Christine Farina

Christine Farina, PMHNP-BC is not your average Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Queer, tattooed, artistic, and unapologetically herself, Christine brings something the mental health world desperately needs more of — a provider who digs into authentic relating and strives to actually gets YOU. Her approach is not in a performative, rainbow-flag-in-the-window way – instead she exemplifies her commitment to you in a bone-deep, lived-experience, I-see-exactly-what-you’re-carrying way. Christine specializes in the cases other providers shy away from — complex presentations, treatment-resistant conditions, OCD, dual diagnosis with substance abuse disorders, serious mental illness, and patients who’ve been dismissed, over-medicated, or handed a diagnosis that never quite fit. Her prescribing philosophy is conservative and careful: more often than not, she’s simplifying what you’re already on rather than adding to the pile. LGBTQIA+ patients consistently describe her practice as one of the first spaces where they haven’t had to explain or justify themselves before getting down to actual care. She uses humor — sometimes dark, always respectful — because healing doesn’t have to feel like a clinical transaction to be clinically excellent. If you’ve cycled through providers who made you feel like too much or too complicated — Christine built her practice for exactly you. Christine practices with Forest Path Psychiatry & Healing, a telepsychiatry group serving patients throughout Colorado. Virtual appointments mean affirming, expert psychiatric care is available wherever you are in the state. Book at www.forestpathpsychiatry.com, and we look forward to supporting you soon.
