Denver, CO 80206
Dr. Susan Spivey is a general psychiatrist and psychotherapist. She started her psychiatric career in a housing unit for incarcerated adults with mental illness at the Oregon State Penitentiary, and is excited to begin her outpatient practice with Talkiatry. Dr. Spivey believes treatment works best when the patient and the provider take time together to explore the "problem" with curiosity and with appreciation for its context within the patient's life. She therefore offers medication management embedded with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. She also has some availability for longer-term, exploratory psychotherapy.

Maybe you have tried everything. Maybe you don't know where to start. The reality is that it can be challenging to make and sustain changes in your life- that's why it's okay to ask for some help. Sure, I prescribe all the drugs you can imagine, but I try to use them to get you from point A to point B. This translates to targeted treatments to manage symptoms (ie. mood, anxiety, sleep, thoughts) while you get to work on living your life. Sometimes we avoid medications altogether and go hard on nutraceuticals and lifestyle interventions. The goal is match you with the right set of treatments so that 'getting help' isn't that bad.

I established Denver Psychiatric Clinic to add needed space for individuals to focus on issues affecting their mental well-being. Anxiety, mood instability, depression, relationship stress, and general dissatisfaction are often what bring people into treatment but typically represent only the surface layer of why we experience distress the way we do. The purpose of my practice is to create space for exploration of any and all sources of that distress through medication and/or therapy. My objective for each patient is that such exploration facilitates improvement through an increased understanding of themselves.

I believe in a holistic approach to medicine that takes into account one's body, mind and spirit. This means treating each patient on an individual level, taking into account their story, goals, boundaries, and personal beliefs to find the best course of treatment for them. I am here to provide expertise, education, suggestions, resources, and guidance; however, I believe the patient themselves (or their legal guardian) should be at the forefront of their own care.

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.

Ideally, I prefer to work with clients who are ready for change. They have taken a look at their mental health, and while they may not know exactly what is going on, they know something is not right and they want help. I love to work with people who want to partner with me to come up with a treatment plan, and then own that treatment, participating fully in their care. I strongly believe medication management can be an integral part of mental health, but without psychotherapy and embracing changing what is not working, it cannot do the job alone.
