goals as quickly as possible. Unlike some traditional therapy models, our evidence-based, specialized approaches are designed to help you see improvement in weeks or months (rather than years) of treatment.

3) Top-notch service from energized providers— provider burnout is notorious in the mental health field, with low insurance reimbursement rates, high caseload demands, and lack of days off or health benefits for most providers. Our service model allows our providers to carry reasonable caseloads, spend more time on training and consultations, and engage in each case with vitality and attention.

4) Provide excellent training and low-cost treatment options— our model allows us time and energy to train student clinicians in advanced anxiety treatment approaches, and provide this high quality treatment for a low fee. In supervising and training our student externs, we strive to help address mental health treatment gaps by creating more highly competent providers in specialty treatment areas.

Once you schedule your initial appointment, you will receive an email with detailed instructions (including office location, waiting room protocol, and links to access paperwork). You will be asked to fill out a few forms electronically prior to your first session.

After that, leave the rest to us- your provider will guide all questions in the first session to gather relevant background info, establish treatment goals, and answer any of your questions.

We currently accept Colorado Access Medicaid plans (Region 3, Region 5, CHP+, and DHCP) via our student extern training program. Please visit the following page to learn more: Medicaid Anxiety & OCD Treatment Program

We accept Colorado Access Medicaid plans, which includes the following: Region 3, Region 5, CHP+ (Child Health Plan Plus), and DHCP (Denver Health Choice Plus)

Colorado Access is the RAE associated with the following Colorado counties: Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert.

In short, yes! Research suggests that telehealth treatment can be just as effective as in-person treatment for many presenting problems. Sometimes, certain issues are better treated in-person, and your provider will tell you if that may be the case.

We can work with you via telehealth if you live in any of the PSYPACT states (Listed here.)

We do not prescribe medications. We will work with your medication prescriber as needed if medications adjustments may assist with your treatment.
