About Catlin Barnes, PMHNP-BC
Catlin is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Decision Science from Carnegie Mellon University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, and a Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University.
With over four years of clinical experience in outpatient psychiatry, Catlin has had the privilege of assisting individuals navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. A significant portion of her practice has been dedicated to ketamine-based therapies. I have extensive experience administering intravenous (IV) ketamine infusions, providing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and managing a comprehensive Spravato (esketamine) program. This has allowed her to directly support over one hundred patients through their healing journeys with these innovative treatments.
In addition to her expertise in ketamine therapies, Catlin specializes in medication management, ensuring that each patient's medication regimen is tailored to their unique needs and treatment goals. She is authorized to prescribe psychiatric medications and has extensive experience in managing and adjusting treatment plans to optimize outcomes. This comprehensive approach allows her to integrate various treatment modalities, providing holistic and personalized care to each individual.
Originally from Pennsylvania, Catlin is proud to call Colorado home. As an Army wife and mother of three, she understands the complexities of balancing personal well-being with life's demands. In her free time, she enjoys working out, camping, and practicing the same lifestyle principles she encourages in my clients.
These personal values—combined with her professional experience—have shaped her approach to care. She believes in the profound impact of lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management on emotional well-being. While medication can be incredibly effective, it isn’t always the first or only solution. Often, what’s truly needed is a deeper understanding of your daily life, your support system, and the full picture of your mental and physical health. Catlin’s goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen and heard, and to work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized path toward healing.
