One aspect of the office that always stood out to me was the encouragement board. I have a few little notes written anonymously hidden in slots of my wallet. Every so often one will fall out, or I'll stumble upon them. They are nice little refreshers. To the staff, all of you were very attentive and kind. I personally saw Cynthia, and Mo on my initial visit. They are thorough and patient. They don't make you feel different. They aren't pushy, they aren't judgmental. I felt understood and most importantly - safe. Thank you to the staff of Creekside, including Chris, and Monica. I'm sad I'm leaving this practice, but appreciative of the professionalism and unwavering kindness.

DO NOT GO HERE! my therapist recommended I come here for medication management after a diagnosis…read moreshe gave me. Firstly, it took 3 calls here to get someone to call me back. Then the first appointment I HAD to have was an intake with one of their therapist even tho I have my own. Then it took EIGHT weeks to see a psychiatrist Jessica Reiss who then also needed her own intake appointment which took an hour and a half. She not only clearly didn't believe me but also was condescending in her tone when asking about diet. I have lost 110 pounds and told her prior to asking about diet that I am a CPT and nutrition coach- she then asks "but do you follow it"... excuse me? DO YOU MAAM? Not only does she not take my therapist diagnosis but she makes me jump through hoops and turns me in to side show Bob requesting a questionnaire from my mother and a FRIEND be filled out THEN TWO WEEKS LATER an in office visit for her to take my blood pressure.... To "confirm diagnosis". Why is it that I need to jump through hoops when I've established a relationship with my own therapist. Why can't you do your job and make an assessment like all the other psychiatrist do? Nope.... This place is a joke and they make you coke back for as many visits as possible. Do not come here. Literally would rather never seek therapy again and won't. I'm done with shrinks. Y'all are the same. GATEKEEPING access to necessary medication is disgusting. I have NEVER sought out medication until this diagnosis before.... I've always turned down meds. ALWAYS! Imagine... finally wanting to get help and being met with roadblocks by YT women. Big shocker. Medical gatekeeping..... makes me wonder if this office is racist.

Dr. Carrie and Julie are by far the most organized, professional and knowledgeable psychiatry…read morepractice I have ever used! From appointment reminders, to billing, to making sure you are well taken care of, they are fantastic! Dr. Carrie doesn't do the usual 'and how are you feeling today?' crap or just prescribe meds without updates and context like most psychiatrists do. She really looks into things, keeps up on continuing education, and will weigh-in on anything you ask her to! I love that!!! I love that Dr. Carrie is "human" and really dives deep to understand. Her life experience makes her the best Psychiatrist I have ever been to. No condescension or holier than though crap. Very respectful and kind, and also very motivating when you need a kick in the butt. I just can't say enough good things! I will be her forever patient!

I've been a patient of Denver Wellness Associates for three years. I was in a desperate place when…read moreDr. Theobald and I met. A major psychiatric illness was emerging and was very rapidly destroying my life. She was able to quickly identify and diagnose the problem (that ~10 previous psychologists and psychiatrists had previously missed). Jeanne quickly found the right combination of medications based on my condition and genetic makeup and had me back on my feet quickly. She then worked with me to tune my medications so that they worked correctly (and without side-effects). We engaged in psychotherapy and ultimately psychoanalysis that has transformed my life in ways too numerous to recount here. Suffice to say that I have gone from a life that felt not worth living to one that is filled with happiness, joie de vivre, energy, confidence and seemingly (to me) endless potential. Most recently her use of TMS technology has improved seemingly every aspect of my brain's functioning. During that process I got to know many members of her excellent team and each did a spectacular job in their own right. I was extremely fortunate to find Jeanne and could not possibly recommend her or her practice more highly.

She has been such a support and a literal life saver. Love her!

My wife, a generally straight woman fell in love with me as a person but needed some help understanding and incorporating sex into our relationship. Something she has done very well and is now proudly and functionally bisexual. To maintain a clear line of communication, seeing marriage/sex counselor has been paramount to our marriage success. The entire staff at this place has been professional, supportive and easy to work with. Scheduling is easy and the office environment is very relaxing. I highly recommend these professionals. They have been very open and nonjudgmental about our same sex marriage. We both feel very comfortable there.

My family had a really positive first impression of Mary Wilkie--she was helpful during a very…read moredifficult day, and we were hopeful about working with her. Unfortunately, our experience since then has been extremely disappointing. She saw my son individually for two sessions and met with us as parents once before we had a family session after another issue arose. During that family session, she did not address the situation at hand, focused on irrelevant topics, and was dismissive when we tried to redirect the conversation--even after inviting us to 'correct her if she was wrong.' The way she spoke to us came across as rude and disrespectful, which only made our family's communication worse instead of better. To make matters worse, the session lasted only half the scheduled time, yet I expect we'll be charged the full amount. I left feeling angry, offended, and let down. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend her services, and I sincerely hope no other family goes through what we did.

She is an excellent listener, and is able to help you navigate areas in which you might be stuck, or are afraid to go. I have told her things about myself I have never told anyone, many of them not very comfortable, yet she always keeps an open mind and allows you to go through your own process at your own pace. As someone who does not easily trust, I trust her implicitly and know I can always count on her when I need to. I have worked with other therapists over the years, and always ended up frustrated and feeling hopeless that I wasn't going anywhere. So happy to say that with Tina, the exact opposite is true - I have a renewed sense of self-acceptance and respect for others due to her wisdom and insight. I've never felt mentally healthier in my life. I know if I ever need guidance, I can always count on Tina.
