Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Colorado Springs, CO

Many of the men I work with feel cut off from their emotions, weighed down by anxiety, and uncertain about how to manage stress at work or at home. Together, we uncover what’s getting in the way, rebuild connection to self, and cultivate the tools needed for healthier relationships and a more balanced, rewarding life.

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.

I believe in empowering people through a strength-based approach to therapy. I specialize in psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders and substances use issues.

I believe therapy is most effective when people feel safe and supported, and my master’s degree in forensic psychology taught me to see things from multiple perspectives to support clients. I have worked in outpatient substance use treatment and integrated healthcare and also taught and supervised students and early-career therapists. These experiences have helped tailor my practice to support clients experiencing complex and traumatic events, relationship issues, addiction, and life changes.

I provide an open space to talk about any issue on your mind. Together, we probe deeper into patterns that affect your life and find ways to overcome those obstacles to your goals. I've worked in a variety of settings as a social worker and seen all manner of struggles and lives. I strive to understand your experiences and form a partnership on your healing journey.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Walden University, with a concentration in trauma-informed care. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), as well as certified in Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sandplay Therapy. My early career centered on supporting children and families navigating trauma, substance use, and instability, as well as individuals transitioning from incarceration and reintegrating into their communities. These experiences continue to shape my person-centered, integrative approach to care.

In my practice, I support adults and children through an individualized, holistic lens. My therapeutic philosophy draws from Person-Centered, Holistic, and Psychodynamic therapies—approaches that value empathy, self-awareness, and exploration of the connections between past and present. I believe all people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and healing when they are met with safety, compassion, and curiosity.
