Frequently Asked Questions

At Through the Woods Mental Health Services we offer individual and couples therapy with a focus on helping people navigate transitional life phases. These phases often include identity shifts, moving to a new state, becoming a parent, experiencing an increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stressors.
At Through the Woods Mental Health Services we emphasize connection with yourself and the people in your life. We believe that true healing happens in connection with others. We emphasize the importance of self exploration, growth, and honesty. Through the use of relational therapy we explore each person’s needs and how they can get what they are looking for.

I don’t accept insurance for couples therapy because insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis for one partner and documentation that treatment is medically necessary. This also means the non-diagnosed partner’s information becomes part of the clinical record submitted to the diagnosed partner’s insurance, which can create HIPAA and privacy concerns. Private pay allows us to focus on the relationship—not diagnoses or insurance disclosures.

Life transition therapy supports people who are navigating major shifts—planned or unplanned—that change how they see themselves or their lives. This includes moves, career changes, new parenthood, relationship changes, identity exploration, returning to work, and any season where the “old normal” no longer fits.
Life transition therapy is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply unsure of who they are becoming. It helps you process the emotional impact of change, regain clarity and confidence, and move forward with a stronger sense of self. -
Career changes often come with questions like: Am I making the right decision? Who am I without this job? What do I want next? Identity shifts—whether related to parenthood, relocation, age, relationships, or personal growth—can feel disorienting and isolating.
Therapy gives you a grounded space to explore what’s changing, understand what you truly want, and navigate the fears, doubts, and possibilities that come with stepping into a new version of yourself. Together, we look at your values, strengths, goals, and inner patterns so you can move forward with clarity and confidence instead of overwhelm. -
Relocation therapy supports individuals and families through the emotional stages of moving—whether across the country or across the world. A move impacts identity, relationships, routines, confidence, and community in a very real way.
Therapy helps you understand and normalize the stages of relocation (excitement, shock, overwhelm, homesickness, adjustment, and integration), build new support systems, manage stress, and feel grounded in your new environment. It’s especially helpful for newcomers to Colorado, military families, expats, remote workers, and anyone adjusting to a major lifestyle shift.
Relocation therapy helps you feel less alone, more empowered, and more capable of building a life that feels like home again. -
Absolutely. In fact, some of the best outcomes happen when couples come in before things feel unmanageable. Couples therapy isn’t only for crisis—it’s also for strengthening communication, understanding patterns, improving intimacy, navigating transitions, or just feeling more connected.
Many couples come in to check in on the relationship during life changes (new baby, move, career shifts, parenting changes, etc.), to proactively build healthy habits, or simply to maintain closeness. You don’t need to be struggling to benefit. -
Individual therapy focuses on you—your thoughts, emotions, patterns, history, and goals. The relationship is part of the conversation, but you’re the client.
Couples therapy focuses on the relationship itself. Instead of asking “Who’s right?”, we look at communication patterns, emotional needs, conflict cycles, and the dynamics between you. You and your partner are the clients together, and the work is about strengthening the bond, building understanding, and creating new ways of relating—especially during big life transitions.
