How to find the right psychiatrist in Colorado

When choosing a psychiatrist in Colorado, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a psychiatrist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a psychiatrist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Psychiatrists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available psychiatrists who accept your insurance.

“Using small but frequent mindfulness strategies can make a big impact over time. For example, the next time you’re eating, take a bite, and pull your focus inward. Try to chew slowly and taste what you’re eating. Try to relax your body and notice how you’re feeling. This simple exercise can last a few seconds, but, over time, it can make being present feel more accessible.”

Advantages of online psychiatric care

Online psychiatric care is convenient, flexible, and offers access to providers no matter where you live.
