We offer in-person sessions at our South Denver office. For couples who can’t make it to us in person, we offer secure telehealth sessions from anywhere in the state. Same therapists. Same approach. Same commitment to your relationship.
Telehealth makes sense when geography or schedule makes the drive impractical. If you are in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, the western slope, or anywhere else in the state, you can work with us without the commute. It also works for couples where one partner travels frequently or where coordinating two schedules and a drive is the thing that keeps therapy from happening.
We are not going to pretend video is identical to being in the same room. But the work translates well — we can access the same emotions, follow the same patterns, and help you get to the same place.
You log into a secure video session from home or any private space. You need a computer or tablet with a camera, a microphone, and a reasonable internet connection.
If you are doing a couples session, arrange to be in the same room as each other if at all possible. Set up the camera far enough back that we can see both of you — ideally your whole bodies, not just your faces — but not so far that we cannot hear you or that you feel distant. Body language matters in this work, and we need to be able to read it.
Make sure you have real privacy. If you have kids, make sure someone is watching them so you are not worried about being overheard. If you are doing an individual session, make sure nobody — including your partner — can hear you. That matters more than you might think.
The Colorado Center for Couples and Families is a specialist couples practice in south Denver. Jonathan Zalesne, LPC is the founder and supervising therapist — an ICEEFT Certified Therapist and Supervisor. Whether you are working with us in person or over video, you are getting the same team, the same model, and the same depth of experience.
Disconnection, conflict, the patterns that keep pulling you apart. We work with the cycle underneath the fights, not just the fights themselves.
Affairs, betrayal, rebuilding. We do not shy away from the hardest conversations, and we have done this work successfully over video with couples across the state.
Our clinical approach. EFT does not teach communication skills and hope they stick. It addresses why you are not communicating in the first place.
Call us. You can talk as long as you want, ask whatever you need to ask — no strings attached.
In our experience, yes. The emotional work, the breakthroughs, the difficult conversations — they all happen the same way over video. The format matters less than the work itself.
We strongly prefer it. Couples therapy works best when you are reacting to each other in real time — the small expressions, the body language, the moments one of you wants to look away. That is the material we work with. Being together also keeps both of you present and focused. If being in the same room is not possible, we can still conduct the session from separate locations — but we encourage you to try to be together.
It happens. If we lose connection, we reconnect. If the connection is poor enough that it is getting in the way, we will reschedule. If the problem is on our end, there is no charge. If it is on your end, the session fee still applies — it is your responsibility to make sure your technology works before the session.
We are a private-pay practice. Most insurance does not cover couples therapy, and couples therapy is all we do — taking insurance was never a practical fit. We can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan covers it.
