Welcome to the Practice of Dr. Mario J Perez

My mission is to offer compassionate, personalized care for those seeking recovery from psychiatric conditions, especially substance use disorders, ADHD, and trauma. I believe every client is unique and am committed to creating treatment plans that meet your specific needs and challenges.

I completed medical school, a psychiatry residency, and an addiction psychiatry fellowship at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and also trained in psychodynamic therapy at the Denver Psychoanalytic Institute. I combine medication, and psychodynamic psychotherapy with evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I also manage an inpatient addiction team at the University of Colorado Hospital's Center for Dependency, Addiction, and Rehabilitation (CeDAR). Through my work at CeDAR, I continually deepen my understanding of treating substance use disorders by learning from direct care with patients and the expertise of our dedicated team.

Ideal clients are individuals who are ready to take the brave step toward recovery and are seeking a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I am here to guide you with empathy and expertise. Our goal is to help you overcome your challenges, improve your mental health, and achieve lasting wellness.
