Psychiatrists in Castle Rock, CO

Hi there!Abbey Carroll. I am a local to Colorado and left only briefly to complete my nursing degree in Oklahoma before moving back to the area. I have over 10 years of nursing experience in various positions and settings. While working extensively with adults of all ages, I found a passion in the mental health field. I have a deep interest in integrative care and believe that mental health must be addressed from multiple fronts.

I am a Vanderbilt-trained Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, specializing in using an integrative approach to help those who suffer from depression, anxiety/panic, attention/focus issues, or chronic fatigue. I also help women struggling with mood challenges associated with infertility, menstrual irregularities, pregnancy and postpartum, and perimenopause/menopause. I am deeply committed to serving those whose past treatment yielded insufficient results, and encourage you to reach-out - even if you feel you've already exhausted your options. Interested in learning more? Your complimentary consultation can be booked on my website.

Hi there! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I have over 13 years of nursing experience and have worked in numerous settings including medical oncology, med surg, surgery, infusion therapy, and nurse navigation. My most recent position before joining Mindful Minds Psychiatry, I worked as a registered nurse on an acute inpatient psychiatric unit where we treated adult patients with various mental health disorders including mood, anxiety, psychotic illnesses, substance use, and disorders requiring acute stabilization.

We regard people as inherently healthy and whole, in contrast to the conventional and widespread belief that people with psychiatric symptoms must be in long-term treatment. Psychological health can truly be achieved by learning new techniques of managing stress and overcoming fear-based habits. We prescribe medications as temporary tools for softening intense symptoms, allowing the deeper healing can occur. Alternative treatments such as vitamins and supplements are encouraged when appropriate. When depression or PTSD does not respond to conventional treatments, we may recommend a course of ketamine assisted psychotherapy.

Not living your best life due to struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse or other mental health issues? I can help. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist with 30 years of clinical experience in all areas of psychiatry and addiction. I can help you if you have a mood disorder (such as Major Depression or Bipolar Disorder), an anxiety disorder (such as PTSD, OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder or Agoraphobia), ADHD, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, TBI or a developmental disability. I can also provide medication to help with addiction to drugs or alcohol. I see patients age 13 and up.

I firmly believe everyone has the capacity for healing. I see medication as an adjunct to therapy and not as a sole intervention. Because there are so many factors that affect our emotional and mental wellbeing, I believe in taking an integrative and collaborative approach to your mental and physical health. Consideration of factors such as sleep, potential nutrient deficiencies, lifestyle and stress, genetics, and of course mood, are critical when developing and a comprehensive treatment plan. I truly believe this type of collaborative and comprehensive plan will allow you to thrive.

Accepting New Patients! I specialize in integrative psychiatry for individuals ages 16+ combining evidence-based medication management with holistic and non-traditional "whole-body" approaches for full-spectrum treatment of mental illnesses and substance abuse. I am accepting of all people and I provide non-judgmental care. Viewing the mind, body, emotions, and soul as beautifully interconnected, I will strive to gain a deep understanding of your unique history, the current struggles that are hindering mental wellness, and adaptation skills that can be enhanced to inspire a lasting sense of inner joy.

Do you suffer from chronic health issues like addiction, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain? Do you feel like you've seen many doctors and counselors, but still have not found the answer to your health concerns? Are you ready to take back your life and health? Like you, I always wished to find a doctor who took an alternative and natural approach to medicine and health. I wanted a doctor who could recommend more than just medicines and surgery. Someone who would appreciate the connection of mind and body, the importance of stress on health, and the role of the mind in healing.

My name is Dayanara, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner at BestMind Behavioral Health. My clinical experience has concentrated on complex high-acuity clients with co-morbidities. This experience has provided perspicuity into the unique interdisciplinary tools required to best support my patient's treatment success.

I take an integrative approach to treatment which may include medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle modification to address patients’ mental health needs. I fully believe in the role that sleep, exercise, and nutrition play in mental wellness.
