Psychiatric Care in Denver
Elevate Denver Mental Health provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, GeneSight testing, and ESA letters for adults and teens 15 and older. Our office is at 2301 Blake St in the RiNo Art District. We accept most major insurance and keep open availability for new patients.
Who We Help in Denver
Denver runs on ambition. Tech workers pulling long hours in the Platte Street corridor. Nurses finishing back-to-back shifts at UCHealth or Denver Health. Teachers holding it together for Denver Public Schools classrooms while their own anxiety goes untreated. Construction crews building out the next phase of the city while running on caffeine and no sleep.
We treat the people who keep Denver moving -- and the people who feel like Denver is moving too fast for them. ADHD that went undiagnosed through college. Anxiety that got worse after a promotion. Depression that does not care how many fourteeners you have climbed. PTSD from things you do not talk about at happy hour.
We also see teenagers 15 and older. School pressure, social anxiety, attention problems, mood swings -- these are real clinical issues, not phases. The earlier they get evaluated, the better.
Our Approach
This is psychiatry, not therapy. We focus on what is happening in your brain and whether medication can help. Your first appointment is about 60 minutes. We ask real questions, listen to real answers, and build a plan that makes sense for your life -- not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
If you have tried medications before and nothing worked, we offer GeneSight testing. It is a simple cheek swab that shows how your body processes different psychiatric medications. It takes the guesswork out of prescribing. We also provide ESA evaluations for patients who qualify.
For Students
Denver has a large student population spread across multiple campuses. We see students from the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, the University of Denver, Regis University, and Community College of Denver. College is where undiagnosed ADHD often shows up for the first time. The structure of high school masked it. Now the deadlines pile up and the coping strategies stop working. Academic pressure, financial stress, and being away from your support system -- all of it compounds. We get students in quickly and work around class schedules.
For Working Professionals
Denver's economy is broad. We treat employees from UCHealth, Denver Health, Lockheed Martin, DaVita, Xcel Energy, Arrow Electronics, and the State of Colorado. We see tech workers from companies in the Platte Street and RiNo corridors, first responders, and small business owners who have no one to cover for them when they burn out. Irregular schedules, high-stakes deadlines, and the cost of living in a city that keeps getting more expensive -- these are not character flaws. They are real stressors that affect your brain chemistry.
