Behavior support for autism families in Denver
Denver's front-range boom has outrun its pediatric behavioral services: families from Aurora to Castle Rock describe long waits for evaluations and therapy slots, with rural families beyond the metro waiting longest of all. Virtual parent-led consulting reaches every one of those homes the same way.
Sessions run online in Mountain Time. Plans are built around Colorado family life, altitude-fueled outdoor energy in summer, snow-day cabin fever in winter, and the school-transition flashpoints in between.

Funding & support in Colorado
Jess's consulting is private-pay and does not bill insurance directly. Some families use HSA/FSA funds or flexible program dollars where their plan's rules allow, so check with your administrator. The free discovery call costs nothing and will help you map your options.
- Health First Colorado (Medicaid)
Colorado's Medicaid program covers medically necessary pediatric behavioral therapies for eligible children under EPSDT, and state rules require many private plans to cover autism treatment; check your plan's rules.
- HCBS waivers
Colorado's home- and community-based waivers (including the Children's HCBS and CES waivers) can fund supports for eligible children with significant needs; enrollment takes persistence but pays off.
Serving the wider Denver area
Families anywhere in the region, from Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial, Parker to Castle Rock, and everywhere in between, can work with Jess online. If you can get online, you are close enough.
Denver families ask
We live outside the metro, past Castle Rock. Are we too remote?
Not at all; remote families are some of the best-served by this model. Everything is delivered over video, so a family an hour from the nearest provider gets exactly the same support as a family in Wash Park.
Our child does great outdoors but falls apart inside. What does that mean?
It usually means movement and sensory input are doing heavy regulatory work, which is genuinely useful information. A good plan builds that regulation into indoor life too, so your child's calm does not depend on the weather forecast.
What Families Say
From the beginning, Jess was kind, thoughtful, and patient, and she quickly developed a strong rapport with our daughter. … We would highly recommend Jess to other families looking for a compassionate and effective therapist.
