Therapy Fees


 

What does a therapy session cost?

I offer first-time visitors a complimentary 50-minute individual or couples therapy consultation. This allows individuals to make sure I am the right fit for their preferred therapy style. Please contact the office for further questions. 

 

Will my insurance pay for my sessions?

I do not accept insurance, including Medicaid, or belong to any insurance provider panels; however, some plans may reimburse you for my services. I am happy to prepare a monthly or weekly statement for you to submit to your insurance provider.

 

Cancellation Policy

I request that you notify me at least 72-hours in advance if you are not able to attend a scheduled therapy session. I charge the full session fee if you fail to give me adequate notice unless I am able to fill the appointment time. However, I am rarely able to fill a canceled time unless I know at least 72-hours in advance.

 

Payment Options

I accept checks, cash, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, HSA cards and Visa.

Dr. Charles Mac Kentnor

Psychologist located in Denver, CO

It is not easy to open up and share your experiences and struggles with another person. Developing trust and a sense of comfort and safety is a process. I respect that you will share what you deem necessary to our work together in a manner and within a timeframe that is comfortable for you. My focus is on meeting and respecting your individual needs, providing a space that is compassionate and open, where you do not feel judged, where you feel deeply understood, and where you can experiment with new ways of being and relating.

I seek to help you feel comfortable in providing me with feedback regarding what you find helpful and/or unhelpful, your perceptions of me and our interactions, and in communicating your therapeutic needs. I view such feedback as essential to building trust, increasing your sense of empowerment, helping you to feel involved and respected in the therapy process, and ensuring that our work together is both effective and tailored to address your unique concerns. I see adults and adolescents in individual therapy to address issues ranging from trauma, complex trauma/personality disorders, depression, and anxiety, to trouble with relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

I believe that each individual’s unique life experiences influence one's view of him or herself and the issues that have lead to their seeking therapy. Although many people come to see me to address specific concerns, I have found that these issues are often related to more general feeling that that their world has gotten smaller, of feeling limited, an experience of a lack of vitality or wholeness, of feeling shut down or overwhelmed by fears, of constantly confronting barriers that interfere with their ability to live the best life that they know on some level they are capable of living. I view therapy as a collaborative process where I work together with my clients to identify these barriers, increase self-awareness, and gain insight into experiences and issues that have created these barriers.

We develop an approach that fits with them as individuals and addresses their unique life circumstances. However, I do not see therapy as simply developing skills or tools to manage their symptoms and address these barriers. I believe the outcome of a successful therapy involves helping clients arrive at a place where they truly feel more alive, energetic, and whole. Where they experience themselves and the world around them in a different, more open, creative and positive way; where they feel comfortable in their own skin, and the world is a place where opportunity and new experiences await.


Supervision & Teaching

I supervise masters and doctoral level students interested in continuing their training and education in psychodynamic, relational, attachment, cognitive, behavioral, and humanistic/ existential models of therapy. I also provide services to unlicensed mental health professionals who require a licensed psychologist to supervise their private practice and provide individual case and ongoing consultation services for other licensed mental health professionals. I offer training in psychodynamic, relational, attachment, cognitive, behavioral, and humanistic/existential approaches to therapy. Also, I teach the doctoral level Psychodynamic Psychotherapy seminar at the University of Denver’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology. Along with my teaching at Univeristy of Denver, I'm also involved with the continued education program and psychoanalysis research at The Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis
