Denver Therapists Who Take Aetna
New Vision Therapy Center brings together licensed therapists across anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and more — all in-network with Aetna at our northwest Denver office. We sort out the coverage details ahead of time, so your sessions can go straight to the work.
Therapy Through Aetna
What in-network care usually involves
- Sessions billed as routine outpatient psychotherapy
- Behavioral health handled through Aetna's network
- Most members owe a flat session copay
- Video sessions reimbursed like an in-person visit
Denver Therapy, Covered by Your Aetna Plan
Whatever brought you to therapy — a relationship that's lost its footing, anxiety that won't quiet down, or grief you're still finding your way through — the right fit matters as much as the right coverage. Our Denver team works across a broad set of specialties, so we can match you with someone whose focus actually lines up with what you're carrying.
Our office on West 48th Avenue is in-network with Aetna, and for most Colorado members that means your behavioral health benefit runs directly through Aetna's own network. In practice, that turns therapy into a predictable copay instead of an unpredictable bill. See your therapist in person in northwest Denver, or connect by secure video from anywhere in Colorado.
The Aetna Plans We Take in Denver
We're in-network with Aetna's leading commercial, marketplace, and HSA-paired plans across the Denver metro. If your exact plan isn't listed here, send your member ID and we'll verify it directly with Aetna.
Aetna Choice POS II
An open-access plan carried by many Colorado employers. No referral needed to see a behavioral health provider, and therapy is typically covered at a set copay.
Aetna Open Access PPO
Wide preferred-provider coverage with both in- and out-of-network benefits. No referral is required to begin therapy with us.
Aexcel Performance Network
A designated-provider network some Colorado employer plans use. We confirm your plan's exact network tier before your first session so there are no cost surprises.
Aetna HMO
A cost-conscious plan tied to a primary care provider. Behavioral health sometimes needs a PCP referral first — we'll check that before you begin.
Aetna HealthFund HSA
High-deductible coverage paired with a health savings account. Visits count toward your deductible first, then coinsurance applies — HSA funds can cover your portion.
Aetna Individual & Family
ACA plans purchased through Connect for Health Colorado. Parity protections apply, so therapy is a covered behavioral health service just like any other.
Specialties & Modalities We Offer in Denver
Our Denver clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, matched to what you're actually navigating — all covered the same way under your Aetna behavioral health benefit.
Anxiety
Grounded, practical tools for racing thoughts and a nervous system stuck on high alert.
Depression
A steady, judgment-free space for low motivation, disconnection, and finding your footing again.
Trauma & EMDR
EMDRIA-trained clinicians helping the brain finish processing memories that still feel unresolved.
CBT & DBT
Structured, skills-based work on unhelpful thought patterns and emotional regulation.
Couples & Relationships
Gottman-informed work on rebuilding trust, communication, and connection with a partner.
Marriage Therapy
Strengthening emotional intimacy and communication for couples working through a hard stretch.
Career Counseling
Working through burnout, a difficult workplace, or a career crossroads with more direction.
Life Transitions
Support through a move, a new role, new parenthood, or any major shift in your life.
Grief & Loss
A steady space to move through loss at the pace that actually fits you.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
Identity-affirming therapy from clinicians experienced with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Medication Management
Coordinated psychiatric support alongside therapy when medication is part of your care plan.

Denver Therapy & Aetna Questions
Does Aetna cover therapy in Colorado?
In nearly every case, yes. Outpatient therapy is billed as routine behavioral health care, so Aetna processes it the same way as any other covered medical visit. We check your specific plan ahead of your first session, so you know your cost before you start.
Are your Denver therapists in-network with Aetna?
Yes. New Vision Therapy Center is contracted in-network with Aetna at our northwest Denver office, which keeps your visits at the in-network copay or coinsurance rate instead of the higher out-of-network cost.
What specialties do your Denver therapists cover?
Our team works across anxiety, depression, trauma and EMDR, CBT and DBT, couples and marriage therapy, career counseling, life transitions, grief and loss, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and medication management. We match you with a therapist based on what you're actually working through.
How much will therapy cost with my Aetna plan?
For most members it comes down to a flat per-session copay, often in the $0 to $50 range after any deductible is met. If you're on a high-deductible or HSA plan, your first several sessions go toward the deductible before coinsurance applies. We complete a free benefit check up front so your exact cost is settled before you start.
Will I need a referral or prior authorization from Aetna?
Most Choice POS II, Open Access PPO, and other open-access Aetna plans let you start care without a referral, and routine outpatient therapy seldom requires prior authorization. Some HMO-style plans occasionally need a referral from your primary care provider — we'll verify exactly what your plan calls for before your first appointment.
Does Aetna use a separate company to manage behavioral health benefits?
For most Aetna commercial and marketplace plans, behavioral health runs directly through Aetna's own network rather than a separate administrator. A smaller number of employer groups route mental health benefits through a third-party partner instead — we check this for you as part of your benefit verification, so nothing gets missed.
Is therapy available by video, and does Aetna cover it?
Yes to both. We deliver sessions over a secure telehealth platform to clients located anywhere in Colorado, and mental health parity rules require Aetna to cover video sessions at the same rate as in-person care. Many people find that working from a private, familiar setting suits them especially well.
