What if the bravest thing you could do this year was talk about what you are really going through

Today, we are proud to announce the launch of The Brave Podcast.

This podcast was born out of a simple truth. So many people in Colorado are quietly carrying depression, anxiety, and burnout. They are showing up to work. They are posting on social media. They are taking care of everyone else. And yet, behind closed doors, they are asking themselves, Why does this feel so hard

The Brave Podcast exists to answer that question with honesty, science, and heart

Every Friday, singer turned mental health advocate Katy McAllister sits down with Axis Integrated Mental Health’s Darian Garcia to talk about what mental health struggle really looks like. Not the polished version. The real version.

In our first episode, Katy opens up about her journey from stage fright to her first recording with Tyler Ward, the thrill of popularity, the million hit moment on Spotify, and the professional studio experiences that many artists dream about. But she also shares the other side. The fear. The pressure. The night her name was on the marquee at the Bluebird Theater in Colorado and she was freaking out backstage. The moments when drinking slowly became a problem. The quiet question in her head asking, Were people even listening

Our teams did a little happy dance reading this! Thanks "JD" for making our Friday a little happier with your kindness.

"There's a difference between mental health practices that exist to maximize profit and ones that genuinely care about patient outcomes and community impact. Axis Integrated Mental Health is clearly the latter. They were named Colorado's top Spravato clinic and startup of the year not because of marketing, but because they're dedicated to transforming lives through evidence-based innovative treatments. Their passion for making mental healthcare accessible shows in how they've invested resources into specialized treatments like TMS and Spravato therapy - interventions that many Colorado practices don't offer because they're complex and require real commitment. If you're researching Spravato treatment for treatment-resistant depression in Colorado, or you're looking for a mental health practice that prioritizes clinical innovation and community wellbeing over profit margins, Axis is doing the work that actually changes the landscape of mental healthcare in Denver and Boulder."

Another Friday, another patient story! Thanks "J" for sharing your experience with us!

"This was genuinely the best healthcare experience I've had in years - and I'm including all types of healthcare, not just mental health. She really listened, expressed genuine concern instead of clinical detachment, made sure she understood the full scope of what I was dealing with, then worked quickly to find solutions that actually helped. After so many medical appointments where I left feeling unheard or dismissed, finally experiencing a provider who treated me like a whole person deserving of thorough attention was profound. If you're in Denver researching mental health providers after bad experiences in general healthcare - you're tired of rushed appointments, dismissive doctors, or feeling like just another number - Axis Integrated Mental Health sets a different standard. This is how healthcare should work: attentive, responsive, genuinely concerned about outcomes. Feeling heard shouldn't be remarkable, but in modern healthcare it is."

We’re honored to be featured in Axios Denver today and bring more attention to our premier partners.

This story highlights the power of local mental health providers teaming up to tackle Colorado’s growing mental health needs together. When clinics collaborate instead of competing, patients win.

At Axis Integrated Mental Health, we believe care works best when it stays local, values-driven, and deeply connected to the communities we serve.

Thank you to our partners, our team, and everyone who believes mental healthcare can and should be better.

We're excited to announce that Axis has partnered with KindBridge Behavior Health. Through this partnership, we aim to enable easy access to gambling addiction therapy in Colorado.

“Most people want help for their compulsive behaviors but are unsure of where to even start,” said Liesl Perez, Axis Integrated Mental Health’s Cofounder. “This partnership makes it easier for people to start care easily with specialized therapy, then get cutting-edge treatments that can deliver better results than just medication or therapy alone.”

Hey Frani, one of our patients left you a message!

"Continuity in mental health care is underrated. I've been working with Frani for a long time now - even followed her when she transitioned from Lifestance to Axis Integrated Mental Health - because finding a therapist who genuinely knows you and has walked with you through difficult periods is rare. She's provided support through some of the hardest times in my life with consistent expertise, kindness, and patience. There's something powerful about not having to re-explain your history every time, working with someone who remembers your patterns and knows what strategies have worked before. If you're in Colorado researching long-term therapy relationships instead of short-term interventions - you need someone who's invested in your ongoing wellbeing, not just symptom management - Frani at Axis represents what sustained, high-quality mental health care looks like. Feeling seen, heard, and genuinely safe in therapy has been transformative."

You’re the one who takes care of everyone. The parent. The healthcare worker. The high-achiever. The "helper."

You’re the one everyone turns to. You’re strong. You’re capable. And you are completely, utterly burned out.

You’re running on empty, and the "check engine" light has been on for months. But who takes care of you?

Tori Kause does. She specializes in helping the helpers. She gets the unique pressure that high-achievers, parents, and healthcare workers are under. She understands that your burnout isn't a personal failing; it's a human response to an impossible load.

She uses a holistic approach, looking at the whole picture. This isn't just a 15-minute med check. She’ll talk about your sleep, your nutrition, your lifestyle, and your stress. She’s here to help you put your own oxygen mask on first.

Tori is accepting new patients via telehealth across Colorado. It's your turn to be taken care of: https://axismh.com/provider/tori-kause/

Finding neurodivergent-affirming mental health care is exhausting. Most therapists say they "work with ADHD" or autism but then push neurotypical coping strategies that don't work for how our brains actually function. Francis (Frani) at Axis Integrated Mental Health is different - she's genuinely neurodivergent-affirming, not just claiming it.

Here's what one of our patient's said, "She's collaborative, includes me in treatment planning instead of prescribing solutions, and her approach feels like partnership rather than "fixing" me. She's also funny and kind, which matters when you dread appointments. Sessions don't feel like clinical work; they feel like problem-solving with someone who actually gets it. If you're neurodivergent and in the Denver/Boulder area researching therapists after experiences with providers who didn't understand autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergence - who pathologized instead of affirmed - Francis is the kind of clinician who makes therapy actually accessible. I'd follow her to a new facility, which is exactly why I did when she joined Axis."

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Axis Integrated Mental Health and Banyan Counseling Collective.

This collaboration reflects a shared belief that women deserve clarity, not guesswork, and options, not one size fits all care.

Depression and burnout do not show up the same way for every woman. Hormones matter. Neurodiversity matters. Trauma history matters. Life stage matters. Insurance access matters. When care ignores these realities, women are often left feeling misunderstood or blamed when the first treatment does not work.

By bringing together deep therapeutic work and integrated psychiatric care, this partnership helps ensure women do not have to start over, advocate harder, or settle for partial answers. Different paths are valid. Trying more than one approach is valid. Needing advanced care is valid.

What is not acceptable is a system that treats complexity as a problem instead of a reality.

This partnership is for women who know something is off and want real, personalized options for getting better.

What if your brain isn't "broken," it's just "different"?

For so many people struggling with ADHD, life feels like you’re constantly "behind" or "failing." The forgotten appointments, the lost keys, the projects you can't quite finish. It’s exhausting, and the "lazy" or "scattered" label that's haunted you for years has probably brought along friends named Anxiety and Depression.

Tiffany Lawrence is here to help you work with your brain, not against it.

She is an ADHD specialist whose entire practice is built on a "patient-first," non-judgmental foundation. She’s not here to "fix" you; she’s here to be your partner.

She works with you to set realistic, achievable goals that build momentum and confidence. She helps you understand how your brain works so you can build a life that works for you.

Medication management shouldn't feel like guesswork, but with a lot of psychiatrists it does. You start something, have side effects or it doesn't work, wait months for a follow-up, repeat. Ross Van Allen at Axis Integrated Mental Health approaches psychiatric medication completely differently.

Here's what one of our patients said, "He actually listens when I report what's working and what isn't, makes thoughtful adjustments instead of just adding more prescriptions, and explains his clinical reasoning so I understand the treatment plan. I feel safe discussing concerns because he's genuinely invested in finding the right approach for me specifically, not following a one-size-fits-all protocol. He's why I keep coming back to Axis instead of switching providers again. If you're in Denver or Westminster researching psychiatrists because previous medication management felt dismissive or ineffective - you reported problems and got brushed off - Ross represents the gold standard for responsive, collaborative psychiatric care."
