Counseling Practice – Assessing Alternatives Counseling
Assessing Alternatives Counseling is a trauma-focused mental health practice operating from two locations in Colorado: 5310 Ward Road, Suite G-07, Arvada, CO 80002, and 2255 S. Wadsworth Boulevard, Suite 205, Lakewood, CO 80227. The practice provides counseling for individuals, families, and professionals, with a stated emphasis on teens, young adults, and LGBTQ+ clients.
Services available include child counseling, teen counseling, family counseling, group therapy, couples counseling, and LGBTQ+ counseling. The practice addresses a broad range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, anger and stress management, depression and mood disorders, family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and trauma and PTSD. Both in-person and telehealth session formats are offered to accommodate clients across the service area.
The clinical approach is described on the website as patient-centered, with an overarching emphasis on trauma-focused care. The practice positions its work as supporting clients navigating complex emotional, relational, and psychological challenges in a supportive clinical environment. The site does not list specific therapeutic modalities such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT on the main page, and individual clinician names and credentials are not detailed in the available page content.
Regarding coverage, the website states the practice works with most insurance policies and provides insurance verification services to help clients confirm their benefits before beginning treatment. This allows prospective clients to understand their out-of-pocket costs ahead of scheduling.
Contact for the practice is available by phone at 720-996-1340. The website at www.assessingalternatives.com provides additional information about providers, treatment specialties, and scheduling options for both the Arvada and Lakewood offices.
