Assessment, medication management and steady follow-up care for
adults. What that looks like in practice is set out below, so you know what you
are agreeing to before you call.
Services, and areas of support
These are the services this practice provides: the things that
actually happen at an appointment. The concerns those services are
used for, from anxiety and ADHD to PTSD and trauma, are listed separately on
areas of support. Keeping the two apart makes it
easier to work out whether this is the right place for you.
What you can come here for
Psychiatric assessment
01
A thorough first appointment. The point is to understand the whole picture before
anything is named or prescribed, including the parts that might not feel
relevant to you yet.
What has been happening, for how long, and what changed
Sleep, physical health and any medication you already take
Work, money, family and the environment around you
What you want to be different, in your own words
Medication management
02
Treatment may include medication management to address conditions such as anxiety,
depression, and ADHD. Where medication is on the table, you should understand it
before you take it.
What it is for, and what it is not for
Likely effects, and the ones people stop treatment over
Interactions with anything else you take
What happens if you would rather not, and what else there is
Follow-up and review
03
Treatment is reviewed as you go rather than set once and left. What works in
month one is often not what works in month six, and that is normal rather than
a sign of failure.
Is it working, and how would we know
Side effects worth changing course over
Dose changes, swaps, or stopping when that is right
What has changed in your life since we last spoke
Care for veterans and military families
04
Geofrey K Kosgei is a veteran. Service culture, deployment, transition and the strain
it puts on the people at home do not need explaining from scratch before the
appointment can start.
PTSD, trauma, anger, sleep and substance use
Adjusting to civilian life, work and routine
Partners, parents and adult children are welcome too
Veterans in crisis can call or text 988 and press 1
Collaborative care with your primary care provider
05
Mental health and physical health are not separate systems. Where it helps, and
with your agreement, care here is coordinated with the PCP who already knows your
history, so nobody is prescribing around anybody else.
Medication reviewed against what you already take
Physical health that may be driving symptoms is not ignored
Shared updates, only with your agreement
No PCP at the moment? That is fine, and worth discussing
What it is actually like
Appointments are at 1612 Bonforte Blvd, Pueblo, CO 81001. There is no assessment form to complete before
you arrive and no requirement to have worked out what is wrong.

understand, not to catch you out.
Bring someone if you wantA partner, a parent or a
friend can come in with you, or wait outside.
Ask about remote appointmentsIf travelling to Pueblo
is difficult, raise it when you call and we will tell you what is possible.
22 areas of support
Anxiety, depression and ADHD are the most common reasons people get in touch, but
they are not the only ones. The full list covers trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder,
OCD, addiction, psychosis, identity, and more.
Whether a referral is needed usually depends on your insurance plan rather than
on this practice. Call (720) 897-6735 and ask before
you do anything else, so you are not chasing paperwork you did not need.
Anything you take regularly, including over the counter medicines and
supplements, is genuinely useful, and a photo of the boxes is fine. Beyond that,
bring whatever you have. People arrive with a list, or with nothing, and both
work.
The services set out on this page are psychiatric assessment, medication
management and follow-up care. If talking therapy would help alongside that,
it is worth raising at your appointment so you can be pointed in the right
direction.
Fees and the insurance plans accepted are confirmed directly with the practice,
because they change. Call (720) 897-6735 or email
info@hawthornepsychiatry.com and you will be told before you book.
If you are paying for yourself you also have the right to a
Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.
No. This practice does not provide emergency or crisis care, and messages are
not monitored around the clock. If you are in danger or thinking about ending
your life, call or text 988, or call
911. Veterans can press 1 after dialing 988.
