Women's Issues Psychiatrists in Colorado

Accepting new patients! My name is Jessica Oldham, I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner (PMHNP-BC RXN) with prescriptive authority, & owner of Rocky Mountain Mental Health, P.C, a psychiatric nurse practitioner based outpatient private practice, located in Littleton. Through my practice, I see patients ages 5 and up, providing medication evaluation and management of a variety of psychiatric conditions. I believe in offering my patients a caring and compassionate evidenced based model of care & focus on building a therapeutic relationship with my patients through open and direct communication.

Accepting New Patients! I am passionate about helping people reach their goals with their mental health. ADHD, depression, anxiety, and so many other mental health challenges can significantly affect our everyday lives. I hope I can help my clients identify the roadblocks to their success and work with them to help find effective treatment options. I also specialize in women's mental health and I hope women can feel safe and supported in our sessions.

I am committed to supporting individuals navigating the complexities of mental health. Whether you're facing life's everyday stresses or transitioning through pivotal moments such as infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum challenges, you've found a place of understanding and empathy. My approach is holistic, focusing on compassionate support and effective coping strategies tailored to each unique journey. While I specialize in perinatal mental health, my mission encompasses guiding all clients toward wellness, ensuring a sense of being deeply heard and empowered. Together, we'll embark on a path of healing and growth!

As a woman, your mental and physical health needs are unique and often misunderstood or overlooked—let's change that together with a personalized, holistic approach. As we navigate life's stages—from adolescence and young adulthood to pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and beyond—there may be times when our mental health calls for extra support. With a nuanced understanding of how these life transitions distinctly impact women's (AFAB) mental health, I tailor medications and complementary treatment recommendations to each stage of your journey.

I believe in a holistic, non-judgmental and client-centered approach to mental health care. I enjoy partnering with clients in their care and walking alongside them in their journey. Each and every one of us has a story and we all have unique inner strengths to face challenges in life. I enjoy fostering these strengths in addition to utilizing tools, such as medication management and/or nutritional supplements to assist clients in achieving their goals and the picture of health that is unique to them.

Are you feeling stressed out, stuck, helpless, overwhelmed with fear or disappointment, unable to focus or get anything done? Do you want to keep functioning this way? I provide modern treatment strategies, with a 3 fold approach: remove what's hurting you, support what's helping you, and grow more helpful components. This a systems based approach, targeting brain regions, neurotransmitters, signalling pathways, and inflammation. I work with people who are well-trained in how to understand and interact with the world logically; but find stumbling blocks in their psychological and emotional well-being.

Regardless of where you are at in your mental health journey, we start with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. During this evaluation, we review your history engaging in psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, symptoms, and comprehensive medical history. This evaluation sets the stage for your mental health journey. Using an integrative psychiatry approach, I then develop a treatment plan for you that includes optimized prescription medication management, supplementation, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. I am able to provide treatment for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, PMDD, PPD, Autism, OCD, and disordered eating.

My ideal patients are those who advocate for their healing process and journey. As a Physician Assistant I greatly value being a guide and resource for patients, aiding them in discovering their full potential. I greatly appreciate providing an array of healing modalities including, but not limited to, medication management, holistic/herbal remedies, and brief psychotherapeutic support. While I enjoy working with all demographics, what I am truly passionate about is working with middle-aged women, especially those struggling with menstruation and/or additional complications or concerns of the female body and function.

Becoming a parent is a wonderful experience, however, for some more than others, it is accompanied by challenges and changes that moms and dads find difficult to manage. Without an adequate support system, and sometimes even when one is in place, we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with feelings of despair, anxiety, guilt, or shame to name a few.

*New Patient appointments within one week! I am an ANCC board certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who offers psychiatric medication management services. I obtained my degree from the University of Colorado and have experience with serving individuals across the lifespan within a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, residential, crisis settings, and via “Tele” psychiatry. During sessions, I strive to ensure that your concerns are not only addressed, but truly heard, and that you are able to experience hope and confidence along the journey towards the best you.

My goal is to help you make transformative life changes and build emotional resilience through a collaborative process. We will work using talk therapy to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, personality, and relationships to better sort out your reasons for seeking help. We will consider whether there is a biological aspect to your difficulties and if you may benefit from medications to enhance your therapy. Finally, we will identify your goals, strengths, temperament, interests, personality traits, and life experiences to tailor an individual treatment for you.

My ideal client will have issues with mood and/or anxiety disorder(s). They will need help in managing their disorder. Their goal will be to incorporate therapeutic, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and/or medicinal modalities to improve their sense of life. The patient wants to improve their overall value of life. They want to feel as if they have a purpose and feel joy in obtaining that purpose.

We all tend to seek help when what we are doing is no longer working, or we feel stuck , dissatisfied or our life is out of control, or someone we care about says that we should get help. I view these pivotal moments as potential moments of alchemy, if we are willing to be mindful with what is, staying with our experience and working through it. Remaining mindFUL allows the experience to teach us what we are supposed to learn, if we are open to it. I am here to support you as you go through your journey, face your challenges, identify patterns with you that keep you feel stuck so that you can be more free to be your best self.

Hi! My name is Holly Werstein, and I would love to work together. This quote speaks to my philosophy of care, “Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.” — Steven Aitchison. With a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication services, and/or psychotropic genetic testing, we will design your path to emotional relief and healing.

Amanda is a nationally certified and Colorado licensed physician assistant and medical provider at The Collective. She attended PA school in North Carolina and started her career in emergency medicine in Richmond, VA. Although she loved the fast-paced intensity of emergency medicine, it became clear that ongoing mental health support is critical, not only regarding psychiatric illnesses, but also medical conditions and day to day functioning. She decided to transition to outpatient psychiatry to be part of long-term solutions and management rather than the last line of defense.

Through practicing in family medicine, I have realized how much our mental health effects our well-being and found that my true passion is in promoting mental health wellness. I have a special interest in gut health and how our gut microbiome impacts not only our mental health, but our overall wellness. I believe in an integrated approach to behavioral health care that includes nutrition, exercise, meditation, and sleep education. My goal is to collaborate with each patient to form an individualized approach to care.

Although carefully chosen medications can quickly achieve much needed relief of anxiety, depression, insomnia and trauma symptoms, a thorough evaluation can also identify many opportunities for improvement without medications. The most effective treatment plan may include work-life balance, nutrition and sleep strategies, address, avoid or adapting to triggers, in addition to multiple psychotherapies. When needed, medications with the lowest side effects, easiest to use, most predictably effective & not addictive are recommended. Ultimately, it is up to each person to decide which strategies they will use to achieve wellness.
