Brandon Sklar, MD

Brandon Sklar, MD is our supervising and treating Psychiatrist. He is a licensed physician, board certified in both psychiatry and neurology. Dr. Sklar grew up in Denver and completed his residency training in psychiatry at University of Colorado School of Medicine. He has a passion for helping those struggling with difficulty finding the right treatment and those suffering from traumatic experiences. Dr. Sklar believes each person has their own unique story which deserves to be listened to and treated with compassion. He is guided by the principle that emotions have deep meaning, especially emotions that are unpleasant and painful. Rather than helping others avoid or eradicate these feelings, he aims to help foster deeper understanding of them which in turn can open space for the processing necessary to existing in harmony with them. He places an enormous emphasis on the relationship he builds with his patients, as he believes it is the most important component of any treatment plan. His hope is that everyone he works with can live life brimming with vitality and exist authentically. Dr. Sklar co-treats clients with Dr. Abbott as she pursues licensure as a Prescribing Psychologist (RxP). Together they provide medication management, de-prescription and help with tapering off psychiatric medications, and medication plan reviews.
