Sessions are available in person at our Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo offices, or virtually anywhere in Colorado.

Optum Counselors in Colorado

If you're covered by Optum and searching for a therapist in Colorado, Overcomers Counseling is proud to be an in-network provider. Optum manages behavioral health benefits for a wide range of employer and individual health plans, which means many members already have mental health coverage built into their plan without realizing how accessible it is. Our licensed clinicians work with Optum members across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, as well as through statewide online counseling, to provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a warm, faith-friendly (but never exclusionary) environment.

How Your Optum Coverage Works for Therapy

Optum behavioral health benefits vary depending on your specific employer or individual plan, so the first step is always verifying your coverage. Our intake team checks your Optum benefits before your first appointment, confirming details like your copay, deductible status, and whether a referral is required. This means you walk into your first session already knowing what to expect financially, instead of guessing. We handle the insurance verification so you can focus on finding the right therapist, not on decoding your benefits card.

Specialties & Services for Optum Members

Our providers support a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, stress management, ADHD, and relationship challenges. We offer both individual counseling and couples or family sessions, along with specialized approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy depending on your goals. Some clients want a faith-integrated approach that draws on Christian values alongside clinical best practices; others prefer a fully secular approach. Either way, you choose the style of care that fits you, and we help match you with a provider who aligns with your preferences and your Optum plan.

Colorado Locations Accepting Optum

Overcomers Counseling has offices throughout Colorado Springs, along with locations in Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, giving Optum members multiple in-person options across the Front Range and beyond. If you'd rather meet from home, or if you live outside our office footprint, our licensed therapists also provide secure online counseling to Optum members anywhere in Colorado. This flexibility means you're not limited to a single office location — you can choose whichever format fits your schedule and comfort level, and switch between in-person and virtual sessions as your needs change over time.

Getting Started as an In-Network Optum Client

Getting matched with an in-network Optum therapist starts with a simple conversation. Reach out to our care coordination team, share a bit about what you're looking for — whether that's help with anxiety, a season of grief, or support navigating a relationship — and we'll recommend providers whose specialties and approach fit your situation. From there, we confirm your Optum benefits, schedule your first appointment, and walk you through what to expect. Mental health care shouldn't feel complicated, and with Optum coverage already in place, taking the first step is often easier than people expect. Contact Overcomers Counseling today to find your in-network Optum therapist in Colorado.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
