Centus is a top-tier provider of behavioral health services, education, and programs.

We take pride in integrating every client’s questions and concerns about their physical, behavioral, and spiritual self.  We are champions of hopeful and healthy living.

Clients are served in office and community settings, as well as via tele-behavioral healthcare sessions. For every counseling session, funds need to be raised through events, grants, and from many individual donors to cover the actual cost of counseling.

Centus partners with Metro Denver area businesses, schools, churches, and human service organizations to provide a wide range of Psycho-Educational offerings. We are also available as a resource to our community partners when they are seeking information or consultation around individuals or families dealing with mental health or addiction related concerns.

Who helps make this happen

In November 2019, Centus received a $20,000 grant from the Rose Community Foundation to support client assistance funding and expansion of our Community Psycho–Educational Services. Community & School Trainings were provided for over 2000 people as a result!

During 2020-21 the average collected fee was $83.58 and the average cost to provide a
session was $86.20 leaving a gap of $2.62 for each of our 17,415 sessions. This gap has
been reduced by over $9 per session in the last 4 years due to rigorous financial
oversight, economies of scale, and billing efficiencies that have been realized. In addition,
negotiations with third party payers, based on the empirically validated high quality of
services, has yielded higher reimbursement rates.

Eighteen local congregations and five schools supported us in 2020 by offering office space at no cost to Centus. This represents approximately $5000 per site each year as an in-kind donation.
