Andrea Uliano brings over 20 years of clinical healthcare experience, beginning her career as a clinical social worker before transitioning to a registered nurse and ultimately becoming a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With a strong foundation in both mental health and medicine, Andrea’s practice is rooted in a holistic philosophy that prioritizes balance, connection, and individualized care.
Throughout her career, Andrea has remained committed to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. She avoids quick fixes and extreme regimens, instead focusing on thoughtful, goal-oriented solutions that honor the deep connection between the mind and body. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, problem-solving, and long-term wellness rather than temporary results.
Originally from Long Island, New York, Andrea has called the mountains of Vail and Summit County home for the past 16 years. Living in a small mountain community has given her a unique understanding of the challenges faced by locals, allowing her to connect deeply with her patients. She has a particular passion for working with individuals navigating substance and alcohol use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and women’s health concerns.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Aurora, CO
Finding psychiatrists in Aurora starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with psychiatry, some start with therapy, and some work with both. As you compare psychiatrists in Aurora, CO, look for listed specialties, clinical focus areas, and experience that match your needs.
Aurora has psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Fitzsimons, City Center, and Southlands, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If you prefer an office visit, consider commute time, parking, and appointment times that fit your schedule. If virtual care works better, you may have more flexibility when comparing psychiatrists across Aurora and nearby Colorado communities. Psychiatry visits often focus on diagnosis, medication questions, and follow-up care, so appointments may be shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Reading bios can help you understand a psychiatrist’s approach, whether they offer therapy, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Aurora can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway lets you enter your insurance details, see estimated session costs upfront, and find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. You can browse profiles, compare in-person and virtual availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
