Mental health care in the comfort of your own home.
Our psychiatry clinic supports children, teens, and adults in Durango, Colorado with expert care—all from the comfort of your own home! Durango is a unique mix of outdoor lifestyle, tight-knit community, and rural independence. While these qualities make Durango special, they can also create barriers to mental health care. Long distances, limited local providers, and busy schedules often make it hard to get the support you need. We understand the pressures of daily life and how it can be hard on your mental health such as:
Academic pressure and social stress in Fort Lewis College students
Isolation and seasonal depression in rural and mountain communities
Parenting fatigue with limited access to child mental health providers
Emotional dysregulation in children often mistaken for behavioral issues
Stigmas around seeking help in self-reliant or traditional households

Specializing in…
-
Mental health challenges can be especially difficult in the early stages of life as children and teens navigate emotions, friendships, school pressures, and identity development. Struggling with anxiety before a big test, outbursts of frustration that seem uncontrollable, or feeling lonely can be overwhelming without the right support.
We’re experts at understanding a child’s stages of development and we ensure that each child or teen receives care that relates to their emotional, cognitive, and social needs.
We understand that giving medications to children can be an especially big decision to make! Some parents come to the first appointment still uncertain whether medication is the something that they want to pursue and that’s understandable. We’ll provide you the education you need and different treatment options so that you feel comfortable and safe.
-
We get it. Transitioning from childhood to adulthood can be a lot more difficult than you anticipated. From managing college or career stress to navigating relationships, independence, and your own personal struggles, this stage of life can be more than what you signed up for.
You may feel like you have a foot in both doors where you feel more independent than a child, but not necessarily confident enough to say that you can face world by yourself. Maybe there’s challenges or trauma you didn’t even realize that you were dealing with for a long time until you grew up and now you’re unsure what to do about it. Or maybe you’re trying to build deeper relationships but find yourself self-sabatoging despite your best intensions. And while dealing with all that… let’s talk about how much pressure it is to decide what career you want to dedicate the rest of your life towards!
We understand. And we’re here to help build confidence, clarity, and understanding, emotional balance within yourself.
-
Not all mental health conditions can simple be explained as chemical imbalances.
Trauma isn’t something that just happened in the past - it can feel like a weight you carry every single day. It may show up for you as constant anxiety that prevents you from being safe, even in your own bed. Or maybe it’s the nightmares, flashbacks, or emotional numbness that makes it hard to connect with what’s going on in reality. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in patterns of fear, self-doubt, or avoidance. No matter how much time has passed, somehow you just can’t move on or feel like you’re strong enough.
We recognize trauma comes in many forms, from a single life-altering even to a series of small but deeply impactful, repeated experiences. We want to understand not what you’re dealing with today, but how your past brought you here so that can understand the core of your story and help you heal.

We understand the mental health challenges of the Durango community
-
Students at Fort Lewis College and local high schools often experience performance anxiety, identity stress, and burnout, especially when balancing rigorous academics with social expectations or financial strain.
-
Living in or near rural or mountain areas can offer peace—but also loneliness, seasonal depression, and limited in-person support. For many, the physical distance becomes emotional too. Our virtual care bridges that gap with easy access to consistent support.
-
Durango parents wear many hats—caregivers, employees, community members—and often carry the emotional weight for everyone else. When your child is struggling or you feel depleted yourself, we’re here to help lighten the load.
-
What looks like misbehavior is often a sign of unmet emotional needs, trauma, or sensory overwhelm. We work with children and adolescents who may be struggling to express what they’re feeling, and we help families understand how to support them.
-
Durango’s strong values of independence and resilience are part of what make it special—but they can also create silence around mental health. We offer care that respects your values while gently opening space for healing, vulnerability, and growth.
