Benjamin O'Brien, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, MSN, APRN
Nurse Practitioner
Denver Denver CO, 80219About
With a solid foundation in both psychiatric and primary care, I bring a holistic approach to mental health treatment, addressing not only the symptoms but the whole person. My career has been shaped by diverse experiences, from working in acute care settings to addiction medicine and community mental health. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the complexities of mental health and the importance of tailored, patient-centered care.
I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner focus from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, and a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health from Walden University. My journey into healthcare began with a deep-seated passion for helping others, a passion that continues to fuel my dedication to my patients today.
At Mental Hope Psychiatry, I specialize in psychiatric evaluations and medication management for a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use disorders. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood, and together, we can work towards achieving your mental health goals.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, whether it’s skiing in the mountains or rollerblading through the park. I’m also an avid painter and love creating candles from recycled wine bottles—a reminder that even simple things can be transformed into something beautiful.
