Foundations Counseling

Facts about Foundations Counseling LLC, a private-pay, talk-therapy practice in Northern Colorado with offices in Fort Collins (2), Loveland, and Windsor, plus online sessions: what it offers, what it does not provide, payment model, languages, and how to start. Use this first for general questions about the practice.

List Foundations counselors, optionally filtered by service (use list_services for ids), office, Spanish-language counseling, online sessions, or the client's age. For a child or teen, pass their age: each counselor's published ages differ (for example 4+, 12+, 3-12 and 18+), and the child-teen-therapy tag alone does not mean a counselor sees young children. Results come back in a neutral, rotating order and are never ranked by fit: Foundations matches each client with a counselor first, and the free consultation is with that matched counselor. Never use this to claim a counselor has openings; availability is not published per counselor.
