Relief Mental Health Opens First Colorado Clinic in Denver, Expanding Access to Rapid, Innovative Care

DENVER, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Relief Mental Health, an award-winning outpatient provider of innovative mental health services, proudly announces the opening of its 12th clinic—and first in Colorado—now serving patients in Denver.

This expansion brings Relief's mission of expedited, personalized care to a state where mental health is a serious challenge and needs are urgent and growing.

The Denver clinic launches with two core services: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) administered by a board-certified psychiatrist and therapy provided by licensed professional counselor. Additional offerings, including SPRAVATO® (esketamine) and psychiatric medication management, will be introduced in the coming months.

"Mental health doesn't wait—and neither should patients," said Susan Mueller, founder and CEO at Relief Mental Health, which opened in January 2020 in Oak Brook, Illinois. "We're committed to seeing new patients within a week of their first call, if not days, because timely access can make all the difference."

Cutting-Edge Treatments Provide Relief

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is primarily used to treat depression and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), especially in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy.

Using BrainsWay Deep TMS™ technology, Relief's care is the most advanced and effective treatment available. Deep TMS is administered in a clinical setting, where patients sit comfortably while a specialized helmet delivers targeted magnetic stimulation to deeper brain structures.

Treatments are typically done five days a week over several weeks, with sessions lasting about 20 minutes. Deep TMS is well-tolerated, does not require anesthesia, and allows patients to return to their daily activities immediately after. It is suitable for individuals seeking a medication-free, evidence-based approach to managing persistent depression or OCD symptoms.

When medical criteria are met, Deep TMS is typically covered by insurance, making this advanced treatment an accessible option for individuals who qualify.

Addressing Colorado's Mental Health Crisis

Colorado faces significant mental health challenges. According to the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey, more than one in four Coloradans reported poor mental health, the highest rate ever recorded by the survey. Furthermore, 17 percent of residents—approximately 880,000 people—said they were unable to get the mental health care they needed, with more than half citing the inability to secure timely appointments as the primary barrier.

The situation is particularly acute among younger adults and marginalized communities. More than a third of individuals aged 18-50 reported serious mental health challenges, and LGBTQ+ Coloradans experienced poor mental health at a rate of 54.4 percent, nearly double that of their straight and cisgender counterparts, according to the Colorado Health Institute.

Access issues are compounded by a shortage of mental health professionals. The Colorado Health Institute reports that 2.8 million Coloradans—48 percent of the state's population—live in areas designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas.

Relief's Commitment to Expedited, Personalized Care

Relief Mental Health is dedicated to bridging these gaps by offering prompt, individualized treatment. With a focus on evidence-based therapies and an empathetic approach, Relief aims to reduce the burden of mental health diagnoses in Colorado communities.
