Lab Testing
for Mental Health in Colorado

Supporting your mental health and your physical health.

We believe that caring for your mental health means looking really getting the full picture of your overall health. Not just your mental health symptoms. That’s why we offer lab testing as part of our holistic, evidence-based approach to psychiatric care. Lab work helps us understand how your physical health may be affecting your mental wellbeing and gives us important information when making medication decisions.

Lab testing can help identify underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to mental health symptoms or even mimicking a psychiatric disorder. It can also detect side effects from medications, such as metabolic changes, before they become more serious.

Why We Use Lab Testing in Mental Health Care

Mental and physical health are deeply connected. Sometimes, what feels like depression, anxiety, or irritability may actually be related to something like:

  • Thyroid dysfunction

  • Vitamin or nutrient deficiencies (like B12 or iron)

  • Blood sugar imbalance or insulin resistance

By ruling out or identifying these issues, we can make sure your treatment plan is accurate, safe, and effective.

We may also use labs to:

  • Establish a baseline before starting certain medications

  • Monitor for medication-related side effects (like weight gain, liver function, or cholesterol changes)

  • Adjust dosing when needed based on how your body is responding

What Lab Tests Might Be Ordered?

The labs we recommend depend on your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Common tests may include:

  • Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP)

  • Thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4)

  • Complete blood count (CBC)

  • Vitamin D and B12 levels

  • Iron and ferritin

  • Lipid panel (cholesterol)

  • Hemoglobin A1c (for blood sugar)

  • Medication level checks

We’ll always explain what we’re ordering and why, and you’ll receive a copy of your results along with a personalized review during a follow-up appointment.

Convenient, Collaborative, and Patient-Centered.

We make it easy on your schedule so that you can go to your local lab to get your bloodwork done.

Whether you’re starting psychiatric treatment for the first time or looking to optimize your current care, lab testing is one more way to get insight towards your mental and your physical health.
