Telehealth therapy for Cañon City, Colorado

Because Rocky Mountain Thrive works only by video, there is no physical location in Cañon City. Appointments run on a secure link, so you can meet with your therapist without driving to Pueblo or Colorado Springs.

Fremont County is part of Region 1 of Health First Colorado, and we are in-network with Rocky Mountain Health Plans. Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare/Optum are accepted for commercial coverage.

Fremont County and the 2025 Medicaid change

Fremont County was reassigned in July 2025. According to the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, the county moved from Health Colorado, Inc. to Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), which runs Region 1. Members may have received letters about the shift, and some still carry paperwork with the earlier plan name.

We are in-network with RMHP, so Cañon City members can use Health First Colorado for telehealth therapy. Outpatient therapy is generally covered at no cost, no referral is needed, and we verify your eligibility first. Because your RAE follows your primary care provider, send your card with the intake form if you are unsure. See our Rocky Mountain Health Plans page for more.

Commercial coverage and self-pay

If you carry Aetna, Cigna or UnitedHealthcare/Optum, we confirm benefits and tell you your expected cost before the first visit.

Not insured, or using a plan outside our network? The Fees & Insurance page describes private pay and out-of-network superbills.

Between Pueblo and Colorado Springs

Fremont County sits along the Arkansas River, with Pueblo and Colorado Springs both a drive away. For people who work rotating schedules or care for family at home, video therapy cuts out that travel. Fitting a session around a shift matters more than where a therapist's building happens to be.

Starting points include depression therapy, PTSD and trauma therapy and couples therapy. Our team also sees teens ages 13 to 17, and you can see who is accepting clients.

How to begin from Cañon City

Start by filling out the online intake and attaching your card. Within a day or two we respond, check your benefits and propose a time. Finish the intake documents about two days before the first appointment so the visit itself can focus on you.

A few practical notes help. Test your camera and microphone beforehand, find a room where others cannot overhear, and keep your phone nearby in case the video link needs a restart. We hold a card on file for every client, yet Medicaid members are not billed for covered sessions.

Local resources and 988

In a crisis, or if you are thinking about suicide, call or text 988. We are not an emergency service.

Solvista Health is the community mental health center serving Fremont County, and the Fremont County Department of Human Services can help with benefits. Many clients keep a local support alongside online therapy.

Important Financial Information

Please review our financial policies carefully before your first appointment

Verification of Benefits Process

We require all insurance information (both primary and secondary) to be uploaded as part of your appointment request. We verify benefits before confirming scheduling to ensure we accurately understand your coverage and can match you with the best-fit therapist for your needs.

Credit Card Required on File

We do require a credit card on file for all clients (even if you have Medicaid). The requirement is in case your insurance lapses we have a means to charge for the session. No charges are otherwise allowed for Medicaid. For commercial plans, we will charge the card on file if you have a co-pay.

Cancellation Policy

Appointments canceled within 24 hours or missed without notice will incur the full session fee (we do not charge a fee for Medicaid clients). More than two late cancellations or no-shows within a six-month period may result in termination of care, as consistent attendance is essential for providing ethical and medically necessary treatment.
