Psychiatric medication management in Denver, CO
Combine medicine and therapy for an integrated approach to mental health.
Medication management integrated with therapy
If you’re struggling with a mental health condition, like anxiety, depression, or trauma, you could benefit from prescription medication. My Denver Therapy is one of the only therapy private practices in the Denver area with an in-house, board-certified, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who can prescribe medication for clients with mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, mood disorders, and those looking for Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Our psychiatric nurse practitioner Shannon Keane (PMHNP-BC) is dual certified in family medicine and psychiatry. She can provide psychiatric medication management and prescriptions to help address your unique mental health needs in ways that help you live a healthier, happier life.
As a member of the My Denver Therapy team, Shannon can work with our therapists to help provide an integrated approach to your mental health with your consent. And if you’re just looking for a prescription for anxiety or depression medication or medication management without therapy because you already have a therapist elsewhere, she’s also available for you too.
If you’ve ever tried to find a psychiatrist or mental health medication prescriber in Denver, you’ve likely learned how difficult it can be to get an appointment and how much more convenient it could be if your therapist and prescriber were in the same place. We wanted to make the experience of prescription medication for mental health better for our clients, so we added medication management to what we provide through therapy in our Denver, Greenwood Village, Douglas County (Lone Tree), and Golden offices.
What is medication management?
Getting prescription medication for mental health issues can help with many different conditions. In some cases, medications are only needed for short periods of time, but there are people with chronic mental health issues that may need medication that helps them manage their symptoms for a lifetime so they can live a better life.
By taking a holistic approach to mental health, our psychiatric nurse practitioner Shannon Keane creates realistic, comprehensive strategies to improve and maintain your mental health. She helps people take care of their physical mind, body, and soul to reach an optimal state of well-being, and it’s important to have a medication management provider in Denver who can help manage your mental health conditions at a reasonable price, even without insurance.
We believe that the best treatment for mental health issues often involves both psychological and biological factors, so Shannon will use nutrition, movement, supplements, medications, meditation, and alternative types of therapy with her patients to help them live better lives.

Why combine medication management with therapy?
Medication management combined with therapy is a proven, effective treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and even schizophrenia. When used together, especially when providers are in communication, these two treatments can help people manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and reduce their risk of relapse.
There are several important reasons why it’s important to combine medication management with psychotherapy. First, medications can help to reduce the symptoms of mental health conditions, but they don’t always address the underlying causes of those conditions, which therapy can help with. Through therapy, people can understand and address the underlying causes of their mental health problems, which can lead to lasting improvements in their symptoms.
Second, medication management can occasionally have side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, sexual problems, and other issues. When someone already has a therapist, it can help people to cope with these side effects and manage their overall mental health.
Finally, medication management and psychotherapy can work together to create a more comprehensive, integrated, and effective treatment plan. By combining these two treatments together, you can improve your chances of recovery in ways that can lead to a healthier, happier life. Together, these two treatments can make a real difference.
Common psychiatric prescription medications
Here are some of the most common medications that people are often prescribed for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health issues:
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- Escitalopram (Lexapro)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Bupropion (Wellbutrin)
- Venlafaxine (Effexor)
- Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine (Adderall)
- Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta)
- Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel)
- Aripiprazole (Abilify)
Can I use insurance for medication management?
Like most private practice psychiatrists in Denver and throughout the United States, we don’t accept insurance and are out-of-network providers for PPO insurance plans for medication management.
Most psychiatrists in Denver don’t accept insurance, and they can often have extremely long waitlists because of high demand. By working with a local therapy private practice for medication management, we can help you get scheduled and seen faster to help you get the help you’re looking for.
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
