Denver Affordable Counseling Lakewood, CO 80226

"I think there should be more explanation with the type of service they offer here. More honesty. They arent necessarily bad but if you dont know anything about therapy then you'll have a very bad experience here if you dont know what's coming. Heres an honest description. Most of the therapists who work here are interning and dont get paid well for what their doing. They will usually have a BA in the relevant field but are usually still in school for a bigger one. That means it can really be a hit or miss with your therapist but that's not to bad. What is the real horrible thing is that you will only have a certain amount of sessions with any given therapist before they just disappear without warning. Due to legal reasons they will not tell you why. So you will move from therapist to therapist. This can be quite bad for anyone who takes a long time to build trust or doesnt know how to do therapy. Since you are constantly starting over from the beginning with a new therapist every 2 or 3 months. That was my experience. It wasnt necessarily bad but I have a few choice words about their honesty and the way they go about it. Also if you have a mental illness that requires types of therapy beyond talk therapy then I suggest you go to a charity organization and get a certified therapist with more sessions."

"Forcing active counseling relationships to abruptly terminate with extremely little notice? During a pandemic? In this economy? When they have the choice to not do this to people? Oh, but giving the option to join a waitlist of indeterminate length makes up for it. Sure sounds like they really care about the mental health of their clients, right? What a joke."

"I can’t recommend this place enough! I was skeptical going to a counselor that does income based but I’m so glad I did seeing as I don’t have the budget to do $100 therapy sessions every week. I am so thankful for Karly and look forward to our weekly sessions. She is very professional and helpful and is very in touch on how to level with you. I don’t feel judged or scared of opening up which is super important to me."

"I had a chance to come in on Saturday and speak with Brandie. I'm grateful that this place exists and the people who run the operation are saints. Everyone could use some emotional support from time to time."

"An extremely convenient location in the Belmar area in Lakewood. Good parking, easy access to public transportation. This is a very nice facility, very comfortable, clean, safe."
