For Care Providers

Therapeutic mentoring works alongside therapy, not instead of it. Where therapy happens in the office, mentoring happens in the client’s real world — at school, in the community, doing the things that reveal who they’re becoming. James and his mentors work with teens, young adults, and older adults on the specific challenges therapists refer them for: building independence, developing social skills, navigating transitions, re-engaging with life. They coordinate directly with the referring therapist.

Primarily teens and young adults (14–28) in the Colorado Front Range — Denver, Boulder, Broomfield, Lafayette, and surrounding areas. We also work with adults who are stuck in patterns of dependency and need support building independence — age isn’t the barrier, readiness is. Common presentations: failure to launch, anxiety and depression, executive function challenges, substance recovery support, major life transitions.

Simple. Email contact@noblementors.com or call 720-730-2424. Briefly describe the client and what you’re hoping mentoring can address. James will respond within 24 hours, schedule a call with you if needed, and then reach out to the family directly. You’ll receive a coordination note when services begin.

We can customize this based on whatever would be most helpful for you in the therapeutic process. It could be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly updates — whatever fits the case. We can also hop on a 15-minute call if something comes up that needs a real-time conversation. You’re the clinical lead. We’re here to support that, not go around it.

All Noble Mentors mentors are trained and supervised directly by James Farmer. The majority of our mentors are currently in graduate programs to become therapists — they bring both academic grounding and genuine relational presence. Mentors are selected for lived experience, emotional maturity, and mentoring aptitude — not just credentials. They’re not therapists, and they don’t pretend to be. Their value is in authentic relationship and real-world accompaniment.

Sessions run an hour and a half or longer, out in the real world. A session might look like meeting at a coffee shop to work through a job application, taking a hike to process a hard week, driving to a new neighborhood to practice independent errands, or sitting side by side at a library to build a budget. The structure follows the client’s goals and what they need that day. The relationship is the intervention.

Noble Mentors does not bill insurance, and we do not provide documentation to support out-of-network claims or HSA/mental health benefit reimbursements. Our rate is $125 per hour. We also offer sliding scale options and mentoring packages at different levels for families who need more flexibility. Rates and packages are discussed during the intake call.

Try this: “There’s a therapist who handles the internal work, and a mentor who works alongside your teen in real life — helping them practice what they’re learning in therapy.” For parents: “Think of it as a trusted older adult who’s specifically trained to support your teenager through this chapter.”

That happens — and it’s useful information. James is happy to consult with you on timing. We’d rather be honest about fit than start a relationship that isn’t ready. Reach out and we can think through it together.

We can customize coordination to whatever is most helpful for you in the therapeutic process. It could be weekly check-ins, bi-weekly summaries, or a monthly update — depending on the case. We can also hop on a 15-minute call if something comes up. You’re the clinical lead. We’re here to support that, not go around it.
