Therapists in Colorado

My name is Melanie Levine, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Master’s in Nursing at the University of Virginia and have several years of experience helping people with their mental health. I have worked in various settings in Denver, including EDCare and the Eating Recovery Center, where I’ve supported patients with diverse needs. Before moving to Denver, I was a Clinical Instructor in Nursing at the University of Virginia. I also bring invaluable experience from my time as a Registered Nurse in Michigan, where I worked at multiple healthcare facilities, including Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services and Michigan Medicine. My certifications and licenses ensure that I’m up-to-date with the latest in mental health practices, and I'm passionate about making a positive impact in my patients' lives. I’m here to provide compassionate and effective mental health care tailored to your needs. In my free time, I volunteer at various health events and serve as a mentor for future nurse practitioners. My goal is to create a supportive and understanding environment where you can achieve better mental health. Treatment philosophy:- I believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that prioritizes each individual’s unique needs. In treating my patients, I focus on medication management as a tool to restore balance and stability, while offering therapeutic support to guide them through their mental health journey. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported, working collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans. Ultimately, I aim to empower my patients, helping them achieve lasting mental well-being and improved quality of life.

I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider from Evergreen and a board-certified practitioner who has worked across the states in various communities. I have worked with all aspects of care, from mental health to chronic care. I attribute a lot of my "patient-centered care" to the diverse patient population set I have served. This diversity, as I state, "has made way for understanding how similar we are as individuals and communities, as well as understanding the intricate differences we each have." "Patient autonomy" and "patient empowerment" are the foundations of my approach. Patients should be heard, educated on all aspects of their concerns, and finally be able to make a well-informed decision on their plan of care.

My practice philosophy centers on a deep respect for my patients’ autonomy, dignity, and trust in me to honor the sanctity of their stories. With over seventeen years of both outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nursing experience, my approach to struggles with anxiety, depression, and other common and less common mental health problems is driven by humility and dedication to my patients’ goals and preferred cultural sources of belonging and support. Compelled by lived experience, I specialize in psychiatric concerns related to neurodevelopment and neurodivergence, tailoring treatment according to ethical, evidence-based research and guidelines. Along with a balanced strengths-based approach to disability, my commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion similarly translates into sensitivity and diligence with regard to psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic choices. *Specialties •Mental Health •Adult Psychiatry •Psychiatry •Child Psychiatry •Behavioral Medicine *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Autism •Sleep problems •ADHD •Insomnia •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •Mood disorders •OCD •Trauma and PTSD *Treatment philosophy My treatment philosophy prioritizes non-judgmental, compassionate, creative, and scientifically rigorous care. I believe that good health is inseparable from peace of mind and that my role as a psychiatric provider is to help you restore and maintain that peace through medication and brief psychotherapy according to symptom severity and type when lifestyle and other therapeutic measures alone aren’t sufficient. I strongly believe that well-being depends on feeling safe, appreciated, and inspired. *Treatment approach •Culturally Sensitive •Humanistic •Person-Focused

Hello! I'm Susan Brock, an Adult and Geriatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping patients achieve better health, particularly in weight management and mental health. My weight loss journey started as a young girl with my mom attending weekly Weight Watchers meetings. Since that time, I have done Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Hilton Head Metabolism Diet, Slimfast, Cabbage Soup diet, starved myself, and on and on. I nearly died taking the Phen-Fen combination of meds years ago after only 1 month. I have done Belviq, Contrave, Qsymia, Saxenda, Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass and regained my weight. The struggle is real for me too. With years of experience in both in-person and telehealth settings, I've worked with various clinics and healthcare providers to support adults and seniors in their health journeys. At Weekend Health and Achieve Medical Weight Loss Clinic, I focus on providing personalized weight loss plans, prescribing necessary medications, and closely monitoring patients' progress to ensure they meet their goals.
