Hello! I'm Courtney Baker | Founder, Balanced Psychiatry Colorado Springs, CO
Board-certified PMHNP · Colorado Springs, CO · Telehealth statewide · Accepting new patients
How I got started
- After years as an ER nurse, I kept seeing patients in crisis with nowhere to turn.
- That gap brought me back to school — MSN from Walden University, BSN from UCCS — and into psychiatry.
- I built Balanced Psychiatry to give Colorado patients the quality care they deserve, without the waitlists and will a provider who truly cares.
My approach
I don't believe in handing you a prescription and wishing you luck.
What you can expect:
- Your first session is about getting to know you — not just your symptoms ·
- We build your care plan together, as partners ·
- Medication, therapy, lifestyle — whatever works for you specifically ·
- Open communication and zero judgment, every visit
What I treat
- Anxiety — Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety
- Depression — Major depression, persistent low mood, postpartum
- ADHD — Evaluation & medication management for adults, teens & children
- Bipolar Disorder — Mood stabilization and ongoing management
- Addiction & Recovery — Compassionate, evidence-based support
- Weight Management — GLP-1 medications (semaglutide & tirzepatide)
