Clear, Transparent Information About Therapy Costs & Insurance

Understanding the practical details of therapy — like fees, insurance, and scheduling — can help you feel more grounded in the process. My goal is to make this as simple and transparent as possible.

I’m David Rothman, LPC, and I provide online therapy for adults and couples throughout Colorado. Below you’ll find information about rates, insurance options, and common questions about working together.

Rates

• Individual Therapy (50 minutes): $145 per session

• Couples Therapy (50–60 minutes): $145 per session

Payment is collected at the time of service unless we are billing your insurance.

Insurance Options

I accept many major insurance plans through the following platforms:

✔ SonderMind

✔ Headway

✔ Rula

These platforms help handle eligibility checks, billing, and claims — making it easier for you to use your benefits.

Depending on your plan, you may have:

• a copay

• coinsurance

• or a deductible to meet

Your exact cost per session will depend on your insurance coverage.

If I Don’t Take Your Insurance Directly

If your plan isn’t covered through these platforms — or if you prefer not to use insurance — you can pay my $145 private-pay rate.

Some clients also choose to use their out-of-network benefits, and I can provide a superbill (insurance-ready receipt) for you to submit, if appropriate.

You may want to ask your insurance company:

• Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

• What percentage of the session fee is reimbursed?

• Do I need prior authorization?

• Is telehealth covered?

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected therapy costs. You’ll receive information about fees before starting therapy, and you’re welcome to ask questions at any time.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are typically billed at the full session rate (or may be subject to your platform’s policy, if using insurance).

I understand that unexpected events happen — if there is an emergency, we’ll talk through it together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are sessions?

Most therapy sessions are 50 minutes. Longer or extended sessions may be available when helpful.

Do you offer only online therapy?

Yes. I provide secure telehealth therapy for adults and couples anywhere in Colorado.

Many people appreciate the privacy, flexibility, and convenience of online sessions.

Is online therapy effective?

Yes. Research shows that online therapy is effective for most people and most concerns. If at any point we determine another form of care would better meet your needs, I will help you explore referrals.

Who do you work with?

I work with:

• adults 18+

• individuals and couples

• people from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences

Many clients come to therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, ADHD, OCD, grief, identity concerns, and major life transitions.

What is your therapeutic approach?

My work is attachment-based, emotionally focused, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic.

In simple terms:

We slow things down, notice what’s happening inside, and make sense of patterns — at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

How long will I be in therapy?

That depends on your goals. Some people come for short-term support. Others choose longer-term work focused on deeper healing and self-understanding. We’ll talk openly about what feels right for you.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Therapy is confidential with a few legal exceptions, such as serious risk of harm or abuse. I’ll walk you through confidentiality before we begin.

What if I’m in crisis or need immediate support?

I don’t provide emergency or crisis services. If you’re in immediate danger or feel unsafe, please contact:

• 911, or

• Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988

You deserve support right now.
