Dr. Justin Garcia-Grace
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, APRN, PMHNP
Denver, CO 80239
I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to psychiatry that goes beyond quick medication management. While medication can help, real progress starts with understanding you- your patterns, stressors, and goals. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood concerns, including those who feel high-functioning but overwhelmed. My approach integrates medication with practical, evidence-based strategies in focused, intentional sessions. My goal is to help you feel more stable, clear, and like yourself again.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care for children, adolescents, and adults. My background in community health, inpatient psychiatry, partial hospitalization programs, and neuromodulation services has shown me that effective mental health care requires an integrated, whole-person approach. People make the best decisions for themselves, so long as their needs are met. Medication can be helpful, but lasting change often comes from combining thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy, attention to life experiences, and support around the social factors that shape well-being.

My ideal client is anyone who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by life’s challenges. They may be navigating trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship stress, or major transitions and want a safe, supportive space to sort through it all. They’re seeking someone who listens without judgment and can offer guidance, coping skills, and, when helpful, medication support. Their goal is to feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of their emotional world, with a partner who walks with them at their own pace.

FAQ - LGBTQ+ Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of seeing an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions using a combination of therapy and medication. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective treatment. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, working with a psychiatrist who understands or shares aspects of their identity can be an important part of feeling safe, heard, and respected in care. Providers familiar with LGBTQ+ experiences may be better equipped to address minority stress, identity development, gender dysphoria, coming out processes, family rejection, discrimination, and other concerns that uniquely affect LGBTQ+ communities and can impact mental health treatment.

How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful resource that allows you to filter for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) based on their experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. You can look for providers who identify as LGBTQ+ themselves or who mention LGBTQ+ affirming care in their profiles. Consider looking for key indicators such as use of inclusive language, experience with gender-affirming care, or a focus on trauma-informed and identity-centered approaches. It’s also important to consider practical details, such as whether the provider offers telehealth, their therapeutic style, and whether they accept your insurance.
