Online therapy across Colorado

Specialty care for eating disorders, anxiety, and women’s mental health, over secure video — for adults anywhere in Colorado, from the Front Range to the Western Slope. Mandy built her practice in Colorado before relocating to Florida, and she continues to see Colorado clients by telehealth.

Colorado roots, Florida address

Summit Shores Counseling is based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida — but Mandy Rubin’s counseling career began in Colorado, where she built her practice before relocating. She keeps her Colorado license active, so Colorado clients — returning and new — can meet with her by secure video without starting over with someone new.

How online therapy works

Telehealth sessions work like office sessions: the same 50 minutes, the same therapist, the same pace — minus the drive. You’ll receive a link, join from a private space, and meet by secure video. State licensure means you need to be physically located in Colorado (or Florida, where Mandy is also licensed) at the time of your session.

What people use online therapy for

Who it fits

Specialty care — eating disorder treatment especially — is concentrated in a handful of Colorado metro areas. Telehealth closes that gap: mountain towns and rural corners of the state get the same session a Front Range commuter does, with no winter drive attached. It also suits packed schedules, new mothers, anyone who values not being seen in a waiting room, and part-year residents who split time between Colorado and Florida.

Common questions

Online therapy in Colorado, answered plainly

Why is a Florida practice seeing clients in Colorado?

Mandy built her counseling practice in Colorado before relocating to Florida, and she keeps her Colorado license active. Colorado clients — returning and new — meet with her by secure video.

Do I have to live in Colorado?

You need to be physically located in Colorado at the time of each session — that’s how state licensure works. Mandy is also licensed in Florida, so if you split time between the two states, sessions can move with you.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

For many common concerns, including anxiety and depression, research finds comparable outcomes. Fit and consistency matter more than the format. Colorado sessions are fully virtual — the office is in Jacksonville Beach, Florida — and when something genuinely calls for in-person care, Mandy will say so and help you find it in Colorado.

Can eating disorders be treated online?

Often, yes — outpatient eating disorder therapy translates well to telehealth, and Mandy has 16 years of specialty experience. When symptoms call for in-person or higher-level care, she’ll be direct about it and help connect you with the right program, including options in Colorado.

What about the time difference?

The practice is based in Florida (Eastern time) and Colorado runs two hours behind (Mountain time). When you schedule, just confirm which time zone the appointment time refers to.
