Yes. I partner with Headway to offer in-network care with many major plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and SelectHealth. You can verify your coverage and see your estimated cost before your first appointment. See all plans and fees.
-
I’m not currently able to accept Medicare or Medicaid.
-
Yes. Private pay is available for clients who prefer not to use insurance and offers more flexibility and privacy. Initial evaluations are $350 and follow-up visits are $250. I can also provide a superbill if you’d like to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
-
Many women can. Several medications for depression and anxiety are considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding. We’ll review your options together, weighing the benefits and risks, so you can make the choice that feels right for you and your baby.
-
Selora Psychiatric Care is currently a fully telehealth-based practice. At this time, stimulant and other Schedule II controlled medications are not routinely prescribed as part of the practice model.
However, comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, non-stimulant treatment options, medication consultation, and collaborative care recommendations are available when appropriate. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on each patient’s history, symptoms, goals, and clinical needs.
-
Initial psychiatric evaluation: 60 minutes
Therapy + medication management: 60 minutes
One-time consultation or second opinion: 60 minutes
Each visit is tailored to your needs and goals.
-
All appointments are by secure telehealth, so you can access care from home. Your baby is always welcome on screen.

I see adults anywhere in Colorado by telehealth. You’ll need to be physically located in Colorado during each appointment.

I’m currently accepting new clients and can usually see new patients within [timeframe]. You can view available times when booking through Headway.

No. You can book directly. With your permission, I’m also happy to coordinate with your OB, midwife, primary care provider, or therapist.
-
Yes. I offer a free 15-minute call to answer your questions and see if we’re a good fit. Request a consultation.

Care at Selora is thoughtful, collaborative, and built around the full picture, not just symptoms. I consider the role of hormones, life transitions, stress, and identity in your mental health, and we work together to create a plan that feels supportive and sustainable.
