Welcome to Mindful Psychiatry New Mexico

We’re glad you’re here. Reaching out for help can be a difficult step, and we commend you for taking it. When traditional methods of addressing your concerns no longer seem effective, it’s time to explore new strategies. Stress, anger, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression can all create obstacles in our lives—affecting our relationships, work, self-perception, and overall well-being.

At Mindful Psychiatry, we are, first and foremost, focused on creating a safe and supportive relationship so that healing can occur.  Secondarily, we seek to offer a comprehensive, holistic approach to mental health, blending mindfulness-based psychotherapy with behavioral pharmacology. This integrative model supports people in living more fully and being present in each moment, fostering a greater sense of self-acceptance and mental well-being.

In addition to psychotherapy, your care may include recommendations for psychiatric medications, dietary changes, movement practices, EMDR, trauma-based therapies, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. Every treatment decision is made jointly with you and with intention, compassion, and a careful review of current neuroscience and evidence-based practices.

 

Providers

Kate Colovos, APRN, PMHNP

Kate is accepting new medication management and psychotherapy clients. She accepts BCBS commercial and Medicaid/Turquoise Care, Optum insurance, and self pay. (Accepting Presbyterian health plans and Medicaid soon).

Kate helps adolescents and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected move toward emotional balance, resilience, and meaningful growth. Her work blends integrative (holistic + evidence-based), trauma-informed psychiatry with mind-body practices, practical tools, and compassionate exploration of your story.

As a female veteran and healthcare professional who has experienced burnout and deep personal loss, Kate brings both clinical expertise and lived understanding to our work. She holds a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and our natural capacity to heal. 

Kate believes symptoms are signals, not failures, and that healing happens when we feel safe enough to listen to what our inner world has been holding.
