Home About Regis in the Community Center for Counseling and Family Therapy Regis Center for Counseling and Family Therapy The Regis Center for Counseling and Family Therapy offers in-person low to no-cost counseling services for members of our surrounding community and teletherapy to anyone in Colorado. As a client at the Center for Counseling and Family Therapy, you will develop an authentic and growth-oriented relationship with your therapist, while growing your own base of life skills derived from the latest research and best practices offered in the field. Counseling sessions are led by master's-level therapists-in-training who meet with you once per week for an average of 14 weeks per semester. You will have a consistent counselor over those 14 weeks, and your appointment will be at the same time each week. We do ask that those receiving therapy agree to be video recorded, as this provides real-time feedback for the therapist to evaluate their skills along with their supervisor. Emerging therapists are eager to learn, and your commitment helps increase the scope and quality of future mental health services as these soon-to-be graduates enter the workforce. Current DCFT students and undergraduate students may contact the Office of Counseling and Personal Development for services. Schedule an Appointment The Regis Center for Counseling and Family Therapy does not provide crisis counseling or suicide prevention counseling. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact the Colorado Crisis Line (844-493-8255 or text “TALK” to 38255), go to your closest walk-in crisis center or dial 911. Services Provided Individual and Couples Therapy Individual or couples counseling is an opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in life. Counselors can help you and/or your partner deal with many topics in life such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage and relationship challenges, parenting problems, school difficulties, career changes etc. Marriage or couples counseling can help resolve conflicts, heal wounds and re-establish progress towards common goals. Family Therapy Family therapy is often sought due to a life change or stress negatively affecting one or all areas of family closeness, family structure or communication style. This mode of counseling can take a variety of forms. Sometimes it is best to see an entire family together for several sessions. Common issues addressed in family therapy are concerns around parenting, sibling conflict, loss of family members, new members entering the family or dealing with change affecting the family system. Child Play Therapy Licensed mental health professionals therapeutically use play to help their clients, most often children ages three to 12 years, to better express themselves and resolve their problems. Many mental health agencies, schools, hospitals and private practitioners have utilized play therapy as a primary intervention or as supportive therapy for behavioral problems such as anger management, grief and loss, divorce, abandonment and crisis and trauma. NEW! Technology Assistance Program Our new Technology Assistance Program loans out iPads and mobile WiFi hotspots to Thornton residents without access to the technology required for teletherapy appointments. Technology Assistance Program Low to No-Cost Counseling and Therapy The maximum fee for our services is set at $30, and a sliding scale is made available to clients unable to afford the $30 fee. We take pride in being able to provide mental health services to our community, and no client is refused service because of inability to pay. Couples or families seeking counseling services are charged as one client. Clients who bring multiple family members to individual counseling sessions will be given a special family rate. Due to our low-to-no cost model, we do not accept any insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. Fees are collected at the beginning of the session. Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check or credit card. Our Therapists Under direct supervised care, confidential services are provided by master's-level graduate students in the final clinical phase of their counseling and family therapy education. The Center is staffed by 16 licensed clinical supervisors – these highly qualified professionals review cases and take professional responsibility for diagnoses and treatment. Supervisors are involved in the therapy process and may be required to discuss ethical and legal complexities. Meet the Supervisors Our Facilities Regis University’s Division of Counseling and Family Therapy provides progressive, experiential learning in a state-of-the art counseling center. Our counseling training rooms are equipped with two way mirrors and non-intrusive audio and video components that foster an interactive learning model with "real time" feedback and review. Our therapists use both visual and audio tools to enhance their clinical skills on their path to becoming outstanding counselors and family clinicians. Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic all of our clients and counselors are required to wear masks while on campus. We offer teletherapy appointments as well, if you do not have the technology necessary for teletherapy appointments our Technology Assistance Program may be able to help. The Therapy Process 1: Intake Once we receive your appointment request, a member of our staff will reach out to begin the intake process. During intake our goal is to get a better understanding of you and your mental health goals, and to match you with a therapist. From there, we will schedule your first appointment. For your first session, please plan to arrive approximately 10 minutes early to fill out compliance and personal history paperwork (or fill paperwork out ahead of time). 2: Meet Your Therapist Therapy will begin with an introduction to each other, followed by review of our policies. Your therapist will take the time to understand your unique needs and preferred outcomes. Treatment planning is a collaborative process where you co-create the path towards healing that would be most beneficial to you. All sessions are conducted by a Master's-level counselor or family therapist in training who is actively supervised by a licensed mental health professional. 3: Continue to Grow Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes, is held on the same day and time each week for approximately 14 weeks. All counselors and family therapists follow models of treatment proven to be effective by current research in the field of psychotherapy. Sessions begin with a review of your progress as well as time to share personal feedback generated from previous sessions. Our hope is that you will come away from therapy with the tools and confidence you need to face life's challenges and enhance your everyday well-being.
