Do You Feel...

What brings people to counseling rarely arrives as one clear moment. More often it builds quietly: a feeling that lingers, a pattern that keeps repeating, a sense that something is off. If any of these sound familiar, reaching out to Foundations is a simple first step.

Social Withdrawal

Avoiding friends, family, or activities you once loved? Counseling can help you uncover the reasons behind this behavior and reconnect with your passions.

Changes in Sleeping or Eating Patterns

Significant changes in sleep habits or eating patterns can be a sign of mental health concerns. Counselors help you explore these changes and suggest interventions if needed.

Difficulty Concentrating

Struggling to focus on tasks at work or at home can be a symptom of various mental health issues. Counseling can help you identify the causes and provide strategies to improve concentration.

Low Self-Esteem

Individuals facing self-doubt and low self-confidence can benefit from art therapy by creating artworks that help them see their value and capabilities, thus boosting their self-esteem.

Avoidance of Social Situations

A tendency to avoid social gatherings or activities due to fears of embarrassment, criticism, or rejection, significantly impacting one’s social life and relationships.

Extreme Mood Swings

Experiencing dramatic shifts from high energy levels and euphoria to deep sadness or hopelessness could indicate bipolar disorder, where therapy helps develop strategies to balance these mood swings.

Persistent Negative Thoughts

Continual, often irrational negative thinking that can include pessimism, catastrophizing, or black-and-white thinking.

Excessive Worry

An overwhelming level of concern about various aspects of life, often to the point where it interferes with daily functioning.

Irritability or Short Temper

A reduced tolerance for frustration, leading to anger or irritability in situations that typically wouldn't cause such a reaction.

Answers to Common Questions

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative or harmful thought patterns and behaviors. It's used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress.

How does CBT differ from other forms of therapy?

Unlike some other therapies, CBT is more structured, focuses on the present, and is problem-solving oriented. It empowers individuals with strategies to modify their thinking and behavior patterns to effectively manage mental health issues.

Is CBT only for mental health issues like anxiety and depression?

While CBT is widely used for treating anxiety and depression, it's also effective for other issues like stress management, coping with life changes, relationship problems, and certain behavioral disorders.

What are the costs associated with counseling or therapy sessions at Foundations?

At Foundations, each counseling or therapy session is $200. Your first consultation is always free, and you are able to meet with as many counselors as you need until you find the perfect match.

Does Foundations accept Insurance?

No. Foundations is private pay and does not bill insurance companies. If your plan has out of network benefits, we can give you documentation to submit for possible reimbursement, so check with your plan first. Paying privately keeps your counseling out of insurance records, avoids a required diagnosis, and lets you choose your counselor and how long your sessions last.

What if I need to reschedule my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

Yes. Foundations offers early morning, daytime, evening and Saturday appointments, and online sessions can add flexibility. Call 970.227.2770 or book online, tell us what times work for you, and we will match you with a counselor whose schedule fits.

What can I expect in my first CBT session?

In your first session, the therapist will typically discuss your issues and goals, explain how CBT works, and start to identify thought patterns or behaviors to address.

Do I need a referral from a doctor to start CBT?

No. You do not need a referral to start CBT at Foundations. You reach out directly, share what is going on, and we match you with a counselor who uses CBT. Your first meeting with that counselor is a free consultation, and first appointments are usually available within 48 hours. If your doctor suggested therapy, you can mention that when you reach out.

Can I practice CBT techniques on my own?

While self-help CBT resources are available, it's best to work with a trained therapist initially. They can guide you in learning and applying CBT techniques effectively.

How long will I need to be in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

The duration varies for everyone. Some people find relief in 8-10 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term treatment. It depends on individual goals and progress. According to the American Psychological Association 50% of people in therapy feel a sense of recovery and healing after 15-20 sessions.

Does CBT involve homework?

Usually, yes, but it is practical rather than school like. Between sessions you might track a worry and the thought behind it, try a small step you have been avoiding, or practice a new response to a trigger. Practice is how the skills stick. Your counselor will set tasks with you, keep them manageable, and adjust them if they are not helping.
