Built-In Psychiatry & Spravato® Referral Network

One of the advantages of practicing at Aurora is the opportunity to work within an integrated behavioral health organization.

In addition to Aurora's broader patient acquisition efforts, therapists may receive internal referrals directly from our psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and interventional psychiatry programs.

This includes opportunities to provide psychotherapy to patients receiving Spravato® (esketamine) treatment for treatment-resistant depression when clinically appropriate.

Our integrated model allows therapists and psychiatric providers to collaborate around patients who benefit from both psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment.

• Provide individual psychotherapy to adult patients through secure telehealth

• Establish and maintain longitudinal therapeutic relationships
• Utilize evidence-based, patient-centered psychotherapy approaches
• Monitor symptoms, treatment progress, and clinical outcomes
• Update treatment plans as clinically appropriate
• Provide appropriate psychoeducation and therapeutic interventions
• Identify changes in clinical acuity and coordinate higher levels of care when necessary
• Collaborate with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other behavioral health professionals when clinically appropriate
• Coordinate care with outside providers when appropriate
• Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation within the EHR
