Dr. Talmage Nielsen is a board-certified psychiatrist at Serenity Mental Health Centers in Colorado Springs, CO. He offers compassionate, personalized care for individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and more.

Dr. Nielsen earned his medical degree from Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Southern Utah. He served as Chief Psychiatry Resident for two years at Crozer Medical Center in Pennsylvania, where he treated underserved populations until the hospital’s closure. He then completed his residency at Main Line Health.

Throughout his training and career, Dr. Nielsen has seen the stigma and challenges that too often stand in the way of mental health treatment. His goal is to help break those barriers by creating a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard and empowered. He believes in working collaboratively with each individual, combining active listening with evidence-based treatments to support meaningful, long-term healing.

Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Nielsen enjoys spending time with his wife and their two pets—a German Shepherd and a cat. He’s passionate about the outdoors and often spends his free time working on landscaping projects or enjoying Colorado’s natural beauty.

Dr. Nielsen is proud to be part of the Serenity team and is committed to delivering exceptional psychiatric care to the Colorado Springs community.
