Dr. Nicole Shadid, MD

Our family member had a pretty scary diagnoses of various psychotic disorders (Schizophrenia vs Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar type, vs Bipolar I Disorder), and had been on mood stabilizers and antipsychotic medications for years. After serious discussions and considerations, we tapered and removed the psychiatric medications, so we could get a new mental health baseline and evaluate the situation better. And at the end of this treatment plan, our family member is successfully off all medications, does not have these diagnoses anymore, and is feeling and functioning great. Pretty remarkable!! Dr. Shadid's input was life changing and helped to open up an entirely different trajectory in life for our family member's future.

I have been dealing with anxiety for most of my life. Dr. Shadid identified several underlying causes of anxiety (Lyme Disease, Mold Toxins, etc.) that were greatly impacting my health. Since being treated for Lyme and other co-infections, my quality of life has vastly improved. I was having such extreme symptoms of panic in the morning it was crippling. I was trying all the right things but having to rely on as-needed sedatives more often than I was comfortable just to get through activities of daily living. Now that I've addressed some of these systemic health issues, I'm feeling so much better. I rarely take medicine for panic, am exercising and living life much more normally for lack of a better word. I'm so grateful that Dr. Shadid took me on as a patient and took the time/patience to look more deeply into my overall health. I would highly recommend Dr. Shadid as a doctor. She has literally changed my life (significantly) for the better.

Dr. Shadid was the first doctor who heard me, and was able to get to the root of my issues after many years of struggling with unexplained symptoms. It is because of her I was able to identify a serious issue with my health, and getting treatment has made a very large, positive impact on my mental health. She is firm but kind, and has made a difference in my life that I won't soon forget.

I spent 7 years with psychiatrists that didn't truly understand the root causes of post-partum depression nor was I able to gain stability, safety, or happiness. I knew there had to be something better "out there," someone who had to know a better way to treat depression, to give me hope, to keep me from taking my life and leaving my children motherless, someone who could give my life back to me! That someone is Dr. Shadid. Dr. Shadid is one impressive psychiatrist. She has taken her passion, devotion, intelligence, and natural talents to give her patients THE VERY BEST CARE possible for mental health. She has gone above and beyond psychiatric medical training to add the incredible benefits of natural and functional medicine to her practice. She is kind, understanding, and has the diagnostic tools and knowhow to get answers for root causes of mental health issues. Few docs have set the bar higher for themselves to be truly exceptional - Dr. Shadid is one of them.

I came to Dr. Shadid for depression and anxiety almost 8 years ago now and I can honestly say she is the most knowledgeable, thorough, and tenderhearted provider I’ve ever had. She makes you feel seen, heard, and loved. She recognizes you for not only your mental health struggles, but acknowledges your heart, soul, and entire experience as a human being. She does not simply or carelessly give diagnoses and medications like so many apathetic psychiatrists I’ve seen in the past have. She truly and deeply cares for you and your well-being and her integrative and holistic approaches have been extremely beneficial for my growth and are also gloriously flipping the mental health field upside down. I’m genuinely so grateful to have found Dr. Shadid. I highly, HIGHLY recommend her. Her intelligence and deep compassion have changed my life for the better and I could not be more thankful.

Dr Shadid has been a wonderful psychiatrist for me over the past six years. She takes the time to ask the right questions and educate me about the best courses of treatment.

She is extremely knowledgable and her integrative approach to treatment addresses the whole person, mind and body. She takes the time to listen to any and all concerns, and makes sure to address all issues. I have been a patient of Dr. Shadid's for over 8 years now, and am so grateful that I found her. She truly has changed my life for the better, by listening to my concerns and using various approaches to treat them. From medication management, to micronutrient/hormone/vitamins and minerals levels testing, to anxiety management techniques; she offers help and hope in a variety of ways. I highly recommend Dr. Shadid and her wealth of knowledge and resources.

I am so grateful that I found Dr Shadid for my mental health needs. She is kind, compassionate, empathetic and a true professional.

Her approach of integrative and holistic mental healthcare treatment is excellent. I have grown as a person and my mental health has improved greatly since starting my treatment with her.

Dr. Shadid demonstrates excellent communication, professionalism, empathy, and knowledge. I first came to Dr. Shadid with 4 different diagnoses and multiple medications at higher doses and in a short amount of time Dr. Shadid was able to make one diagnosis with only 2 medications. My quality of life has changed drastically and I cannot thank Dr Shadid enough!

Dr. Shadid is an excellent doctor. I started seeing her for major depression and anxiety. Less than a year later I feel 100% better. I can't thank her enough.

I've been seeing psychiatrists for most of my life for Bipolar II Disorder. We figured out my medication a long time ago and I was completely fine until my forties when my hormones started shifting. At this time I started experienced irritability to the point of extreme anger, mild depression and also a very foggy brain. Dr. Nicole Shadid has an integrative approach to psychiatry so I decided to see her. I was immediately put at ease with her kindness and impressed with her determination. She sent me for a micronutrient test, a neurotransmitter test, and a much more thorough hormone test. I also decided to take a DNA test to determine the effects of specific medications on my body. Using the results of these test I started taking seven supplements. Five months later my anger and depression are gone and my brain is clear. I was amazed when Dr. Shadid showed me the list of symptoms I came in with compared to now. They are all gone. I would recommend Dr. Shadid to anyone I know.

Nicole is the best Psychiatrist I've ever seen. She's empathetic, informed and treats the whole mind vs. just giving you a prescription. I can't recommend her enough. She is a proponent of mixing holistic practices with meds, which makes a huge difference.

Dr.Shadid is warm and compassionate. She is very knowledgeable and also up to date on alternative things like vitamin therapies, meditation, and various forms of behavior modification. She has been wonderful to me during my depression and helping me with my grief after the death of my daughter. I would recommend her to anyone needing the services of a psychiatrist. She is outstanding!

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Shadid upon moving to Colorado about 3 years ago. She is so great at figuring out what medications and/or nutritional/holistic will work best for me. I feel that she makes sure she is up-to-date within her field she sincerely cares about her patients, she is a great listener, and she is always on time! I would recommend Dr. Shadid to anyone interested in a super well-rounded Psychiatrist.

When I first started seeing Dr. Shadid, I was in crisis. She helped me return to a normal/healthier state very quickly. I had seen other M.D.s who prescribed more meds to fix my situation; only making it worse. Dr. Shadid helped me learn how to cope with my anxiety, stress and lack of focus using an integrated approach as well as increasing my awareness of causes that exacerbate my conditions. She is a great listener, compassionate, down to earth and easy to talk to. I am so grateful to her!

I have been seeing Dr. Shadid for years. She takes a complete approach to wellness to include nutrition, lifestyle, mindfulness and if needed, medication. I have recommended Dr. Shadid to close friends and know she will treat them professionally and compassionately.. She is an excellent psychiatrist and I am thankful to have her as a provider.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Shadid. She offers an exceptional level of therapy, she cares about her patients, and she provides service with a very comfortable and warm approach. I have truly gotten a lot from my sessions with Dr. Shadid, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a psychiatrist in the Denver area!

Dr Shadid is the best Psychaitrist out there. I've seen healthcare professionals for a mental health condition for over 20 years. I like her holistic approach toward healing the mind, body, and spirit. In a short period of time, she has helped me tremendously with her insight.... very caring, attentive and insightful. Simply, best in class!

I'm early in the process but appreciate Dr. Shadid's integrative approach to therapy. She's so open to using many different tools to help navigate through issues. It's a refreshing strategy and already I feel a positive shift in reactions and old ways of thinking. It's never easy but I feel optimistic that this work will yield positive results.

Dr. Shadid gave me the tools to put my life back on track. Her integrative approach is exemplar, and she does not push medication-- she makes sure to cover all alternatives before prescribing. She is passionate about making sure you understand why a particular medication is being prescribed, as well as the science of neuropsychiatric disorders. She provides multiple approaches, besides pharmacological ones to deal with your problems. I feel like I can deal with anything life throws at me now.
