Therapist

I am accepting new clients.

We all need someone to listen to, understand, and support us, especially during times of uncertainty and transition. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel comfortable to be yourself and share your fears, hopes, and struggles. As each client is a unique individual, I feel the process of counseling should be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and have the innate ability to heal.

Danielle Bennett

Danielle Bennett

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


I provide psychiatric medication management services that are tailored specifically to you and your needs. My practice revolves around working towards creating solutions that work for your life. Whether you are trying medication for the first time, looking to change medications, or wanting to taper off completely, we will go at your pace and process issues together as they arise. I take a full-person approach and will recommend treatments beyond medication. Medication alone is rarely a full solution so those that are ready to put in the effort to get to the core of the issues will work best with me

It can be uncomfortable to decide to seek out help and to share your worries with someone. I strive to create an environment that is nonjudgemental, confidential, and solution focused. I will integrate therapy into our sessions to cultivate insight, appreciation, and understanding of your past and current circumstances.

Controlled substances are used minimally and conservatively in my practice as many of these are not long term solutions. I work with adults of all races, ethnicities, and LGBTQIA2S+. The best way to get connected with me is to visit our website hhmhc.com and submit your information on the "Appointment Request" form.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Aurora

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Aurora, CO starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, gender identity, coming out, relationship dynamics, or the cumulative stress of navigating a world that isn't always affirming. A provider with specific experience in LGBTQIA+ concerns can make a meaningful difference — look for licensed therapists or psychiatrists who list affirming care as a specialty and describe their approach in their bio.

Aurora is part of the broader Denver metro area, which means you may have access to providers who offer both in-person sessions locally and virtual appointments across Colorado. When comparing providers, consider their credentials, areas of focus, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which can help you gauge comfort before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Aurora can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Using your benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to access consistent, affirming care at a price that works for you.
