At Aspen View Mental Health, we are committed to providing compassionate, inclusive care for the LGBTQ+ community throughout Colorado. We understand that members of the LGBTQIA+ population face unique mental health challenges tied to identity, discrimination, and access to care. Our team provides a safe, affirming environment where your story is honored and your identity is respected.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that LGBTQ+ people in Greeley and surrounding areas—including Denver and across Northern Colorado—have access to high-quality, evidence-based mental health services designed to promote resilience, healing, and authentic self-expression.
Understanding the Mental Health Needs of the LGBTQ+ Community
Studies show that LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation than their cisgender and heterosexual peers—largely due to stigma, discrimination, and lack of access to gender-affirming care. At Aspen View, we believe that identity should never be treated as a disorder. Instead, we center treatment on self-acceptance, empowerment, and holistic wellness.
Common challenges we address include:
- Minority stress and chronic anxiety related to identity or discrimination
- Depression, self-esteem, and body image issues
- Substance use as a coping mechanism for emotional pain
- Trauma and PTSD linked to rejection or violence
- Relationship and intimacy challenges
- Identity development, gender exploration, and self-acceptance
Our clinicians are trained to understand how these issues intersect with broader behavioral health conditions—ensuring every person receives individualized care rooted in respect and evidence-based practice.
Inclusive Care for All Gender Identities and Sexual Orientations
Our mental health treatment center in Greenly proudly serves lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, intersex, and questioning clients. We understand the complexity of navigating mental health as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, especially in systems that may not always affirm your identity.
At Aspen View, inclusivity isn’t just a statement—it’s a practice embedded in every aspect of care:
- Gender-Affirming Environments: We honor your chosen name, pronouns, and identity from your first contact onward.
- Culturally Competent Clinicians: Our therapists and psychiatrists receive ongoing training in LGBTQ+ mental health and trauma-informed care.
- Safe & Confidential Spaces: Whether in-person or via telehealth, you can share openly without fear of bias or judgment.
- Collaborative Advocacy: We connect clients to external supporters, including The Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline, and Colorado Crisis Services.
Everyone deserves access to health care that reflects their lived experiences and supports their authentic self.

Our Therapeutic Approach
At Aspen View Mental Health, treatment is both evidence-based and experientially grounded, ensuring that every session supports emotional regulation, healing, and self-discovery.
Therapies Offered:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps challenge negative thoughts and beliefs often shaped by stigma or rejection.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Supports emotional regulation and mindfulness for those managing intense emotions or trauma.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A proven trauma therapy that helps reprocess painful memories without reliving them.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages self-acceptance and values-based living for individuals exploring gender identity or sexual orientation.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): Builds internal motivation to make healthy changes, particularly for those addressing substance use.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores how past experiences and internal conflicts shape present struggles, especially for those who’ve experienced family rejection.
Through these evidenced-based therapies, clients learn coping skills, emotional awareness, and practical strategies to live more confidently and authentically.
Gender-Affirming and Identity-Focused Support
For many transgender and nonbinary individuals, finding affirming mental health care is a crucial step in overall wellness. Our team provides compassionate psychiatric support and therapy that align with your identity and transition goals.
Our gender-affirming care may include:
- Support for gender dysphoria and self-image challenges
- Letters for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender-affirming surgery referrals
- Emotional support through social and medical transition processes
- Guidance on navigating relationships, family dynamics, and disclosure
- Coordination with trusted healthcare providers across Colorado for integrated care
We collaborate with local and national resources such as Trans Lifeline, The Center on Colfax, and One Colorado to ensure every client receives holistic support.
