Our Programs & Services

Mental Health Services in Colorado

Mental health treatment is essential for fostering emotional well-being, improving daily functioning, and helping individuals regain control over their lives. At Aspen View Mental Health, we recognize that mental health conditions can significantly impact a person’s ability to lead a fulfilling life. That’s why we provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our approach is rooted in compassion, understanding, and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to heal.

Our Levels of Care

At Aspen View Mental Health, we provide a range of structured mental health services designed to support individuals at different stages of their healing journey. Our programs are tailored to offer varying levels of care, ensuring that each patient receives the right balance of support, structure, and flexibility to meet their unique needs.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP is the most intensive level of outpatient care, offering a highly structured treatment environment without requiring overnight stays. Patients in PHP participate in multiple therapy sessions each day, including individual counseling, group therapy, and skills-based interventions. This program is ideal for those transitioning from inpatient care or individuals who need significant support but can safely live at home. PHP helps patients develop coping skills, regulate emotions, and establish a stable routine while receiving professional guidance.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

A step down from PHP, our IOP provides structured therapy while allowing more flexibility for daily responsibilities such as work, school, or family obligations. Patients typically attend therapy several times a week, participating in a combination of individual and group counseling, as well as skill-building exercises. This program is designed for those who require continued support but are ready to integrate their treatment into their everyday lives. IOP is an excellent option for individuals who have completed PHP or need more than standard outpatient care to maintain their progress.

Outpatient Services

Our outpatient program offers long-term mental health support through personalized therapy sessions, medication management, and other essential treatments. This level of care is ideal for individuals who have completed higher levels of treatment or those who need occasional support to maintain their mental wellness. Outpatient services focus on relapse prevention, ongoing therapy, and helping patients sustain the skills they’ve learned in more intensive programs. This flexible approach allows individuals to receive care while fully engaging in their daily lives.

Each of these services is designed to support individuals struggling with conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and insomnia. No matter where someone is in their recovery journey, we provide the necessary tools and guidance to foster lasting mental well-being.

Signs You May Need a Mental Health Program

While traditional counseling and individual therapy can be effective for many people, some individuals may require a higher level of care to address their mental health challenges. A structured mental health program—such as Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), or Outpatient Services—may be a better fit for those experiencing more severe or persistent symptoms. Here are some signs that indicate a person may benefit from a mental health program:
At Aspen View Mental Health, we specialize in helping individuals who need more than traditional counseling. Our PHP, IOP, and outpatient services offer structured care, evidence-based therapy, and professional support to help individuals regain stability and improve their overall well-being. If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, seeking a higher level of care can be a crucial step toward healing.

Mental Health Conditions We Treat at Aspen View Mental Health

A structured mental health program can be highly effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions. Unlike traditional therapy, which typically offers weekly sessions, mental health programs provide consistent, intensive, and evidence-based treatment that helps individuals develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and work toward long-term stability. At Aspen View Mental Health, our programs offer individualized care plans, therapeutic interventions, and professional support to help individuals regain control of their mental well-being.

We treat a variety of mental health conditions, including:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD can lead to difficulties with focus, impulse control, and organization. Without treatment, it can impact work, school, and personal relationships. Mental health programs provide behavioral therapy, medication management, and skill-building techniques to improve daily functioning.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders can cause excessive worry, panic attacks, and physical symptoms that interfere with daily life. Without proper treatment, anxiety can lead to avoidance behaviors, social withdrawal, and worsening emotional distress. Structured mental health treatment helps individuals develop coping mechanisms, manage triggers, and regain a sense of control.

Bipolar Disorder

Characterized by extreme mood swings between depressive lows and manic highs, bipolar disorder can disrupt daily functioning and relationships. Without consistent treatment, individuals may struggle with impulsive behaviors, emotional instability, and difficulties maintaining employment. A comprehensive mental health program helps stabilize moods through therapy, medication management, and structured support.

Depression

More than just sadness, depression can affect mood, energy levels, sleep, and motivation. Left untreated, it can lead to isolation, difficulty maintaining responsibilities, and even suicidal thoughts. Professional treatment provides therapy, medication management, and behavioral strategies to help individuals regain emotional stability and improve their quality of life.

Dual Diagnosis

When mental health conditions occur alongside substance abuse, they can intensify each other, making recovery more challenging. Without integrated treatment, individuals may struggle with relapse and worsening symptoms. A dual diagnosis program addresses both conditions simultaneously, improving long-term recovery outcomes.

Insomnia and Sleep Disorders

Chronic sleep disturbances can contribute to mental health issues such as insomnia. Without treatment, poor sleep can worsen emotional regulation and cognitive function. Therapy and sleep-focused interventions help individuals develop healthier sleep patterns and improve overall well-being.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can consume daily life. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen and lead to severe distress and impairment. Therapy helps individuals regain control over their thoughts and behaviors.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-traumatic stress disorder develops after experiencing trauma and can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness. Without treatment, PTSD can severely impact relationships, work, and overall mental well-being. A structured mental health program provides trauma-informed care to help individuals process their experiences and reduce the intensity of their symptoms.

Schizophrenia

This condition can cause hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, making it difficult to function independently. Without proper care, individuals may experience social isolation and difficulty managing daily tasks. Professional schizophrenia treatment provides therapy, medication, and coping strategies to improve reality perception and overall well-being.
