Private & Confidential Mental Health Services

We recognize the need for mental health services is high. Unfortunately, due to high demand and staff shortages, the counseling center is currently on a waitlist for on-going counseling.  We anticipate being able to accept new clients at the beginning of June.  Please call our front desk at 303/315-7270 if you would like to be contacted once we resume our on-going counseling services.

Please note that we are still providing crisis walk-in services. If you are experiencing an urgent mental health situation, call 911 or the 47/7 Colorado Crisis Service line at 1-844-493-8255.
