LIVES T O U C H E D
Since 2018, the Department of Psychiatry has aimed to quantify the number of “Lives Touched” by departmental services, including direct clinical care, doc-to-doc consultations, trainings, and other educational offerings. Lives touched are reported by mission area. A “life touched” is defined as anyone who has received a service or gained in some way by interacting with the department. Number of lives touched has grown year over year since the inception of this project, increasing from 17,534 in Fiscal Year-19 to 90,731 in Fiscal Year-24.
“Reach,” over 1.1 million for Fiscal Year-24, is also tracked and refers to 1) anyone who has accessed materials via the website, social media, research studies, scholarly papers and other offerings. Our reach for Fiscal Year-24 was over 1.1 million.
OUR DIVISIONS
To best serve this mission brain health for all, for life in meaningful and specialized ways, the Department is comprised of five divisions. All divisions have dual- pair faculty and staff leadership to ensure the progression and growth of all team members.

NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Adult Division has undergone dramatic growth and expansion of services in the last six years, growing from 63 faculty in 2018 to 145 faculty in 2024 (a 130% increase). The faculty span a broad array of disciplines, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, licensed professional counselors, and marital and family therapists.
The clinical services have expanded in both general and specialty psychiatric and integrated care settings. Specialty focus areas include mood disorders, OCD, refugee mental health, neuromodulation/interventional psychiatry, trauma and disaster-related care, women's behavioral health and wellness/reproductive psychiatry, executive functioning, and early psychosis. Psychologists or licensed prepared therapists are integrated into family medicine, internal medicine, OB, neurology, PM&R, bariatrics, transplant, and burn unit. The Division houses clinical services for the Anschutz campus, including faculty/staff (and their families) mental health, student/resident mental health, and additional UCH services (consult-liaison psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatry, addiction psychiatry).
Services have been provided to Coloradans in 466 out of 513 (90%) Colorado ZIP codes in the last 5 years and clinical care has been provided to people from all 50 states. The Division is also strategically partnering with CU Innovations to seed innovations in mental health care.

Innovative Mental Health Care: TMS Offers Hope Where Traditional Treatments Fall Short
Collaborators: Elizabeth Fenstermacher and Christopher Schneck
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate parts of the brain. It offers hope for people struggling with conditions like treatment-resistant depression, obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and nicotine addiction, particularly when traditional treatments like medication or therapy haven't worked.
Since the spring 2022, the Department of Psychiatry TMS Clinic has transformed the lives of over 100 patients who faced severe, long-term depression. TMS has not only been effective for depression but is also being explored as a solution for other tough-to-treat conditions, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and eating disorders. What makes this service so special is the way the team tailors care to each individual, understanding that one-size-fits-all approaches don’t always work, especially in mental health.
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and is greatly impactful to one’s wellbeing. This makes the need for innovative treatments like TMS even more urgent, as they can help people get back to living fulfilling and content lives.
The service has expanded, making treatment more accessible and improving the enrollment process so patients can start their TMS journey sooner. Plans to publish findings will help spread awareness and knowledge about TMS, contributing to the future of mental healthcare. TMS is a beacon of hope for those who feel out of options, offering a personal and effective path to recovery.

Empowering the Community: Anschutz Mental Health Services
Collaborators: Stephanie Lehto and Julie Wolfe
The Anschutz Campus Mental Health (ACMH) services provide comprehensive support for the wellbeing of faculty, staff, students, and residents, ensuring access to world-class mental health care. Accepting most insurance plans through CU, the program is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by those working and learning in a high-pressure environment and committed to fostering a healthy, balanced community. The interdisciplinary team collaborates to create tailored care plans, integrating the latest research with compassionate support. Collaborations with a network of community providers allows for external referrals if preferred by the patient, covered by the insurance plan, and as needed due to provider expertise.
Since 2009, Student and Resident Mental Health has continuously expanded allowing the service line to increase provider availability. The program addresses barriers to access by offering walk-in, after-hours and same-day appointments as well as 24/7 on-call coverage by psychiatry faculty. When utilizing on-campus care, learners with the student-sponsored insurance have access to an unlimited number of visits with zero copay for covered diagnoses. Over 9000 visits were completed from July of 2023 to June of 2024.
Faculty and Staff Mental Health saw over 450 patients in Fiscal Year-24 and continued outreach on campus to promote clinic services to better serve more of our community. Ongoing partnership with the Department of Orthopedics provides mental health and wellness support by being a readily accessible resource through individual therapy appointments, consultation with leadership and presentations. The service line also provide consultation to departments and programs on campus needing mental health support and resources, truly serving the entire campus community.

C O M M U N I T YI M P A C T
The Division of Child & Adolescent Mental Health is committed to impacting community wellness in many capacities. Highlighted here are two endeavors aimed at improving access to care in Colorado.
The Colorado Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation and Access Program (CoPPCAP)
Collaborator: Sandra Fritsch
The Colorado Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation and Access Program (CoPPCAP) supports pediatric primary care providers in managing mild to moderate mental health concerns. Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, CoPPCAP offers peer-to-peer consultations, one-time diagnostic consultations, resource identification, and educational opportunities. A key component is the ECHO series, which connects rural providers with experts for regular discussions and includes parent panelists to address developmental and behavioral issues. The program also emphasizes provider wellness to reduce moral distress.
The program addresses the significant shortage of child psychiatrists in Colorado, advocating for a population health approach to empower primary care providers to manage mental health issues. While addressing this shortage, there is still a focus on serving the youth. There are comprehensive resources, including management plans, tools, guides, and evidence-based handouts for families. CoPPCAP has seen increased engagement and has become a model for similar programs in other states.
Looking forward, CoPPCAP plans to expand its reach, particularly in rural areas, with new grant funding. The program's innovative approaches, including parent involvement and provider self-care, are vital in addressing the mental health needs of Colorado's youth, particularly in preventing suicide.
Traverse Academy: A New Approach to Mental Health and Education Integration
Collaborator: Sarah Kennedy
The Traverse Academy, established within the Cherry Creek School District, supports students with significant mental health challenges by providing coordinated educational and intensive outpatient care. The Academy was created to address difficulties in transitioning students back to school after intensive treatment, amidst a rise in student suicides. In its first year, it successfully served 49 out of 59 students who completed intake evaluations. "They are reporting liking being here, they're feeling safe here, we're seeing really good progress in the students here," said Traverse Academy principal, Kim Avalos.
Traverse Academy positively impacts students' mental health and school engagement, with improvements noted in behavior and academic performance. It integrates clinical and educational models, operating as a separate facility within the district to provide intensive treatment and prepare students for a smooth transition back to regular schooling.
It also addresses communication gaps during transitions from intensive care to schools by streamlining communication and coordinating care between therapists, schools, and families. Additionally, the broader mental health program in the district has shown success in supporting students with mental health concerns, emphasizing innovation and collaboration between the district, clinical providers, and families.
Pediatric Mental Health Institute Strategy and the Continuum of Care:
C R I S I S S T R A T E G I C P L A N
Collaborators: Beau Carubia, Collette Fischer and Jessica Hawks
The Crisis Strategic Plan is making a real difference in the lives of children and teens struggling with mental health crises. By focusing on urgent care and closing gaps in the system, it’s already helping young people get the support they need, when they need it most.
The plan centers on three key changes: improving psychiatric evaluations in emergency rooms, creating a crisis stabilization unit, and opening a rapid access crisis clinic for youth. The clinic, which started this May, is designed for kids aged 10 to 17. It offers immediate care, support, and medication management for those facing serious mental health challenges, like thoughts of suicide. This clinic has become a lifeline, ensuring that vulnerable young people don’t fall through the cracks between emergency visits and long-term care.
The need for this kind of intervention is urgent. Suicide rates among teens in Colorado are rising, and more kids are showing up in ERs with behavioral health emergencies. This plan is helping hospitals respond quickly and effectively, offering real hope to families in crisis.
Beyond that, the plan is expanding to reach more children across Colorado and surrounding areas, ensuring that no matter where they are, families can access help. It also recognizes how crucial family support is, offering resources to help parents and caregivers navigate these tough times.
By using data, evidence-based practices, and even AI, this initiative is not just about immediate care—it’s about preventing future crises. It’s a compassionate, forwardthinking approach that’s already changing lives.

Choline Research to Colorado Legislation: A Holistic Approach to Perinatal and Mental Health
Collaborator: Sharon Hunter
Started in 2004, the Developmental Research Group began a small clinical trial and has since expanded to larger community cohort studies exploring higher doses of choline. Choline is an essential nutrient that plays a role in many critical functions in the body, including brain growth and development, cell structure, and neurotransmitter synthesis. The findings highlight the importance of choline in improving pregnancy outcomes, such as reducing prematurity and attention problems in newborns.
Leading to collaborations with policymakers, healthcare professionals, and organizations like the American Medical Association, which endorsed choline in 2017, has helped bring the issue into the public eye.
Colorado Senate Bill 24-175 (SB24-175) - Improving Perinatal Health Outcomes, was approved June 5, 2024, and seeks to improve mental health services by enforcing insurance parity, ensuring mental health and substance use disorder treatments are covered equally with physical health services. It aims to expand coverage for a range of treatments and increase access through telehealth, particularly in underserved areas. The bill addresses the shortage of mental health professionals by funding workforce development and supporting crisis intervention services.
Overall, the bill has opportunities to improve access to care, reduce costs for patients, and promote health equity, continuing Colorado’s efforts toward comprehensive mental health reform.
A Decade of Discovery: How the Brain Imaging Center is Shaping the Future of Research at Anschutz
Collaborator: Jason Tregellas
The Department’s Brain Imaging Center (BIC), Directed by Jason Tregellas, PhD, began providing state-ofthe-art imaging capabilities in 2003. Initially funded by a grant from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, the BIC’s use has expanded to support many Departments and Schools across the Anschutz Medical Campus and our affiliates, including the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center and Children’s Hospital Colorado, as well as other regional institutions, such as Colorado State University and the University of Denver.
In 2015, Dr. Tregellas was awarded an NIH High-End Instrumentation Grant to purchase the Center’s current Siemens Skyra 3T scanner. The magnet was a wide-bore system to facilitate the campus’ growing portfolio of obesity and diabetes research. While this scanner continues to enable a wide breadth of research, Dr. Tregellas recently was awarded another NIH High-End Instrumentation grant to expand the BIC’s imaging capacity and capabilities, a needed step given the tremendous growth of imaging on campus.
As an illustration of the volume of research supported by the BIC, in the prior ten years alone, the BIC has enabled 80 NIH grants across 50 Principal Investigators, who have secured $116 million in NIH funding. Research funded by the VA and myriad foundation and industry sources has also been supported. With the addition of the GE Premier XT scanner in 2025, the BIC looks forward to further supporting and expanding the current and next generation of imaging research in our Department and across campus.
Tracy L. Bale, PhD serves as the Director for InterGenerational Stress and Health as well as the director for the Department of Psychiatry Sex Differences Research. Her work uses model organisms like mice to study cellular mechanisms and apply these findings to human biology, particularly focusing on how stress and adversity affect the brain during critical life stages such as puberty and pregnancy. Her collaboration with Neill Epperson has led to significant discoveries about why certain physiological changes during pregnancy and postpartum increase the risk of mental health disorders in women.
Tracy’s research also explores how stress impacts fertility and embryo development, with consistent findings across mice and humans. While stress may initially enhance reproductive outcomes as an adaptive mechanism, it can lead to long-term health issues such as autism, schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety.
Tracy was invited to the White House in recognition of her work on women’s health, where she attended the signing of an Executive Order to fund women’s health research. She also met Dr. Jill Biden as part of her April 20, 2024 visit to CU for the Ludeman’s Family Center for Women’s Health Research which showcased important research in women’s health and sex differences.
Her recent achievements include an acceptance into the National Academy of Medicine, as well as advancements in biomarker research, particularly focusing on extracellular vesicles, which have potential in early detection of mental health conditions and other diseases.
Tracy emphasizes the importance of community engagement and clear communication in research, advocating for a respectful approach to sharing scientific knowledge.

Reaching the Underserved: How Mobile Unit Team Is Transforming Opioid Use Disorder Care
Collaborator: Angela Bonaguidi
The mobile methadone unit from Addiction Research & Treatment Services (ARTS) plays a crucial role in making opioid use disorder treatment more accessible. Since the DEA moratorium was lifted in July 2021, these vans have become a lifeline for people who struggle to reach traditional treatment centers. Under new, more flexible SAMHSA guidelines, these mobile units now offer both in-person and virtual services, traveling daily from their base locations to provide care where it's needed most.
This mobile unit, which has been in the works for two years, doesn’t just provide medication-assisted treatment—it offers peer recovery support, counseling, and medical care. By focusing on areas like Denver, Arapahoe, and Jefferson counties, the program is bridging gaps for those who need it most. Early signs show that this hands-on, communitybased approach is truly making a difference in people’s lives.
As fentanyl overdoses continue to rise, there’s a growing recognition that current treatment options need to expand. The program is exploring ways to better address fentanyl addiction while also ensuring that life-saving medications like naloxone are readily available to reverse overdoses.
CU has supported the mobile methadone unit’s innovative approach to care, highlighting the program’s value in delivering services to historically underserved patients. These initiatives are about more than just treatment—they're about meeting people where they are and giving them the tools to reclaim their lives.

Measurement-Assisted Care (MAC)
Collaborator: Allison Dempsey and Dana Steidtmann
The Measurement-Assisted Care (MAC) program is an interdisciplinary quality improvement effort to increase the use of measurement-based care in Department of Psychiatry outpatient clinics. Measurement-based care is the use of repeated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to inform treatment at the level of the individual patient. It is widely regarded as a best practice in mental health care.
In MAC, patients are prompted to complete regular questionnaires about their mental health in the online patient portal prior to their clinic visits. These data become available to clinicians in the Electronic Medical Record for use during visits. In the first year of the program, MAC was implemented in 6 adult outpatient clinics with 4,665 unique patients and 175 clinicians. PROM questionnaire completion rates increased from 5% to 60% or higher in MAC clinics. More than 90% of clinicians reported PROM data was useful in working with patients and 78% reported they used PROMs to guide care.
In the 2nd year of MAC, the program has expanded to additional adult outpatient clinics and is planned to expand further to integrated behavioral health settings and youth. There will also be efforts to refine workflows to increase completion of PROMs for in-person visits.
Breaking Boundaries: Psilocybin’s
Role in Treating Depression
Andy Novick, MD, PhD is an assistant professor focused on understanding the effects of sex steroids on the brain, and evaluating novel drug therapies for psychiatric disorders, specifically psychedelics. He is currently leading a clinical trial investigating psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, as a treatment for treatment-resistant depression. The trial involves administering either a psychedelic dose or a placebo to participants, with outcomes measured through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and assessments of depression severity. This study aims to better understand how psilocybin can help patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Setting up the trial required extensive preparation, including designing protocols, obtaining FDA and DEA approvals, and training a specialized team. The study involves 40 participants and will run for over a year, using neuroimaging and blood tests to identify biomarkers related to psilocybin response.
Under the Brain and Behavior Innovation Center’s focus in novel therapeutics, Andy's team is also exploring innovative treatments for difficult-to-treat symptoms of depression, using a rigorous scientific approach that focuses on brain function rather than self-reported symptoms. His work in psychedelicassisted therapies marks an exciting shift in psychiatric treatment, with the potential to provide new solutions for patients with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

ANNUAL L U N C H E O N
Checking In With Michelle Williams
Written by Korrina Duffy
In the fall of 2023 the Johnson Depression Center held its 13th Annual Luncheon with keynote speaker Michelle Williams, a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and now author, who first rose to stardom as a member of the band Destiny’s Child. The luncheon’s mission is simple: to raise money for mental health education and treatment while reducing mental health stigma. This year, the luncheon raised an astonishing $500,500 prior to the luncheon and $84,500 in donations from the attendees during a paddle raise. These efforts are paying off. In 2022, Colorado had a decrease in its suicide rate while the country overall showed an increase. After the fundraiser, the audience heard from Elizabeth Lee, a successful business owner as well as a patient at the Johnson Depression Center. She delivered a powerful speech on her transformational experience receiving a diagnosis and treatment for bipolar II disorder. Next, Michelle Williams spoke about her mental health journey. She was predictably glamorous but strikingly humble as she talked about her anxiety and depression that started in fourth grade when she was bullied and persisted with intermittent bouts throughout adulthood. Checking herself into a treatment facility for depression in July 2018 was a pivotal moment. Now, she speaks to the strength of being able to say “I need help” and encourages everyone to check in with themselves and others on their mental health. Her story is the basis for her recent memoir “Checking In: How Getting Real about Depression Saved My Life—and Can Save Yours,” and she signed free copies of it for attendees. The standing ovations that both received were an emotional reminder of how many stand with those who are brave enough to give voice to the mental health struggles that touch all our lives. The packed ballroom was a hopeful sign that so many people are willing to gather today to foster a better tomorrow.
Regardless of what it cost me to check in, I had come to realize it was a bargain compared to checking out.

Allie
Kids are getting better and that’s pretty cool.
During her postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital Colorado, Allie Morford, PhD specialized in treating anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children. She played a pivotal role in managing an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and leading anxiety-focused therapy groups. This experience allowed her to develop expertise in anxiety treatment, and she found it rewarding to witness the significant progress children made under her care.
Allie's clinical work was marked by rapid improvements in children’s anxiety levels, sometimes within a week. Her research on the effectiveness of the IOP was presented at a professional conference, highlighting the program’s success. In addition to her clinical duties, Allie created educational presentations for teachers and community members on supporting children with anxiety, aiming to promote replicable treatment programs.
Allie is passionate about continuing her career in academic medicine, combining teaching, research, and clinical practice. She finds fulfillment in seeing positive changes in children and their families, particularly through the IOP.
For future postdocs, Allie emphasized the importance of fully engaging in the learning process, asking questions, and making the most of every opportunity. She values the collaborative environment she experienced and encourages others to build specialized knowledge. Allie remains deeply committed to helping children overcome anxiety and OCD, and her dedication drives her continued work in the field.

Ricardo Villarreal, MD, PhD Psychiatry Residency
Ricardo Villarreal, MD, PhD research journey began with a focus on biology and physiology, eventually expanding into cell biology and animal models during his early career. His clinical interests grew through involvement in a U.S. Army clinical trial, where he explored the use of technology in field operations. His passion for combining medicine and research led him to specialize in neuroinflammation, particularly studying inflammatory markers in newborns, during his MD/PhD program. Ricardo is now completing a psychiatry residency on the research track.
As a resident physician and senior research fellow, Ricardo's current research focuses on suicide prevention, mood and anxiety disorders, and technological interventions in mental health. He is involved in several notable programs, including the Psychiatry Residency at the Department of Psychiatry, the Combat Group (which addresses mental health issues in military personnel), and the Brain and Behavior Innovation Center. His interventional research is especially focused on PTSD and firearm safety in the context of suicide prevention.
Ricardo is passionate about psychiatry, viewing it as a deeply fulfilling field. He balances his professional commitments with family life and plans to continue advancing his research, particularly through clinical trials, while considering a future in academia. He advises future healthcare professionals to embrace the challenges of the field, enjoy the journey, and stay focused on their internal goals.
