The Arete Center

The Arete Center does not contract with any insurance companies. All visits are out of network. Upon request, the practice provides superbills that patients can submit directly to their insurance carrier for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on each patient's individual policy. The practice does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.

Initial intake appointments run 90 minutes. This gives clinicians time to conduct a thorough evaluation and get to know each patient before developing a care plan. Follow-up appointment lengths may vary based on the clinician and the type of service.

Yes, The Arete Center offers telehealth appointments. Several clinicians also provide telepsychology services to clients in PSYPACT participating states, which expands access beyond Colorado. Patients can schedule and access telehealth sessions through the TherapyPortal patient portal.

Prospective patients can reach out through the contact form on the practice's website. A team member will respond within two business days to answer questions and schedule an initial intake appointment. The intake form helps match each patient to the clinician best suited to their needs.
