Collaborative Care
Collaborative Psychiatric Care in Boulder, CO
A whole-person approach that connects your psychiatrist with the family members, schools, and professionals who already know you best.
Better Care Happens When Everyone Is on the Same Page
Mental health care rarely happens in isolation. A child may have a pediatrician, a therapist, teachers, and parents who all see different parts of the picture. An adult may have a primary care doctor, a counselor, and a history with previous providers. When those voices are not connected, important details get lost.
From the very start of working with each patient, Dr. B. Harrison Levine, MD, MPH actively collaborates with current and former caregivers and health care professionals. The goal is a complete, holistic understanding of what is going on, and a treatment plan that everyone can support.
What Collaborative Care Looks Like
With your permission, Dr. Levine coordinates with the people involved in your care or your child's care.
Families and caregivers
Parents, partners, and other caregivers are included in the conversation so that support at home matches the plan.
Schools
For children and teens, Dr. Levine can work with schools to share helpful information and coordinate support.
Therapists and psychologists
Dr. Levine refers to trusted psychologists and therapists where appropriate and stays in contact as treatment progresses.
Physicians and specialists
Coordination with pediatricians, primary care physicians, and other providers helps keep medical and psychiatric care aligned.
Collaboration is part of every service we offer, from diagnosis and treatment to medication management.
Experience Building Teams Around Patients
Dr. Levine’s background is rooted in team-based care. At Children’s Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado, he developed and directed psychiatric consultation and liaison services, which bring psychiatry together with other medical teams. He also developed a crisis intervention team focused on strengthening alliances with families.

Who can Dr. Levine coordinate with?
With your permission, he can coordinate with family members, schools, therapists, psychologists, pediatricians, primary care physicians, and other professionals involved in care.

Can my primary care doctor continue my treatment?
In some cases. Patients need to be seen at least every three months to remain in Dr. Levine’s care. If less frequent visits are appropriate, we will discuss whether your primary care or pediatric physician can manage treatment.
