Our Services
Two ways we work with you
Dr. Bushong offers talking therapy and medication management — the careful use of prescribed medicine, reviewed with you over time. Care is given in a calm, private office, at a pace that suits you.
Psychotherapy
Regular one-to-one sessions. There are several kinds of talking therapy, and we choose the one that fits your situation together.
Medication Management
If medicine is part of your plan, Dr. Bushong prescribes it carefully, explains it plainly, and reviews how it is working at every visit.
Your Provider
Board certified psychiatric care that stays in the valley.
Families here have long had to drive to Denver or Grand Junction for child and adolescent psychiatry. Dr. Bushong practices in Aspen and Carbondale, so appointments fit around school, work and the weather.
Friendly neighborhood care
Local psychiatric care for Aspen, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Basalt and El Jebel, and out to Vail, Avon and Grand Junction.
Board certified in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry
One physician, across the whole family — the same person can see a teenager and a parent.

Working With Us
How it works
Three steps, at your pace. Nothing is decided before we have talked it through.
-
Step 1
Get In Contact
Call, send a short message, or book straight into the calendar. Tell us which office suits you and we take it from there.
-
Step 2
In-Depth Evaluation
A long first appointment. Dr. Bushong listens to your history, your health, and what you want to change.
-
Step 3
Develop a Plan
You and Dr. Bushong agree on a plan together — talking therapy, medicine, or both — and adjust it as things change.
How payment works
This practice is private pay. We do not bill insurance, and you are responsible for payment for all services.
If your plan covers out-of-network care, we can provide a statement. You send it to your insurance and claim the reimbursement yourself.
Crisis & Support
If you need help right now
