Psychiatry in Boulder, Colorado Daniel Burhans, Nurse Practitioner

Daniel Burhans helps patients across Colorado stabilize symptoms, regain confidence, and move forward with effective psychiatric medication management tailored to their needs. Practicing at LifeStance Health, he partners with children, adolescents, teens, and adults to address mental health concerns with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that balances clinical precision with compassion for each person’s experience in Colorado communities. A central focus of Daniel’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. He is especially passionate about helping patients transition safely back into daily life, reducing the risk of relapse, and building continuity of care after inpatient treatment. This includes careful medication management, close monitoring of symptoms, and collaboration around realistic goals that promote long-term stability and recovery. Daniel specializes in treating ADHD, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and trauma-related conditions. His areas of focus include anxiety, childhood and adolescent behavioral concerns, and sleep-related difficulties, while also offering additional support across a wide range of mental health conditions. He provides medication management and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)–informed strategies and mindfulness-based approaches to help patients better understand symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and improve overall functioning. He treats children and adolescents, including teens, as well as adults across the lifespan, and has experience working with select populations such as military and veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and patients with autism spectrum disorders, in addition to others. His clinical style emphasizes clear communication, collaborative decision-making, and respect for each patient’s background and goals. Outside of clinical work, Daniel enjoys cooking, hiking, skiing, attending concerts, listening to podcasts, and reading—interests that help him stay balanced and connected.
