Leslie Choi

Hi! I am Leslie Choi, a Dual-Board Certified Pediatric and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have been providing psychiatric treatment to individuals across the lifespan as Faculty in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado since 2020. I expanded my work over the last 2 years to serve in the high school setting as an educator and resource for substance use prevention and intervention, and mental health promotion for young people. I have been a nurse for 26 years, with a wide variety of experience including as a Navy nurse, an oncology nurse, inpatient and outpatient pediatric nurse.

I specialize in treating adolescents, First Responders, and individuals with trauma and stressor-related mental health concerns.

I am passionate about helping people feel seen and heard in their care and partnering with my clients to incorporate multiple holistic interventions on the pathway to good mental health (including therapy, good sleep, physical health and nutrition, meaningful connection, and medication management). My practice is grounded in person-centered treatment that is based on clients' specific goals.

Extended evaluation visits allow us extra time to create connection, review your current and past mental and physical health concerns, and work to start the process to establish specific goals, consider treatment options, and find hope for a future that is brighter, richer, and more anchored in YOUR values and dreams.
