Holistic Integrative
Psychiatry For Women

Mind Alchemy Mental Health is a holistic, integrative psychiatry practice transforming anxiety, ADHD, depression, and burnout into clarity, confidence, and lasting well-being.

I work with ambitious women who carry a lot—mentally, emotionally, and silently—and are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected. Whether they’re navigating imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or just trying to keep it together beneath the surface, they’re ready for something deeper than symptom control. Through personalized, root-cause-focused care, I help you move beyond survival mode and reconnect with your calm, focus, and sense of self—so confidence isn’t just something you show the world, it’s something you truly feel.

Hi! I'm Britt Ritchie,

a doctorate-prepared integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes true healing happens when we look at the whole person—not just symptoms. I combine traditional psychiatry with modern, holistic tools to help you move beyond the cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout into a place of self-trust, confidence, and clarity.

"I help ambitious women struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and burnout uncover the root causes of their symptoms and feel like themselves again—calm, focused, and empowered—through personalized, integrative psychiatric care."

Now Accepting New Patients In Colorado

My journey into psychiatry is deeply personal—shaped by growing up with a loved one affected by mental illness, and by navigating my own experiences with depression, social anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD, and dyscalculia. For years, I appeared high-functioning on the outside, but inside I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and held back from reaching my potential. Like many of the women I now work with, I lived in survival mode—constantly pushing through exhaustion, imposter syndrome, and perfectionistic pressure, unsure why it all felt so hard.

Healing didn’t come from a single prescription or a quick fix. It took perseverance, therapy, and a deep commitment to physical and mental wellness to turn my struggles into steppingstones. That journey—of finally understanding why I felt the way I did—is what inspired the root-cause approach I use today.

My philosophy isn’t abstract—it’s lived. I now help self-aware, high-achieving women untangle the hidden patterns beneath their anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout—and reconnect with the calm, clarity, and confidence they’ve been searching for.

True healing goes beyond symptom management. It takes compassion, curiosity, and a personalized path forward. Through comprehensive evaluations, integrative medicine, and evidence-based strategies, I help women reclaim their energy, self-trust, and purpose—so they can stop second-guessing themselves and start living fully, with confidence from the inside out.

My Practice Philosophy

is inspired by the art of transformation—turning mental and emotional challenges into opportunities for growth, resilience, and reconnection. I believe healing is a holistic journey that honors your mind, body, and spirit. By integrating traditional psychiatry with complementary therapies, I create care plans that help you gain clarity, inner confidence, and a stronger connection to who you really are. Through this approach, you can finally step out of survival mode and into a life that feels grounded, aligned, and truly your own.

I Believe...

In the Power of Transformation

Just as alchemy turns base metals into gold, I help my clients turn anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt into clarity, confidence, and meaningful growth. Your struggles aren’t signs of failure—they’re invitations to heal and reconnect with your true self.

You Already Hold the Gold

Whether you're working to stabilize your mood, overcome perfectionism, reclaim your confidence, or find a deeper sense of purpose, I believe the answers live within you. My role is to help you uncover and trust that inner wisdom.

Healing is a Holistic Journey

True well-being isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about tending to the mind, body, and nervous system as an interconnected whole. When we address the root causes, balance becomes not just possible, but sustainable.

Connection is Essential to Healing

We’re wired for connection. Safe, nurturing relationships—whether with others or with ourselves—are key to emotional well-being. Without them, we often seek external validation to fill the void. With them, we thrive.

What You're Facing—
And How We’ll Work Through It

Do you...

feel like no matter how much you achieve, it never feels like enough?

spend hours perfecting small tasks or overthinking decisions, afraid of making a mistake?

feel like you're only valued for what you do, not who you are?

Perfectionism might be driving more of your distress than you realize. I help high-performing women untangle the thought patterns, nervous system imbalances, and unrealistic expectations at the core of perfectionism. Together, we’ll shift the inner narrative, support your mind and body, and build a more grounded sense of confidence—one that doesn’t depend on constant performance.

Do you...

feel weighed down by emotional and physical symptoms that no one seems to be connecting—like fatigue, poor sleep, hormonal shifts, chronic stress, or a general sense that your body is out of sync with your mind?

feel like you’ve been told it’s “just anxiety” or brushed off because your labs look normal—but deep down, you know something isn’t right? You’re still pushing yourself to function, but inside, you feel foggy, depleted, and disconnected from your usual spark.

I specialize in helping ambitious women untangle the overlap between mental health and physical symptoms—especially when you’re navigating things like chronic illness, medical trauma, or complex medication histories. My integrative approach considers everything from gut health and hormones to nervous system regulation and stress resilience, so we can address root causes, not just bandaid the symptoms.

Do you...

feel like your brain never shuts off? You're constantly analyzing, worrying, overthinking. You’re tightly wound but trying to appear composed. Maybe you've had your first panic attack, or sleep is elusive no matter how tired you feel. Your mind races, your body feels tense, and it’s starting to affect your relationships and work?

dread social interactions—even ones you want to enjoy—because you're afraid of being judged, saying the wrong thing, or feeling awkward the whole time?

constantly feel like you have to prove yourself—never quite measuring up, no matter how much you achieve?

replay conversations in your head, overanalyze every decision, or feel like you're walking around with a constant sense of dread or unease?

My integrative approach to anxiety includes targeted medication (only if needed), calming mind-body practices, and tools rooted in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism or imposter syndrome, I'll help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and build a deeper sense of inner calm and self-trust—so you can stop living in your head and start feeling grounded, steady, and in control.

Do you...

say things like, “I’m fine,” when you’re really just numb?

check all the boxes—career, relationships, maybe kids—but still feel like something’s missing?

feel unmotivated, disconnected, and are not enjoying the things you used to love. You’re going through the motions, wondering why you don’t feel happy?

We’ll work together to understand the full picture—because depression isn’t always just a chemical imbalance. Whether it’s hormone-related, rooted in burnout, tied to past trauma, or something else entirely, I’ll help you feel lighter and more like you again—using a mix of therapy, nutrition, lifestyle tools, and, when helpful, carefully selected medication.

Do you...

wonder if there’s more to your constant procrastination, forgetfulness, or the tornado of thoughts in your head? Maybe you’ve stumbled across ADHD content online and thought, Wait... that’s me.

struggle to stay focused, start (and finish) tasks, or manage your emotions—and feel ashamed or judged for it?

feel like your brain is always on overdrive, even when you’re exhausted—and no matter how hard you try, it’s never quite enough?

I specialize in adult ADHD, especially how it shows up in ambitious women. Together, we’ll explore accurate diagnosis, treatment options beyond just medication, and executive function strategies that work with your brain, not against it. No shame. No judgment. Just support that gets results—and helps you feel confident in how your brain works.

Do you...?

feel like you’ve been holding it all together for too long—until suddenly, you can’t?

feel you used to manage everything with ease, but now even small tasks feel overwhelming?

feel exhausted, wired, and emotionally drained, yet still pushing through on fumes. Your sleep is off, your gut is a mess, and you don’t feel like yourself anymore?

I help you recover from burnout by addressing both the mental and physical toll it’s taken. We'll uncover what’s really driving your symptoms, support your nervous system, and rebuild your energy with evidence-based strategies—from personalized supplements and lab testing to gentle lifestyle shifts that actually fit your real life.

Are you...

going through a major life shift—new baby, job change, loss, or even a milestone birthday—and suddenly everything feels uncertain? The things that used to work don’t anymore, and you’re left questioning your path, your priorities, and who you even are.

This is where transformation happens. Together, we’ll make meaning out of the mess, clarify your values, and create a path forward that feels aligned and doable. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Do you...

feel like you're faking it, even when others praise your success?

worry that you’ll be "found out" or exposed as not really qualified?

push yourself to constantly prove your worth—while quietly fearing it’s still not enough?

Imposter syndrome can be incredibly isolating, especially for ambitious women who appear confident on the outside. I help you rewrite the inner script that says you’re not good enough—while also addressing the anxiety, ADHD, or perfectionism that often runs alongside it. We’ll use evidence-based strategies to help you feel grounded, capable, and at home in your own success.
