Susan Wismer
Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and Colorado, and I have made my home in both places in recent years. Nearly eight years of experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who range in age from five to over 90 years old. Early on I expected to find a preferred population; however, it turns out that I just like working with humans. Commonalities and strengths are always evident to me, even in the face of struggle and adversity. Seeking health and wellness is admirable. Mental health diagnoses contain lists of symptoms that are common to the human experience, and as such, I believe are always addressable. Belief in human worth and capacity for growth are fundamental. As your therapist I will consistently regard you with respect and engagement. I believe that warmth and humor are vital in therapy as in any relationship. I look forward to embarking upon this journey with you!
June Santon
Hi, Welcome to my "intro!" That you're reading this most likely means you feel your life could be better in some way, and you're looking for some help in making that happen. Way to go! That takes some courage and initiative to take a positive step-- not just "settle." My name is June. I'm a licensed professional counselor and a certified addiction counselor, based in Colorado. I also have experience and expertise working with issues of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, important transitions in life, and relationship difficulties. Sometimes a person doesn't have a specific problem such as one of those, but just feels that life could be better in some way. She may be seeking better self-awareness. He may believe he has a purpose in life that he hasn't yet identified, and would like some help in getting insight into that. She may have come to believe "This job isn't right for me," but now would like some guidance in figuring out "So what is?" Also, this is a very different and troubling time for all of us. You may have lost your job due to a cover-related shutdown. You may be worried about getting sick. Or you may be worried about someone you love who has become ill. You may feel anxious about what will happen --next week, or next month, or next year. I can help with all of that. If something from this profile sounds like what you'd like, I'd love to work with you.
Vickie Lucero
Hello, my name is Vickie. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2011 and just this year got my Licensed Addiction Counselor credential. However, I have been working in the mental health field in a variety of roles and settings since 1996. A few of those settings include the Department of Human Services, Community Mental Health, inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment centers and non-profit health clinic work. I describe my approach as eclectic. I do not practice one single modality but rather a variety based on the needs of the individual. I believe that every individual’s concerns are unique to them and their experience and therefore believe it is important to tailor the therapeutic process to their unique circumstances. I find that components of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior are Therapy are often most effective and tend to use those evidenced based approaches the most; however, I am educated in a variety of therapeutic approaches and will use whatever is the best fit for you. I have significant experience working with a variety of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, parenting issues, gender dysphoria, personality disorders and substance use. Thank you for taking the time to read about me, I look forward to having the opportunity to learn about you and assist you reaching your goals! Warm Regards, Vickie

Julie Zhu
I believe that everyone deserves to feel connected, to be understood and feel worthy of abundance and love. Who we are has purpose-it has value. Opportunities for growth are all around us and it is up to us harness the role of the hero in our own personal stories. I offer a warm space where you can contemplate what is meaningful to you and to process through past narratives/traumas and core beliefs that hinder your ability to create a life that you love. I have had incredible opportunities working with adults, children, teens and the elderly in various settings as a clinician. I utilize a strength-based, mindfulness and solution-focused approach to therapy. I am also versed in the framework of astrology as a tool for self-understanding for those that are interested in this modality. We all possess the ability to improve the quality of relationships that we have with the world and most importantly the relationship that we have with our selves. I would love to connect with you if you are looking for a heart-centered therapist to support you on your journey developing strength, self-worth, and resilience.
Christine Sibilla
Are you someone who struggles with self image concerns and wants to have a positive relationship with their body? Have you found yourself struggling with symptoms of worry, anxiety or depression? Do you want to start becoming active, both for physical and mental health, but don’t know where to start? I specialize in helping those with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, poor body image, healthy eating, and anxieties surrounding self-esteem and healthy self image. Taking a step forward to improve overall mental and physical well-being can be overwhelming. Our inner worlds can feel disconnected as our bodies often influence what we do and how we feel. Certain physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. As a provisionally licensed counselor and NASM certified personal trainer, I aim to increase quality of life by adding physical activity in session, alongside mental health counseling, to help you feel connected again. Doing this alone can be confusing and stressful, but by working together, we will realize your strength, and move to complete your picture of health.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Michael Henry
I am licensed in California and Colorado with 16 years of professional work experience.

Silvia Flores Pasillas
I am a Mexican-American first generation licensed social worker in Colorado with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Marcia Farlow
I am licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado (since 2011), and received my M.A. in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. Although I have experience providing therapy around a variety of issues, my areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, & transitions/life changes. I'm also passionate about working with clients around compassion fatigue, an issue many of us in service and caretaking-related fields experience at some point. It is my strong belief that we, as humans, were designed to connect, to be seen and known fully, but isolation and brokenness are often the reality. Augustine wrote about "the unobserved life," referring to the cruciality of self-reflection. I am here to facilitate a more observed life for the purpose of deeper self-awareness, insight into our own strengths and weaknesses, a greater sense of purpose and direction, as well as cultivating empathy and understanding for others. Pain and sorrow are often the means by which we grow. Rather than offering a band aid or "feel better fast" approach, which, I believe, is antithetical to the deep soul work we actually need, I will walk alongside you in your pain, whatever that pain may look like. Research shows that the modality of a therapist matters much less in terms of treatment outcomes than the quality of relationship between therapist and client. As such, I implement an eclectic approach, often using aspects of several different models including CBT, DBT, and existential therapy, but believe the most poignant and lasting change occurs as a result of the genuine human connection found in the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working with you!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some commonly asked questions can be found below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
How do I know if I should get a therapist?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Colorado can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy safe?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
