Top Startup Award Marks a Year of Milestones for Colorado’s Leading Mental Health Innovator
Axis Integrated Mental Health is thrilled to announce its recognition as Top Startup of the Year by ColoradoBiz Magazine. The award honors Axis’ innovative approach in transforming mental health care through strategic partnerships with healthcare providers across Colorado.
This recognition follows an exceptional year for Axis, which has also been named a Colorado Company to Watch and the Best Mental Health Clinic in Aurora, and received the Best of Mile High™ Award for Mental Wellness. Additionally, Axis earned ColoradoBiz Magazine’s Top Growth Award among the top 100 woman-owned businesses.
“Winning this award is a tremendous honor, but our greatest achievement is the positive impact we have on our patients by combining modern psychiatry with holistic care,” said Christopher Perez, Axis Integrated Mental Health CEO. “Our collaborative partnerships with providers across Colorado ensure that more patients receive the comprehensive care they need, and providers are not struggling with Colorado’s mental health crisis alone.”
Pioneering Innovative Care
Axis Integrated Mental Health is known for its collaborative approach, working closely with primary care physicians, mental health professionals, and specialists statewide. These partnerships enable providers to offer advanced, insurance-covered treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Spravato™ for conditions such as treatment-resistant depression to their patients without increasing overhead. This integrated model ensures patients receive holistic, patient-centered care addressing both mental and physical health.
“Achieving the best outcomes for our clients demands a holistic mindset and deep expertise in mental health,” said Carla D’Agostino-Vigil, Ignite Counseling Colorado founder and fellow ColoradoBiz award winner. “Partnerships between leaders like Ignite and Axis are critical for improving mental health access across Colorado.”
A Blueprint for the Future
As Colorado’s mental health crisis continues to worsen, Axis’ collaborative model is delivering faster, longer-lasting relief for complex mental health conditions. The clinic’s integrated care approach provides a glimpse into the future of mental health, where partnerships drive better outcomes and more accessible treatments for patients.
