Modern Mental Health Support in Colorado - With Old School Values

Out West Mental Health is my solo practice, built on the kind of care I wish more people had access to – personal, heartfelt, and grounded in trust. Think of it like having your own small-town family doctor (but for your mental health!) and available anywhere in Colorado through secure online visits.

Whether you need a psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis, medication management, or thoughtful support with starting or tapering off medications, I’m here to help you get the care you deserve. My goal is to listen first and act thoughtfully. I follow a “low and slow” approach to psychiatric medication, meaning I don’t rush to prescribe but prioritize a whole-person, individualized plan that starts with low dosages.

I never prescribe medication I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving to a loved one or family member. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and always centered on your unique needs and well-being. So you’ll never be pressured to take medication that you feel uncomfortable with. Together, we’ll figure out what makes the most sense for you.

HOW IT WORKS

Fully Online. Just as Personal. Just as Effective.

Available in Colorado, Nevada, Arizona & New Mexico.

All of my appointments are conducted online. Using secure telehealth technology, you can connect with me from your kitchen table, your back porch, or even your kid’s room after school, without worrying about traffic, waiting rooms, or rushing across town.

If you're looking for a psychiatric evaluation or considering starting a mental health medication, I conduct a series of sessions to get your diagnosis and provide careful, “low and slow” medication support to help you begin safely.

Once you’re on medication, we’ll maintain monthly online appointments for psychiatric medication management, prescription refills, and adjustments based on changes in your life or symptoms. And if you’re considering tapering or discontinuing psychiatric medication, I provide thoughtful, step-by-step medication discontinuation plans to support you through that process.

Sommer is the best provider I have ever had! I've been with her for a year and a half. I can't express how grateful I am to have found her. I've had so many providers dismiss how I actually feel and what management is best for me. I gave up hope that I would ever find someone that really has the desire to understand each individual person and what management applies to them. She's someone you can trust with yourself and know that she is going to provide you with the best care and professional guidance. You'll get this feeling the second you meet her. I've never had a provider be so genuinely invested in me and so accessible/easy to reach. She also recommended me to the best therapist I've ever had! So she is a crucial part to the growth and happiness I have today that I never thought I'd find. You'll regret not seeing her!

I’ve been battling focus, procrastination, and time management for years, feeling like I was constantly falling behind. But then I met Sommer Perkins, and everything changed. From the very first appointment, I felt truly heard, understood, and supported. Sommer took the time to listen to my concerns and ask thoughtful questions, making me feel like a priority rather than just another patient. One of my biggest concerns was finding the right approach without dealing with unwanted side effects. Sommer was incredibly patient, making small adjustments and following up regularly to ensure I was feeling my best. Whether you need support with focus or organization, Sommer takes a personalized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method. I finally feel more in control of my life again! As someone with a busy schedule, I love that Sommer offers telehealth appointments, making it so much easier to get the care I need.

I live in Colorado because I love it here - and I've built Out West Mental Health to reflect that grounded, thoughtful way of living.
