Why More People Are Choosing Axis for Psychiatric Care in Boulder County

We’re not just another psychiatry clinic. Our integrated approach means you can access psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy, TMS, and ketamine treatment all under one roof. That means less confusion, better outcomes, and a care plan tailored to you.

Our psychiatric providers, like Dr. Ben Egbers, Sarah McLaughin,  Shannon Starr Mostafiz, and Selena Church bring both expertise and empathy to every patient interaction. 

Medication Management and Deprescribing: A Thoughtful Approach

We work with patients who are just starting psychiatric medications, as well as those who feel overmedicated or burned out by the trial-and-error process. Our clinicians specialize in deprescribing, carefully reducing or adjusting medications when appropriate to simplify your regimen and support your health goals.

We also offer supportive therapy and lifestyle counseling with Tori Kause, because we believe true healing happens on multiple levels.

TMS, Ketamine, and Spravato: Advanced Treatments That Work

If you've tried multiple antidepressants without success, you may benefit from interventional treatments:

• TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): A non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for depression, OCD, and anxiety.

• Spravato (nasal esketamine): Ideal for patients with treatment-resistant depression or suicidal ideation. Delivered in a safe, in-clinic setting.

These treatments are covered by insurance and supported by our dedicated care team. Learn more in our guide to alternative depression treatments.

Covered by Insurance, Focused on Outcomes

We take the guesswork out of mental health care. Our team verifies your insurance, obtains prior authorizations, and advocates on your behalf. Whether you need psychiatric medications, therapy, or advanced treatments, we help you access the support you need without financial confusion.

What to Expect as a New Patient

Most new patients are seen within days. Your first appointment will include a comprehensive evaluation, collaborative goal-setting, and a plan that reflects your unique needs. We take time to understand what’s worked (and what hasn’t) and build a care strategy that empowers your healing.
