Paige Richardson

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I recently made Colorado Springs home. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The University of Texas at Austin in 2021. In 2026, I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at UT Health San Antonio.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse in both women’s health and inpatient psychiatry. My time in labor and delivery and postpartum care gave me an early appreciation for how closely mental health can be connected to physical health and major life changes. Working in psychiatric nursing strengthened that interest and ultimately shaped the kind of provider I wanted to become.

My approach to care is collaborative and individualized, with an emphasis on helping patients feel informed and involved in their treatment. I especially enjoy working with women and young adults who want to understand their mental health better and improve their quality of life, even if they are not sure where to begin. I value creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where patients can ask questions, explore their options, and take an active role in decisions about their care. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and supporting mental wellness across different stages of life.
