Welcome to Alleviant Health Centers of Denver.
Alleviant Health Centers is proud to bring integrative holistic psychiatry to the Mile High City and the surrounding metro area. Our owner, Chris Perez, CRNA, is passionate about helping his community members find and heal the root cause of their discomfort with the combination of traditional and innovative holistic modalities. We’re honored to serve the community of Denver and welcome everyone on the search for holistic healing and optimal wellness.
We help people suffering from mood disorders and chronic pain using innovative holistic treatments.
Talk Therapy
Our therapists offer hour-long therapy sessions for patients who wish to release depression, make changes in their behavior, heal broken relationships, and process trauma. We used research-based regimens such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and some of our therapists and counselors also offer life coaching, substance abuse, and addiction recovery, marriage counseling, family therapy, and more.
Medication Management
Medication management appointments are a chance for providers and patients to discuss medication use and efficacy so that the provider can adjust or change doses as needed and refill prescriptions. These sessions are conducted by a psychiatric nurse practitioner or a psychiatrist.
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine Infusions are an effective treatment for mood disorders and certain pain conditions. Approximately 70% of patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms – many during the first infusion. Ketamine infusion therapy requires multiple infusions over a short period of time, and range from one to several hours, depending on the diagnosis.
SPRAVATOTM
SPRAVATO™, also known as esketamine, is a nasal spray that rapidly alleviates depressive symptoms and when used in conjunction with therapy, assists in rapid healing of treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders. The approval of this drug by the FDA is considered to be one of the most significant advances in mental health in the last 30 years, as now patients who have failed 2 or more antidepressants have a safe, fast-acting, solution that is covered by insurance. Our clinic is one of the first in Colorado to become certified for Spravato™ administration, and we are happy to offer this FDA-approved treatment to the community of Denver, CO.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is a non-invasive procedure for treatment-resistant depression. It delivers magnetic impulses through an electromagnetic coil to the prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain associated with mood control. TMS helps nerves begin to communicate again and reinforces positive nerve pathways. Therapy takes place five days a week for four to six weeks. Each treatment lasts less than 4 minutes. TMS is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. We preauthorize patients to make sure that their insurance is accepted.
Telebehavioral Health
Many patients live very busy lives not allowing them to see their psychiatric provider when needed. Our telepsychiatric services allow for remote appointments with our providers including psychiatric evaluations, talk therapy, and medication management. These appointments can be facilitated through a desktop computer or a mobile app, allowing our patients to have very simple access to care. All of our clinicians have completed 26 hrs of telehealth training to maintain the highest level of excellence in providing telebehavioral health care that meets the standards of care in telehealth.
We see people with the following health conditions:
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and apathy. It affects how you feel, think, and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems.
Postpartum depression is moderate to severe depression in a woman after she has given birth. It may occur soon after delivery or up to a year later. Most of the time, it occurs within the first three months after delivery.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological reaction occurring after experiencing a highly stressful event (such as wartime combat, physical violence, or a natural disaster) that is usually characterized by depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the event.
Anxiety is a persistent feeling of apprehension and fear, characterized by physical symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, and feelings of stress. Anxiety disorders are a group of mental illnesses including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder sometimes called manic-depression which involves cycles of depression and elation or mania. It is characterized by unpredictable changes in mood and impaired social function.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent obsessions or compulsions or both that cause significant distress, are time-consuming or interfere with normal daily functioning, and are recognized by the individual affected as excessive or unreasonable.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and stiffness of muscles and associated connective tissue structures that is typically accompanied by fatigue, headache, and sleep disturbances.
Migraine headaches are recurring headaches characterized by severe throbbing pain, dizziness, and light and sound sensitivity during the acute phase. The disorder occurs more frequently in women than men, and a predisposition to migraine may be inherited.
CRPS a condition of unknown pathogenesis that causes chronic pain in part or all of the arms and legs. It is characterized by severe and often burning pain. CRPS is often accompanied by swelling, skin discoloration, abnormal sweating, and impaired motor function in the affected area.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of joints. Rheumatoid disease can also involve inflammation of tissues in other areas of the body, such as the lungs, heart, and eyes.
Peripheral neuropathy is a disease or degenerative state of the peripheral nerves in which motor, sensory, or vasomotor nerve fibers may be affected and which is marked by muscle weakness and atrophy, pain, and numbness.
Sciatica refers to pain or discomfort associated with the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower part of the spinal cord, down the back of the leg, and to the foot. Injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause the characteristic pain of sciatica: a sharp or burning pain that radiates from the lower back or hip, possibly following the path of the sciatic nerve to the foot.
