Telehealth therapy for Grand Junction, Colorado

Our practice, Rocky Mountain Thrive, runs entirely by video, and we do not have a physical location in Grand Junction. You will not need to drive across the Grand Valley or wait in a lobby: you log in from home, from the car in a parking lot, or from any private room.

Mesa County is in Region 1 of Health First Colorado, and we are in-network with Rocky Mountain Health Plans, the organization that manages Medicaid behavioral health there. If you have Aetna, Cigna or UnitedHealthcare/Optum through work, those are options too.

Health First Colorado in Mesa County

Mesa County has been in Region 1 for years, and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing lists Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) as the Region 1 RAE after the July 2025 redesign. A RAE is the regional organization that manages behavioral health benefits such as therapy.

As an in-network provider with RMHP, we can see Health First Colorado members for telehealth therapy. Outpatient therapy is generally available without a charge to members, no referral is required, and we verify eligibility before the first appointment. Because the RAE is based on where a member's primary care provider is, your card or the Health First Colorado app is the surest way to confirm it. Read more on our Rocky Mountain Health Plans page.

Using a commercial plan from a Grand Junction employer

Many people in the Grand Valley carry coverage through a hospital, school district, energy company or small business. We accept Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare/Optum and verify the exact plan before you commit to a time.

Prefer to skip insurance, or covered by something else? The Fees & Insurance page walks through self-pay and out-of-network superbills.

Western Slope distance, solved by video

Grand Junction is the largest city in western Colorado, yet the Front Range is a long mountain drive away. Online therapy means your options are not limited to whoever has an opening on your side of the Rockies. People in Fruita, Palisade, Clifton and Loma can log in the same way city residents do.

Colorado Mesa University students and working adults alike can book around classes and shifts. Popular starting points are life transitions therapy, anxiety therapy and couples therapy, and you can review the clinician team to find a fit.

Community resources and crisis support in Mesa County

If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988. Rocky Mountain Thrive is not an emergency service.

Health Solutions West, formerly Mind Springs Health, is the regional community mental health center. It is a good idea to know your crisis plan ahead of time. The Mesa County Department of Human Services can help with benefits questions. Outpatient talk therapy with us is a complement to those services, not a substitute for hospital-level care.

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.
