Your Trusted Psychiatrist in Boulder, CO
Psychiatry of Boulder was founded by Dr. William Wenokor, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 30 years of clinical experience. Our practice specialized in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, evidence-based psychotherapy, and personalized psychopharmacology to help patients achieve mental wellness. We integrated sleep medicine expertise, recognizing the critical link between sleep disorders and mental health. Our holistic approach emphasized lifestyle modifications, including stress management, exercise, and work-life balance, to support long-term recovery. Dr. Wenokor maintained active board certifications in both Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.While our practice has closed, we prioritized patient care through coordinated treatment plans involving therapists, primary care providers, and family support systems. Our commitment to transparency ensured patients understood all treatment options, including medication risks and benefits. Dr. Wenokor's subspecialty in Sleep Medicine made him the only psychiatrist in Boulder with this dual certification. We served individuals across the lifespan, from late adolescents to seniors, with tailored therapeutic interventions. Our closure reflects retirement, not service quality, and we remain dedicated to patient privacy through secure medical record handling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps patients modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. We treat anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders through evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies and improving emotional regulation for lasting mental wellness.

He's an excellent Psychiatrist who found out my mental health combination and figured out I have sleep apnea. I've been to psychiatrists before who have gotten their diagnoses wrong over and over, and he just figured it out with pretty sound reasoning. Not sure why the other reviews are bad, he's been very accommodating, and the office staff is very kind and helpful.

Worst excuse for a psychiatrist I've ever seen. I had an appointment on January 28th, I called to cancel that appointment because I had a dental emergency. I tried calling for a couple days prior to the appointment, but Dr. Wenokor was out of office for about a week, NOT RETURNING PHONE CALLS. When I called today to reschedule the appointment, they told me WE MISSED our appointment and we would have to pay a missed appoinment fee. I said, "No, I called you and spoke with you directly about this and cancelled it that day." The secretary tells me Dr. Wenokor will call me back and hangs up.

Peculiar and quirky discussion and analysis of my condition and treatment. I've never felt so uncomfortable and lacking of useful and constructive "help" as with Dr. W.

Rather baffled by the other reviews, which largely sound as though people are lashing out for scheduling and personality conflicts. Kinda feels like we're talking about a totally different practice. /shrug
Either way, I've had nothing but good experiences with him. About the worst thing I could say is that sometimes it takes a bit to get a call back, but that's because he books up pretty quickly. Very happy with him and his office.
