Relief Mental Health Expands Access with Denver Clinic

Relief Mental Health has taken a significant step to address mental health challenges in Colorado by opening its first clinic in Denver, marking the organization’s 12th location since its inception. Founded in Oak Brook, Illinois in 2020, Relief Mental Health has rapidly expanded to meet growing demand for innovative and accessible mental health services.

As mental health statistics reveal a rising crisis in Colorado, Relief aims to provide quick and personalized care solutions to those in need. Susan Mueller, the CEO of Relief Mental Health, emphasizes that “mental health doesn’t wait—and neither should patients,” advocating for immediate assistance within days of a patient’s first inquiry. This commitment is crucial, as Colorado faces worsening mental health issues, with over 25% of residents reporting poor mental health according to the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey.

Innovative Treatment Options

The new Denver clinic features two primary services: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), administered by a board-certified psychiatrist, and therapy provided by licensed professionals. TMS is a non-invasive FDA-approved treatment designed to stimulate brain areas responsible for mood regulation. It’s a particularly effective solution for individuals who have not found relief through traditional methods such as medication or talk therapy.

Using BrainsWay Deep TMS™ technology, Relief offers one of the most advanced approaches available for treating depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Patients benefit from a comfortable clinical setting where they can receive targeted magnetic stimulation without the need for anesthesia. With treatment sessions lasting approximately 20 minutes, patients can easily incorporate these visits into their daily routines, typically attending five days a week.

Notably, many insurance policies cover Deep TMS when medical criteria are met, making this cutting-edge treatment an accessible option for those who qualify.

Addressing Statewide Mental Health Needs

The mental health situation in Colorado is critical. The Colorado Health Institute indicates that 2.8 million residents—almost half the state’s population—live in areas lacking sufficient mental health professionals. Furthermore, barriers to access are exacerbated for younger adults and marginalized groups, with significant rates of reported mental health challenges. For instance, 54.4% of LGBTQ+ Coloradans experience poor mental health, which is nearly double the rate of their heterosexual and cisgender peers.

Relief Mental Health is determined to bridge the gap in access to mental health services through its prompt and tailored treatment approach. The organization’s care model focuses on utilizing evidence-based therapies while fostering a compassionate environment where patients can feel safe seeking the help they need.

For those in need of support or further information, Relief Mental Health encourages prospective patients to reach out by calling 855.205.4764, emailing info@reliefmh.com, or visiting their website at reliefmh.com. The organization is dedicated to establishing a new standard in mental healthcare, ensuring that individuals in Colorado can receive timely and effective treatment.
