Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to our most commonly asked questions!
Where are The Solution Space offices located?
We are located at the following address:
1373 Forest Park Circle
Suite 201 & 202
Lafayette, CO 80026
We’re in the shopping center on the southeast corner of 95th and Arapaho. It’s in the third building on the left with the Medicare office. Parking is free and convenient.
Do you work with people outside of Colorado?
Yes! Dr. Hellman also has a California license and a PSYPACT E-Passport, which allows her to work with people in these states. If your state appears predominantly blue on the map, we may be able to offer telehealth services via Zoom. However, The Solution Space does not provide services to individuals outside the United States due to varying inter-national regulations regarding psychotherapy.
What is a free initial consultation or phone call?
This is an opportunity for you to let me know why you are interested in my help and ask any preliminary questions about my services. Although a phone call is typically unnecessary, it may help you determine whether one of our therapists is a good fit for your needs.
Insurance?
We are happy to submit forms to your insurance company, which can be a hassle for you, yet is easy for us. As long as I have your insurance information, we can send claims weekly.
Insurance companies have specific and limited ideas of what mental health care should be, and they expect treatment to take place in 50-minute sessions. Often insurance companies reimburse you for a portion of fees. You will need to contact your insurance provider for details regarding their out-of-network coverage.
Is your office handicap accessible?
Unfortunately not. We are on the second floor, and the building does not have an elevator. We offer online, secure therapy sessions for anyone unable to get to our offices in person.
With whom do you work?
I work with men, women, and children of all ages interested in finding efficient solutions to their problematic feelings and behaviors. My work is strategic and short term, aimed at providing lasting, effective relief.
I work one-on-one with teenagers who experience individual issues, such as anxiety, panic attacks, or traumatic experiences. If their problems have a parental component, I refer them to family therapy.
How much does therapy cost?
TBD
How many sessions will I need?
For some problems, like panic attacks or specific, isolated traumatic experiences (e.g., a car accident, difficult birth, rape, or home invasion), one meeting usually provides the relief needed. For more general issues like anxiety or relationship difficulties, my clients find satisfying results in an average of three to six sessions.
How do I get started?
We look forward to working with you! You can schedule a free 20-minute consultation and/or your initial session here or by clicking any of the Consultation buttons above or below.
The free initial consultation is offered in case you have more questions or to figure out if I’m a good fit. If you’re pretty certain you want to work with me, go ahead and schedule your first therapy appointment instead.
How long are your meetings?
A typical therapy session is 60 to 90 minutes.
With children, I often do one hour sessions.
An ADHD assessment is 90 minutes.
What should I do to prepare for our meeting?
Nothing is needed to do beforehand. Even if your goals are not fully clear to you, we can work to clarify them during the first hour of our meeting.
What is your general approach to therapy?
Unlike traditional psychotherapy, which often creates long-term, time-intensive relationships with a therapist, our work is designed to help you feel better and function more optimally in short order. We approach every meeting as though it is our only shot at eliminating the problem for you. By thinking that way, we stay focused, engaged, and actively problem-solving.
While one session may be all that you need, we commit to working with you until you no longer struggle with your problematic feelings and behavior. Our clients are frequently amazed by how quickly and painlessly we can meet their goals.
