Psychiatry & Mental Health FAQs — TrailMind Health & Wellness in Monument, CO

At TrailMind, care is thoughtful, collaborative, and never rushed. We focus on what actually helps — and we tailor care to your brain and body.

Here’s how we support you:

• Medication management
  Thoughtful prescribing, careful adjustments, and de-prescribing when less truly is more.

• Pharmacogenetic testing
  Insight into how your body processes medications — because guessing isn’t a treatment plan.

• Hormonal support in perimenopause
  Mental health care that recognizes the very real impact of hormonal shifts (and takes them seriously).

• Holistic, whole-person care
  We look beyond symptoms to consider sleep, stress, lifestyle, and the bigger picture of your health.

Care here is evidence-based, human, and designed to fit real life — not a checklist.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through the Online Booking button at the top right of your screen. We will follow-up if any additional information is needed.

TrailMind isn’t about rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all treatment. Care here is collaborative, integrative, and personal—looking at mental health, physical health, hormones, and real life, not just a symptom checklist.

We accept most major insurance plans. We are currently out-of-network with Tricare and Medicaid while we await these contracts.

The Self-Pay rate for an initial consult is $250 for up to 60-75 minutes. Follow-up appointments are $150 (up to 30 minutes). We can provide a superbill that you can submit for possible out-of-network coverage.

If you are interested in getting reimbursement through your insurance for out-of-network services, please click here for a complementary Reimbursify report of your out of network benefits.

I’m collaborative, honest, occasionally a bit sarcastic, and always appreciative of a good pun or Dad joke. I’ll explain the why, keep things real, and your care will never be one-size-fits-all. Expect honesty and care that moves you forward without taking itself too seriously.

You can reach out via text (719-631-1605), through your patient portal, or e-mail: info@trailmindwellness.com

Yes—I’m an ADHD-affirming provider. If you’ve been diagnosed before, I’ll need prior records. If this is your first evaluation, plan on a follow-up visit after the initial consult to review additional screening tools and talk through options in more detail.

A few important notes: medication isn’t guaranteed, dosing stays within FDA guidelines, and medical or lab testing may be part of the process. Stimulants aren’t prescribed or recommended if you’re taking other controlled medications on a regular basis (like benzodiazepines or opioids).

Thoughtful care > quick scripts.

We prescribe benzodiazepines very selectively, usually for short-term or acute anxiety and panic. They can be effective in the moment—but the research is clear that long-term, daily use is linked to dependence, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, increased fall risk, and cognitive impairment.

If you’re taking a benzodiazepine every day, the plan won’t be to keep it going indefinitely. Evidence-based guidelines support gradual tapering rather than chronic use, and we’ll work together on a slow, thoughtful plan that prioritizes safety. We focus on more sustainable treatments for anxiety—options with better long-term outcomes and fewer risks—because feeling better shouldn’t come at the cost of your future brain or body.
