Relief Mental Health Opens First Colorado Clinic in Denver, Expanding Access to Rapid, Innovative Care

Trending...
DENVER, May 28, 2025 ~ Denver, Colorado - Relief Mental Health, an award-winning outpatient provider of innovative mental health services, has announced the opening of its 12th clinic in Denver. This marks the first clinic in Colorado for the organization, bringing their mission of expedited and personalized care to a state where mental health needs are urgent and growing.

The Denver clinic will offer two core services: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) administered by a board-certified psychiatrist and therapy provided by licensed professional counselors. In the coming months, additional offerings such as SPRAVATO® (esketamine) and psychiatric medication management will also be introduced.

According to Susan Mueller, founder and CEO of Relief Mental Health, timely access to mental health care is crucial. "Mental health doesn't wait - and neither should patients," she stated. "We're committed to seeing new patients within a week of their first call, if not days, because timely access can make all the difference."

One of the cutting-edge treatments offered at Relief Mental Health is TMS. This non-invasive treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is primarily used to treat depression and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), especially in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy.

Relief's TMS treatment utilizes BrainsWay Deep TMS™ technology, which is considered the most advanced and effective treatment available. Patients sit comfortably in a clinical setting while a specialized helmet delivers targeted magnetic stimulation to deeper brain structures. Treatment sessions typically last about 20 minutes and are done five days a week over several weeks. Deep TMS is well-tolerated, does not require anesthesia, and allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately after.

In addition to being highly effective, Deep TMS is also accessible for those who qualify as it is typically covered by insurance when medical criteria are met.

The opening of Relief's Denver clinic comes at a critical time for Colorado, as the state faces significant mental health challenges. According to the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey, more than one in four Coloradans reported poor mental health, the highest rate ever recorded by the survey. Additionally, 17 percent of residents - approximately 880,000 people - reported being unable to access the mental health care they needed, with timely appointments being a major barrier.

The situation is even more dire for younger adults and marginalized communities. The survey found that more than a third of individuals aged 18-50 reported serious mental health challenges, and LGBTQ+ Coloradans experienced poor mental health at nearly double the rate of their straight and cisgender counterparts.

These access issues are compounded by a shortage of mental health professionals in the state. The Colorado Health Institute reports that almost half of Colorado's population lives in areas designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas.

Relief Mental Health is committed to addressing these gaps by offering prompt and individualized treatment. With a focus on evidence-based therapies and an empathetic approach, Relief aims to reduce the burden of mental health diagnoses in Colorado communities.
