Thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care for adults in Colorado

Welcome to North Star Psychiatry, a private, telehealth-based psychiatry practice focused on careful diagnosis and collaborative, compassionate treatment. 
Services include medication management, therapy, and lifestyle-informed approaches for mood and mental health concerns.

Introduction:

Hello! I'm Andi Woodbury, DO.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with a passion for helping people navigate the complexities that arise with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and previous trauma.  My treatment philosophy centers around getting to know each patient and their unique history, creating a space of compassion and safety, and building with them a plan forward using treatments tailored to their individual circumstances.

​

I help adults who are struggling with ongoing symptoms improve their mood and be more present in their lives using a thoughtful combination of medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle support.

Areas of Expertise

Mountaineous Landscape

Depression

​Signs can include:

  • Feeling overly sad without much (or any) relief

  • Low energy

  • Low motivation

  • Feeling uninterested in life

  • Previous hobbies no longer bring you happiness​

  • Change in appetite (up or down)

  • Change in sleep (up or down)

 

Depression shows up differently for everyone and I have successfully worked with many people who had only limited success with prior treatments.
 

There is hope!

I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the full context of your mental health offering therapy, medications, and lifestyle coaching to help you see real improvements in your symptoms.

 Bipolar disorder

Signs can include:

  • Feeling like your mood is "all over the place"

  • Irritability

  • Mood shifts that seem unrelated to life events

  • Mood shifts that happen quicker or longer than they used to

  • Changes in sleep

  • Changes in appetite

 

Mood instability can make it difficult to feel grounded in your day-to-day life and can affect work, relationships, and overall well-being.

 

You may have tried medications in the past that were ineffective or difficult to tolerate.

​

I work with patients to better understand their mood patterns and contributing factors. I use an individualized approach that may include psychotherapy, lifestyle-informed strategies, and thoughtful medication adjustments.  All of these with the goal of improving emotional regulation and overall stability.

Anxiety

Signs can include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed

  • Easily overstimulated

  • Difficulty relaxing

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Rest doesn't feel restorative

  • Irritability

 

I work with patients to understand the full depth of how their symptoms arose including the underlying drivers of anxiety and stress.

I then use a goal-informed approach driven by you that addresses stress,  patterns of thinking, and lifestyle factors using therapy practices and appropriate medications. 

Trauma/PTSD

Signs can include:

  • Irritability

  • Disrupted sleep

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Feeling disconnected

  • Avoiding situations

  • Emotional numbness

 

Whether the trauma is recent or farther in the past, triggers can arise unexpectedly and reactivate symptoms even when you are trying to move forward.

 

I provide trauma-informed psychiatric care that emphasizes safety and collaboration, with an emphasis on building trust, supporting nervous system regulation, and moving at a pace that feels sustainable.

 

Care may include psychotherapy, lifestyle support, and medication with attention to stabilization, resilience, and long-term recovery.

Others

I also treat many other complex mental health complaints.  I offer a free consultation to discuss your situation and see if becoming a part of my practice is right for you.
