What Therapy Services does Medicaid cover?
Individual psychotherapy sessions & EMDR therapy sessions are likely completely covered at zero cost to you.
Individual Therapy for Adults
Session Duration: up to 60-minutes
We use a variety of approaches to help people learn how to transform the way you respond to daily stressors in a mindful and regulated way. We'll identify your triggers, name your emotions and negative thoughts. We’ll then work to determine which skills and tools might work best for you to overcome your barriers to wellness and move forward on your path to recovery.
EMDR Therapy
Session Duration: 90 Minutes
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a physiologically based therapy that helps a person see disturbing material in a new and less disturbing way. It is a highly researched treatment that has been shown to reduce symptoms associated with PTSD and is most researched in its effectiveness with issues related to trauma. It has been demonstrated to be effective with a number off issues including trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, depression, performance anxiety, complicated grief, chronic pain and substance abuse.
EMDR has been shown to have a number of benefits. Some of these include:
The reduction or elimination of flashbacks, nightmares, or other intrusive symptoms
A sense that the past is truly over
Reduced reactivity to triggers or memories
Reduced anxiety and/or depression
A reduction or elimination of symptoms of PTSD
Overall emotional wellbeing and happiness in life
Individual Therapy for Kids, Teens, & Young Adults
Session Duration: up to 60-minutes
Free Yourself consists of a diverse group of mental health professionals who help foster a safe and nurturing space for kids, teens, and young adults to express themselves and explore their emotions.
Our clinicians incorporate a wide array of therapeutic techniques, including play therapy, to help children and adolescent clients identify triggers, name emotions, and determine which skills and tools will work best to overcome barriers to wellness and nurture strength and resilience.
Understanding Medicaid Coverage & Limitations
We work hard to make mental health care accessible, especially for those using Colorado Medicaid. Here’s what you need to know about Medicaid appointment limitations and coverage to help you get the most from your benefits.
-
Medicaid allows up to two therapy sessions per week, but not on the same day. You may:
See the same therapist twice in a week, on separate days
See multiple therapists, depending on your needs (e.g., individual therapy & EMDR therapy with different providers)
This flexibility allows you to build a care plan that truly supports your unique goals and healing process.
-
Therapy services are typically fully covered by Medicaid:
60-Minute New Intake Session
60-Minute Individual Therapy Sessions
90-Minute EMDR Therapy Sessions
Important: Medicaid coverage can change. While we do our best to verify your coverage monthly, you are ultimately responsible for confirming that your Medicaid plan is active and eligible before each session. We highly recommend calling your insurance provider directly, as online portals can be outdated or may not reflect real-time details.
-
If your Medicaid plan ends, lapses, or changes, or does not include behavioral health coverage, your sessions will not be covered. In this case, you will be responsible for payment at your clinician’s self-pay rate, which ranges from $125–$175 per 60-minute session. Please view individual clinician rates here.
