What is LGBTQIA+ affirming mental health treatment? It is evidence-based care that respects gender identity and sexual orientation, uses culturally competent clinicians, honors chosen names and pronouns, and integrates trauma-informed, gender-affirming practices into therapy and psychiatry.
Aspen View Mental Health offers licensed, evidence-based treatment programs with structured levels of care (PHP, IOP, outpatient), psychiatry services, medication management, and individualized treatment planning for long-term mental health stability and well-being.
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.
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:
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.
