Haelen Mental Health: Integrative Psychiatric Care in Littleton, Colorado

Haelen Mental Health is an outpatient mental health clinic that provides integrative psychiatric care to adults and adolescents. Its team is made up of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and counseling interns. The clinic combines in-person care in Littleton, Colorado, with telehealth options to broaden access to its services.

Services and Clinical Approach

The clinic addresses a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mood disorders. Its approach considers the whole person, integrating clinical expertise, evidence-based medicine, and each patient's individual strengths.

Services include:

• Psychiatric evaluation to understand the patient's needs and goals.
• Individual counseling and therapy tailored to each person's life stage, symptoms, and priorities.
• Collaborative medication management, with consideration of supplements, natural medicine, and traditional pharmacological options.
• Spravato™ for treatment-resistant depression.
• EMDR.

Care Process

The clinic describes a structured four-step process. It begins with scheduling an appointment for a comprehensive evaluation that covers medical history, symptoms, and therapeutic goals. Then, the psychiatric nurses assess the situation to offer evidence-based treatment options. Next, a personalized plan is developed that may include medication management, individual therapy, or Spravato; if the team cannot meet the patient's needs, they refer to other specialists. Finally, the patient begins treatment with the team's support.

For new clients, evaluations last 90 minutes. Established clients can choose between 30- or 50-minute follow-up appointments.
