Yes — We Take Insurance for Therapy & Psychiatry in Colorado

We get asked this all the time: “Do you take insurance?” “Is EMDR covered?” “Will my plan pay for psychiatric services?” And the answer is yes.

At Elephant in the Room Trauma Counseling, we proudly accept insurance for both psychotherapy and psychiatric services, as long as your plan includes mental health coverage. We believe therapy should be accessible, especially for those navigating complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and nervous system dysregulation. You shouldn’t have to fight through red tape just to get the care you need.

What’s Covered by Insurance? If your plan includes outpatient mental health care (most do), then your sessions with us are covered. That includes:

✔️ EMDR therapy
✔️ Somatic trauma therapy
✔️ Parts work
✔️ Cognitive and mindfulness-based interventions
✔️ Psychiatric evaluations and medication management
✔️ Ongoing coordination between your therapist and psychiatric provider

Yes — even nontraditional approaches like somatic therapy and EMDR are typically covered under standard CPT codes used for trauma-focused therapy. We make sure your claims are coded correctly so your sessions qualify under your mental health benefits.
