How We Work

A Collaborative Approach to Mental Health

At the CU Anschutz Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Depression Center, care is never one-dimensional. Every patient’s journey is unique, which is why our psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and therapists work side by side to design treatment that fits your needs. By blending medical expertise with therapy, research, and family support, we create care plans that treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
