Mental Health
At Abundance Health Care, we truly believe that your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Dr. Bruner-Hill understands the impact negative mental health or mental health conditions can have on a partnering patient, so she offers a comprehensive range of services to help her patients get the high-quality care they need to live an uninterrupted and fulfilling life.
Mental Health Conditions Treated
Mental health conditions can affect people of all ages. Partners can either be born with these conditions or they can develop after a triggering event or with age. In either case, Dr. Bruner-Hill is here to help partnering patients cope with their conditions for the long term.

Mental Health Treatment Options
Dr. Bruner-Hill offers two different options for mental health treatment: medication management and counseling. We encourage you to explore more about these two treatment options below.
Medication is a popular and effective way for partnering patients to manage the symptoms of their mental health condition. Dr. Bruner-Hill will work with you to find the right medication to best manage your symptoms while reducing unwanted side effects. She does this effectively with GeneSight® testing.
Counseling is a tried-and-true method for helping partnering patients cope with their mental health struggles. Although Dr. Bruner-Hill does not offer counseling herself, she is happy to refer a qualified and skilled mental health professional that is local to the El Paso County area.
GeneSight® Testing
GeneSight® is a cutting-edge pharmacogenomic test that uses advanced medical technology to analyze how your genes may affect the outcomes of your medications. It’s not uncommon for patients to get unwanted side effects from the medications they take to manage their mental health. With the help of GeneSight® testing, Dr. Bruner-Hill can determine which medication will be most effective in managing your mental health symptoms while reducing your unwanted side effects.
This test is both non-invasive and quick to do. All Dr. Bruner-Hill needs is to swab the inside of your cheek to collect a sample of your DNA. Your DNA is then sent to a lab where it is further analyzed. Within two business days, Dr. Bruner-Hill will get your results and determine which medication works best for your body’s needs.
