Therapy in Denver, Covered by Your Cigna Plan
New Vision Therapy Center's Denver office sits near the Berkeley and Sunnyside neighborhoods, with clinicians credentialed in-network with Cigna. We handle the benefits verification up front, so your first appointment can actually be about you, not a stack of forms.
What Your Cigna Plan Covers Here
The basics before you book
- Sessions billed as standard outpatient behavioral health
- Claims processed through Cigna's behavioral network
- Typically a flat copay once your deductible is met
- Telehealth reimbursed the same as in-office visits
Care That's Easy to Access, Backed by Your Cigna Benefit
Most people put off starting therapy because the insurance piece feels like a maze before you even get to talk to anyone. Our Denver team covers a wide enough range of specialties that whatever's brought you here, there's a good chance we have a clinician who's worked with it before.
Our 48th Avenue office is directly contracted with Cigna, which means most members can use their benefit here without a separate referral process — usually landing on a predictable, flat copay. Meet in the office off Tennyson Street, or connect over video from anywhere in Colorado.
Cigna Plans We're In-Network With in Denver
We work with Cigna's major commercial, marketplace, and consumer-directed plans across the Denver metro. Not sure which one you have? Send over your member ID and we'll confirm it before you schedule anything.
Cigna Open Access Plus
The go-to plan design for a lot of Denver-area employers. No referral is needed for mental health care, and your cost usually comes down to a flat copay per session.
Cigna PPO
A standard preferred-provider plan — you can book with any in-network therapist directly, including us, with no gatekeeper step first.
Cigna LocalPlus
A narrower network used by some Colorado employer groups. We verify your specific tier ahead of time so your rate is never a surprise.
Cigna HMO
A lower-cost plan built around a primary care provider. Some of these require a PCP referral before starting therapy — we check for that during intake.
Cigna HealthSavings HDHP
A high-deductible plan paired with a savings account. Early visits are typically paid out of pocket toward your deductible, and your HSA funds can cover it.
Cigna Individual & Family
Plans purchased through Connect for Health Colorado or the federal exchange. Mental health parity rules mean therapy is covered the same as any other medical visit.
Therapy Specialties Available in Denver
Our clinicians draw on a range of research-backed approaches, matched to what's actually going on for you — all billed through your Cigna behavioral health benefit the same way.
Anxiety
Practical tools for a racing mind, tight chest, and the constant sense of bracing for the next thing.
Depression
Support finding your way back to energy, motivation, and things that used to feel worth doing.
Trauma & EMDR
EMDR-trained clinicians who help hard memories become easier to carry over time.
CBT & DBT
Structured, skills-based work aimed at thought patterns, mood swings, and day-to-day coping.
Couples Counseling
Evidence-based approaches to rebuild trust, communication, and connection with a partner.
New Parent Support
A space to talk through the exhaustion, identity shift, and pressure that come with a new baby.
Career Counseling
Room to work through burnout, a career pivot, or a job that's stopped fitting who you are.
Life Transitions
Guidance through relocation, a new job, or any big shift that's thrown your routine off balance.
Grief & Loss
Space to process loss at your own pace, without pressure to be "further along" by now.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
Therapists experienced with LGBTQIA+ clients, so you're not stuck starting from scratch each session.

Cigna & Denver Therapy, Explained
Does Cigna actually cover therapy for members in Colorado?
Yes, for the great majority of plans. Cigna treats outpatient mental health visits as a standard medical benefit, so they're processed the same way a doctor's visit would be. We confirm your specific plan details before your first appointment so there's no guessing.
Is New Vision Therapy Center in-network, or just willing to bill Cigna?
We're fully credentialed and in-network with Cigna through our Denver office on West 48th Avenue. That matters — it's the difference between paying the lower in-network rate and getting billed at the out-of-network reimbursement rate instead.
What can your Denver therapists actually help with?
Our team's combined experience covers anxiety, depression, trauma and EMDR, CBT and DBT, couples counseling, new-parent support, career-related stress, life transitions, grief, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and medication management. Let us know what's going on and we'll point you toward the right therapist for it.
What's my out-of-pocket cost going to look like?
Most Cigna members in Denver end up somewhere in the $0–$50 flat copay range once any deductible is satisfied. If you're on a high-deductible or HSA plan, expect to pay more upfront for the first few sessions before coinsurance takes over. We'll go through the exact numbers during your free benefits check.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
If you're on Open Access Plus, PPO, or a similar plan, no referral is needed and prior authorization usually isn't required for routine therapy. A smaller number of HMO plans do call for a PCP referral first — we'll let you know during intake if that applies to your plan.
Does Cigna route mental health claims through a separate vendor?
Most Cigna commercial and marketplace plans process behavioral health claims directly through Cigna. A subset of employer-sponsored plans do use a separate behavioral health vendor, so we specifically check for that when we verify your benefits.
Can I do sessions by video instead of driving in?
Yes — we offer secure telehealth for clients anywhere in Colorado, and Cigna is required to reimburse video sessions at the same rate as in-person visits. Plenty of our Denver clients prefer it, especially with I-70 traffic on the wrong day.
