Finding Your Therapist Match: Why Waitlists Don’t Have to Wait (Especially in Denver!)

Ah, Denver. Vibrant, beautiful, and…infamously difficult to find a therapist in. The city’s booming population often collides with a limited pool of mental health professionals, leaving many in desperate need of support facing months (sometimes even years!) on waitlists.

But fear not, weary Denverites! While finding a therapist can feel like scaling Mount Everest in flip flops, it doesn’t have to involve months of frustration. Here at My Denver Therapy, we understand the urgency of accessing mental health care, which is why we’re dedicated to helping you get started in weeks, not months.

So, why do waitlists exist in the first place?

The reasons are complex, but they often boil down to:

  • High demand: Denver’s rapid growth simply hasn’t been matched by an equal expansion of mental health resources, especially qualified, licensed therapists.
  • Limited capacity: Therapists, despite their dedication, only have so many hours in a day. Because of the nature of the job, a full-time therapist generally can see about 20-30 clients per week.
  • Complexities of finding the right fit: Not every therapist is a good match for every client. Finding the right personality, expertise, and approach can take time. That’s why we have a team of therapists to help our clients quickly find a good match.

But at My Denver Therapy, here’s how we’re breaking down these barriers:

  • We have a large, diverse team of therapists: We’ve carefully curated a team of experienced professionals with a wide range of specialties and therapeutic approaches. This means you’re more likely to find the perfect fit in one of our three offices in Denver, Lone Tree, or Greenwood Village, reducing the need to look elsewhere.
  • We prioritize timely connections: We understand that waiting months for help can be detrimental to your well-being. We actively manage our inbox and match you with a therapist as soon as possible, usually getting you connected with them the same day by email, text, or phone.
  • We offer flexible options: We know life isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer in-person, virtual, and even group therapy options to accommodate your unique needs and preferences. We also have therapists who work hours that work for busy families and professionals.

Don’t settle for months of waiting when you can get the support you deserve in weeks. Contact our therapists at My Denver Therapy today and take the first step towards prioritizing your mental health.

We’re here to help you navigate the maze of mental healthcare and find the therapist who can guide you towards a brighter future.
