About Stonegate
Stonegate is a residential community in Douglas County near Parker, within the southeastern Denver metropolitan area. Neighborhood recreation is a notable part of the community, with facilities maintained by the Stonegate Village Metropolitan District. Parks, open space, and gathering areas give residents places to spend time outside and connect with neighbors. Making time for mental health can be important. Cottonwood Psychiatry offers personalized support for residents experiencing emotional difficulties, adjusting to new circumstances, or seeking a more considered approach to ongoing care.
Medication Management and Therapy
Choosing treatment starts with discussing what you need help with and what you hope will change. Through medication management, Dr. McGuire reviews how medication is working and whether adjustments may be appropriate. Therapy lets you talk through concerns and build strategies for your day-to-day experiences. These services can be used separately or together. Cottonwood Psychiatry helps Stonegate residents consider their options through ongoing conversations. Your feedback helps guide care, allowing your treatment plan to respond to changing needs and priorities.
Personalized Psychotherapy Options
Cottonwood Psychiatry offers several ways to approach therapeutic work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on connections between thinking and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills such as emotional regulation and distress tolerance. With acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), the focus includes clarifying values and choosing meaningful actions. Psychodynamic therapy examines how past experiences can shape present difficulties. For Stonegate residents, these options provide different starting points for care. Dr. McGuire can explain the approaches and discuss their relevance to your concerns, helping you identify a direction that supports your treatment goals.
Support Through Concierge Therapy
An additional point of contact can be helpful when questions arise between appointments. Concierge therapy at Cottonwood Psychiatry is a subscription service that lets you communicate securely with Dr. McGuire through Spruce. You can use it for non-urgent questions about your care, including symptoms or medication concerns. This option supplements scheduled visits and gives you another way to discuss treatment-related issues. Responses are provided during business hours, and the service is not intended for emergencies. If you live in Stonegate and would like additional communication between visits, ask Cottonwood Psychiatry whether concierge support would suit your needs.
Collaboration for NPs and PAs

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants can inquire about working with Dr. McGuire for chart review and psychiatric guidance. Collaboration depends on the clinician’s practice circumstances and applicable requirements, so an initial discussion helps clarify the arrangement.
