What Foundations Counseling is

Foundations Counseling is a group therapy practice, not a directory, a matching app, or a telehealth platform. Every counselor is licensed in Colorado and employed directly by the practice, which means the practice sets its own hiring standards, supervision, and clinical review rather than renting space to independent contractors.

The practice operates on a private-pay model by choice. Because no insurer is involved, no diagnosis is required to open a file, no treatment plan is submitted for external approval, session length and frequency are set clinically rather than by a benefits policy, and your mental health record is not shared with a payer. For clients who want to use out-of-network benefits, Foundations provides the documentation needed to file for reimbursement. See Private Pay vs Insurance Therapy for a full cost and privacy comparison.

The Counselor Match Guarantee

The working relationship with a counselor is the strongest predictor of whether therapy helps, so Foundations does not charge clients for getting the match wrong the first time. If your first counselor is not the right fit, you can meet with another counselor on the team at no cost, as many times as it takes to find the right one. How the Counselor Match Guarantee works .
