ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Pueblo, CO

I am accepting new clients.

We all need someone to listen to, understand, and support us, especially during times of uncertainty and transition. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel comfortable to be yourself and share your fears, hopes, and struggles. As each client is a unique individual, I feel the process of counseling should be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and have the innate ability to heal.

I’m Makala Smith, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I am committed to providing holistic mental health care through a balanced and patient-centered approach.

My background includes neurology, trauma, and public health nursing. I earned my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from University of Colorado after I realized the need for psychiatric providers in my rural community of Meeker, Colorado and surrounding areas. By furthering my education, I am able to provide specialized, thoughtful, empathetic psychiatric care.

Melissa ("Mel") Klootwyk, MSN, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of psychiatric mental health experience providing care across inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Mel has experience treating a broad spectrum of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, to more complex mood, trauma-related, thought, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Are anxiety, depression, attention difficulties or changes in mood making everyday life harder?

I'm Blessing Iwuozo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at NuMedical & Psychiatry Clinic. I provide initial psychiatric assessments and medication management, with a compassionate approach that makes room for your questions, experiences and goals.

I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD and sleep concerns. Whether you are seeking care for the first time or looking to review your current treatment, we will explore your symptoms, relevant history and how you are functioning at home, school or work.

My goal is to help you understand your treatment options and participate in decisions about your care. Together, we will develop a personalized plan and review your progress over time.

My approach combines over 20 years of experience working in healthcare with multiple degrees in nursing and psychology/psychiatry. I have a strong background in addiction medicine, as well as general mental health care.

Like many, I live in and love the state of Colorado. Any chance I get I'm out exploring the outdoors. It provides balance in my personal and professional life.

As a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I share my interests with clients I see.

When I was working full-time as a Family Nurse Practitioner I saw an unmet need in clients finding a balance in their physical and mental health. I decided to return to school to strengthen my knowledge in psychiatric mental health care.

For the past five years my focus has included seeing clients with substance dependence, MAT treatment, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. I especially enjoy the 1:1 experience via telehealth seeing clients in the comforts of their own home.
