Starting Therapy
We are so happy you are here
Before meeting with you, we like to start out with a brief phone consultation. During this phone consultation, we will talk about things like:
-Your current motivation(s) for therapy
-Previous experience with therapy
-What you hope to gain
-Any questions you have about the process and therapy approach
Once you submit the form below, someone from our team will reach out to you within 48 hours. *Be sure to check you spam folder as our emails land there.
Check your insurance.
We currently have clinicians that accept Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Oscar, Oxford, & United Health Care.
While we don’t every take insurance, you may opt to use Out-of-Network Benefits to cover at least a portion of your therapy.
Not sure if you have Out-of-Network Benefits?
Call your insurance provider for more information OR fill out the form with your insurance information and we’ll be in touch shortly.
Out of Network Insurance
Out-of-network insurance benefits are a way for you to get some reimbursement from your insurance company when you see a therapist who isn’t in their network. Finding the right therapist can be tough, and we know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you're working with. If you have out-of-network benefits and choose to work with one of PORT's fully licensed therapists, you may be able to get some money back for your therapy sessions. It’s easier than it sounds—you just pay for your sessions upfront, and we’ll provide you with a receipt (called a "superbill") to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. This way, you can prioritize finding the best fit for your needs while still using your insurance benefits.
To make things even easier for you, we've partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines getting reimbursed for your therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
Mentaya is perfect if you:
• Have out-of-network benefits
• Feel overwhelmed by Superbills and insurance
• Have submitted Superbills but failed to get any reimbursement
• Simply want to skip the hassle of paperwork!
Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for Mentaya
2. Our practice will enter your sessions into the platform.
3. Mentaya submits the claim and handles any insurance follow-up.
4. You get reimbursed by insurance! Mentaya charges a 5% fee per claim which our practice will cover. This includes handling any paperwork required, dealing with denials, and calling insurance companies.
Other Options for Payment
It is important to us that finances do not present a barrier to one receiving therapy. This is why we accept insurance, offer sliding scale service, facilitate groups, etc.
If you are needing your services at a reduced rate, one option is to sign up for a membership via Open Path. We have a few therapists that accept sliding scale based on the agreement we have with Open Path for their members.
Further, if you would like to work with one of our therapists but it is out of your budget, the Loveland Foundation has a therapy fund that provides vouchers you can use to cover the cost of your services.

How Therapy at PORT Works
-
Inquire
Use our online contact form and let us know which of our Therapists you would like to work with. We will promptly connect you to your preferred provider for your brief free phone consultation. We want to go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable from the start.
-
Get to the Root
Your therapy will likely start out with having sessions either weekly or biweekly. With your Therapist, you will get a better understanding of your presenting concerns and how they came about. Your therapist will also help you assess your level of coping and teach you additional strategies.
-
Do the Work
The bulk of your experience will be in doing the work, both in & out of sessions. You will work through implementing techniques to improve your mood and engagement in relationships in session, while completing tasks assigned by your therapist to further your progress.
-
Have Better Relationships
This is the point where you get to be #RelationshipGoals. You are having fewer therapy sessions and experiencing emotional healing from past relationship trauma. You are in a place where you are feeling more competent to handle whatever comes next.
