Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation For Lasting Clarity

For Women In Denver, Colorado

If you’ve been feeling “off” but haven’t been able to find the why, a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation can provide the clarity you’ve been searching for. Many ambitious, self-aware women are told “everything looks normal” even when they’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or ADHD. Too often, their symptoms are brushed off or misdiagnosed—leaving them feeling stuck, misunderstood, and unsupported.

 

Here’s the difference: my comprehensive psychiatric evaluations are never rushed. I take a root-cause, integrative approach that looks beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover what’s really going on in your mind and body. This process gives you real answers—and a plan that finally makes sense for your life.

 

What is a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is the starting point for understanding your mental health. Instead of a quick checklist, I provide a thorough assessment that explores your symptoms, history, biology, and lifestyle.

The goal? To clarify potential diagnoses, uncover hidden contributors, and build a personalized treatment plan that helps you feel better faster.

 

Why is a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Important?

Mental health symptoms often overlap. Fatigue might look like depression. Worry might mask ADHD. Mood swings might come from stress—or hormones. Without the right mental health evaluation, women are often misdiagnosed or left without meaningful support.

 

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation provides:

  • An accurate diagnosis so you understand what’s really happening

  • A clear starting point for treatment planning

  • Insight into root causes (biology, hormones, trauma, lifestyle)

  • Confidence that you’re not “making it up”—your symptoms are real and valid

 

What should I Expect During a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?

Your evaluation is a collaborative conversation, not a cold interrogation. We’ll cover:

  • Your medical, psychiatric, and family history

  • Current symptoms and their impact on daily life

  • Screening for underlying contributors like thyroid, nutrient, or sleep issues

  • Discussion of goals and values to guide treatment planning

 

At the end of your comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, you’ll walk away with clear next steps—not just a label.

 

Who Can Benefit from a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation can help if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent sadness, low motivation, or depression

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, or constant worry

  • Mood swings or irritability

  • Brain fog or concentration problems

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Stress, burnout, or feeling “overloaded”

  • Impulsivity or reactivity

  • Struggles balancing work, parenting, or relationships

 

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just get it together?”—a thorough evaluation may be the missing piece.

 

What Happens After a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. After your psychiatric assessment, I create a personalized plan that blends science with compassion and may include medication, supplements, therapy, lifestyle strategies, lab testing, and genetic testing.

 

The goal isn’t just to give you a diagnosis—it’s to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and design a plan that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

 

Why Choose a Root-Cause Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation in Denver?

Unlike traditional models that focus only on symptoms, my approach digs deeper—connecting mental health with biology, hormones, lifestyle, and environment. My boutique holistic psychiatry practice offers:

  • Extended time to truly understand your story

  • Direct access without the frustration of “middleman” care

  • Integrative testing for clarity and precision

  • A personalized plan that fits your values, goals, and lifestyle

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation?

If you’ve been struggling with mood, anxiety, energy, focus, or motivation—and standard advice hasn’t helped—it’s time for an evaluation. Women in Denver often come to me after years of “pushing through,” only to realize their symptoms are part of a bigger pattern that deserves attention.

What’s the difference between a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and therapy intake?

A psychiatric evaluation is designed to uncover diagnoses, explore biological contributors, and create a treatment plan that may include labs, medication, or supplements in addition to therapy. A therapy intake focuses more on goals and coping strategies, but not on medical or diagnostic factors.

Do you offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations online in Colorado?

Yes. I offer virtual psychiatric evaluations across Colorado, so whether you’re in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, or beyond, you can access care from the comfort of your home.

Will I have to start medication after the evaluation?

Not necessarily. Medication is one option, but many women benefit from a combination of therapy, supplements, and lifestyle strategies. When medication is recommended, genetic testing can help reduce trial-and-error and improve tolerability.

Do I ever need to meet in person for psychiatric care?

Most of my sessions are conducted virtually, making care convenient and accessible anywhere in Colorado. However, there are times when an in-person visit may be required for safety, legal, or clinical reasons—for example, certain controlled medication prescriptions, urgent evaluations, or if hands-on assessment is necessary. When this happens, I’ll work with you to arrange a local in-person session that’s straightforward and supportive.
