Getting a Psychiatric Appointment in Aurora

Aurora spans three counties (Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas) and is home to the Anschutz Medical Campus, Buckley Space Force Base and one of the most diverse populations in Colorado, including large refugee and immigrant communities. Despite the medical campus, getting a new-patient psychiatry appointment with commercial insurance can take weeks. Video visits shorten that to a day or two. Patients join from Original Aurora, Southlands, Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach and Murphy Creek.

We also provide immigration psychological evaluations by telehealth for Aurora families who need them for hardship waivers or asylum cases.
