TMS Therapy for Veterans: Personalized Mental Health Care

Dr. Cheryl Dasler is a double board-certified Psychiatrist in General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, serving TMS Center Centennial with a strong commitment to holistic mental health care. Following their training, they spent 10 years working within a community mental health center supporting low-income and indigent families, gaining deep insight into diverse patient needs. They went on to complete additional training in Functional Medicine, with the goal of offering patients greater insight into the physical factors contributing to their symptoms, as well as training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, which they encourage as a healing technique alongside medication management. Dr. Dasler is passionate about treating depression and ADHD, utilizing medication together with skill-building in their sessions to help patients maximize their potential. Their extensive experience also includes treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD, and they are a strong advocate for TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) as an effective non-medicative approach. Believing firmly in the mind-body connection, Dr. Dasler strives to address both aspects to deliver truly holistic, patient-centered care. Patients will find them a warm, compassionate provider who genuinely listens and works in partnership with them to find an effective treatment plan, while remaining sensitive to financial or insurance coverage factors that may impact care. They serve individuals throughout the Denver and Centennial communities.
