About Our Practice

At Green Mind Psychiatry, we provide a personalized approach to mental wellness that emphasizes holistic treatments and nature-inspired solutions, helping our clients find peace, balance, and a more fulfilling life. Our mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their mental health.

We offer compassionate support and guidance—backed by the latest scientific research—to help you achieve your wellness goals.
Services
We provide personalized support for your mental health needs, integrating lifestyle changes, medication, and holistic therapies to improve your mental fitness.
Consultation and Evaluation
Create a Personalized Plan
We recommend scheduling a 15-minute phone consultation with our psychiatrist to explore how our integrative approach to mental health can benefit you. New patients start with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, a 60-minute session to assess your current situation, including symptoms and past treatments. In this meeting, we will discuss your goals and treatment options to develop a personalized plan that sets you on the path to improved mental fitness and better brain health.
The Brain Health Blueprint
Give Your Brain a Boost
To maintain healthy brain function, it's important to embrace a lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, sufficient sleep, supportive relationships, and effective stress management. Nurturing positive connections, spending time in nature, and practicing self-compassion are also important for improving mental health. We offer assessments and coaching to help you build skills in these areas, available through our comprehensive Brain Health Blueprint program or during individual sessions with our psychiatrist. You'll receive practical tips to boost your brain health right away.
Mindfulness-Based Nature Therapy
Cultivate a Calm Mind in Nature
In our tech-driven world, the healing benefits of nature are often overlooked. Research shows that spending time in natural surroundings improves mental health by offering a calming environment where people can relax and engage in therapy more successfully than in traditional office settings. We offer individual mindfulness-based nature therapy sessions and programs specifically designed for adults, high school students, and youth, aimed at promoting positivity, boosting happiness, and improving attention to develop a more resilient and optimistic mindset.
Psychotherapy
Navigate Mental Health Challenges
We offer personalized talk therapy designed to help you gain the knowledge and skills needed to achieve your personal goals. Our psychiatrist will help you choose the therapy that best suits your individual needs. Whether you're seeking a short-term solution for a specific issue or want to improve skills like mindfulness, we offer a range of options. We also provide long-term therapy and support for personal growth, empowering you to take charge of your mental health and overcome challenges for a happier, more fulfilling life.
Medication Management
Find Safe and Effective Solutions
Medications are an important tool for managing symptoms of psychiatric disorders. However, many people experience only partial or temporary relief from medications. In these cases, we explore alternative treatment options and work to address side effects and drug interactions that could limit their effectiveness. For clients wanting to reduce their dependence on medications, we offer guidance on safely tapering off prescription drugs. Our psychiatrist prescribes medications for various conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and more.
Telehealth Sessions
Access Care from Anywhere
All our services are offered remotely using secure video technology. We conduct psychiatric evaluations and lifestyle assessments, as well as provide medication management, holistic treatments including nature-based interventions, and talk therapy through video sessions. At this time, patients must live in Colorado to receive these telehealth services.
Benefits
Research shows that holistic therapies and nature-based treatments offer benefits for enhancing mental health. Here are some of the ways these powerful approaches can improve your mental fitness.
Enhancing Calm
Spending time in nature and practicing mindfulness can reduce cortisol levels, the stress hormone, while activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This process lowers heart rate and blood pressure, creating a sense of calm and safety.
Promoting Clarity
Mindfulness practices, certain types of cognitive behavioral therapy, and nature experiences help to refocus attention away from negative thoughts and worries, enhancing cognitive flexibility and promoting a clearer, more balanced perspective.
Building Confidence
Applying positive psychology techniques and participating in therapeutic outdoor activities improves brain function and builds confidence by promoting resilience, enhancing optimism, and increasing motivation, enabling you to achieve your goals and feel great.
Fostering Connection
Engaging with nature and practicing mindfulness techniques centered on self-compassion empowers people by connecting them with their authentic selves, offering a remedy for loneliness while nurturing a deeper bond with the planet and enhancing their sense of belonging.
