When you call 303-724-1646, you will be connected to a care coordinator. 

The care coordinator will ask about your presenting concern(s), what services you are interested in receiving, how you learned about our program, and some questions specific to your situation. 

The care coordinator may then discuss this information with our team to determine the optimal services for you that we can provide or if additional resources are needed. 

The care coordinator will then follow up with you after discussion with the team. If our services meet your needs, the care coordinator will then schedule an appointment at a time that works with your schedule. Appointments can be done either in-person or virtually and based on your preference. 

You will receive a welcome email with details about the appointment and the steps to complete prior to the appointment. Appointment meeting information will then be sent to you through the UCHealth patient portal, My Health Connection. If you do not have My Health Connection at the time of scheduling, a link will be provided in the welcome email to register for an account.

The short answer is no.

Reproductive psychiatrists within WBHW do not commonly test hormones or prescribe them. This might seem surprising given that reproductive psychiatrists are specially trained in understanding how changes in hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, influence mental health. However, women experiencing psychiatric symptoms related to reproductive transitions, such depression or anxiety during pregnancy, the postpartum, or menopause, rarely have abnormalities in their hormones. Instead, such psychiatric symptoms are generally caused by abnormalities in how the brain responds to normal variations in these hormones. Currently, the most effective treatments for these psychiatric symptoms are not typically hormones but rather certain types of psychiatric medications. WBHW reproductive psychiatrists have expertise in using these medications to treat psychiatric symptoms in women during reproductive transitions.

If your WBHW reproductive psychiatrist determines that hormone testing and/or hormone therapy may be appropriate (such as during the menopause transition), they will collaborate with your current primary care physician and obstetrician-gynecologist or provide you with a referral to a physician within the CU health system who specializes in hormone evaluation and treatment.

For women who are primarily interested in hormone testing and treatment as opposed to psychiatric evaluation and treatment, we recommend consulting with your primary care physician or obstetrician-gynecologist.

Along with psychiatric medications, WBHW reproductive psychiatrists will sometimes recommend evidence-based nutritional supplements to help treat a woman’s symptoms. However, these are used in conjunction with medications instead of as the primary treatment. For women who are who are primarily looking for complimentary and alternative therapies, other clinics might be a better fit.

Yes. An intake is required before beginning group therapy. Please contact us for more information.
