I'm Caitlyn Champion, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering telehealth psychiatric care throughout Colorado and in-person services in Parker, CO. I specialize in working with women, children, and teens, providing medication management and comprehensive psychiatric evaluations that are thoughtful, collaborative, and never rushed.

Before opening my practice, I spent years overseeing the inpatient psychiatric unit at Children's Hospital Colorado—one of the country's leading pediatric hospitals. That experience shaped how I practice: with patience, genuine curiosity, and a deep respect for how hard it can be to ask for help. I also worked in community mental health, which strengthened my commitment to accessible, insurance-supported care for people at every stage of their journey.

I treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma, and more. For children and teens, I also offer therapy rooted in CBT and Internal Family Systems. And for families looking for something a little different, I offer equine-assisted therapy on a case-by-case basis—a uniquely grounding option, especially for young clients.
