It works, but not enough
The worst days are gone, but you would not call it better. That gap is worth treating, not tolerating.
Board-certified psychiatry · In person in Phoenix or by telehealth across Arizona
Every person responds to medication differently. We review your full history, every prescription you are on, and how you are actually doing — then build the plan around that, rather than around the clock.

Before your first appointment
Is this you?
None of them require anything to have gone dramatically wrong. Most of the time it is just that nobody has had the time to look at the whole picture in a while.
The worst days are gone, but you would not call it better. That gap is worth treating, not tolerating.
Weight, sleep, libido, flatness. You stopped mentioning them because nothing changed when you did.
One drug added at a time, over years, by different prescribers — and nobody has reviewed the whole list since.
Stopping safely takes a structured taper and monitoring. It is a real goal, and we will plan for it.
Adults, teens and geriatric patients
Not sure it is worth switching? One call, and we will tell you honestly either way.
Request an appointmentWhat we manage
A comprehensive medication management plan keeps every part of your treatment under review — and adjusts it as your response changes.
Checked across every prescription you are taking, not just the ones we wrote.
Identified early and actively managed, rather than treated as the price of feeling better.
Tuned to what is actually happening for you — the effective dose is rarely the starting one.
Tracked at every visit so a plan that stops working gets changed, not repeated.
Bring your bottles. Or a pharmacy printout. Taking over a regimen that grew over years — including one started by a provider you no longer see — is routine for us.
The standard psychiatric refill visit runs about fifteen minutes. Here is what changes when it doesn't.

And if medication alone turns out not to be the answer, TMS, SPRAVATO® and ECT are in the same practice — no referral maze, no starting over.
Your first visit
Tell us briefly what you are on and what isn’t working. We confirm we are the right fit and check your insurance benefits before you commit to anything.
Your full history, every medication you have tried and are taking now, medical factors, side effects and what you want to be different. In person or by telehealth.
What we are changing, why, what to expect and when. Including what we are stopping — not every plan adds something.
Long enough to talk about how it is actually going. We adjust as we track your response rather than waiting months to reassess.
Your current bottles
Or a printout from your pharmacy — names and doses.
What you have tried
Anything you stopped, and why, even years ago.
One thing to change
The symptom that would matter most to you if it lifted.

Why patients switch
We built this clinic around the patients who are hardest to help — and around the belief that complex cases deserve more time, not less.
Appointments are built for real conversation. We ask about sleep, work, relationships and side effects — not just a symptom checklist.
Serious mental illness, co-occurring substance use, geriatric complexity and prior treatment failures are the work we do every day.
If medication alone isn’t enough, TMS, SPRAVATO® and ECT are coordinated by the same team who already know your story.
Most major plans are accepted, and our team verifies benefits and handles prior authorizations before treatment begins.
One conversation, and an honest answer either way.

Questions
Interventional Psychiatry of Arizona works with most major insurance plans. Coverage and copays vary by plan, so our team verifies your benefits before your first appointment and tells you what you will owe.
That depends on your plan — a deductible, copay or coinsurance may still apply. Our team verifies your benefits before your first appointment and tells you what your policy covers, so there are no surprises. Self-pay options are available; ask us on the first call.
Because a medication plan is only as good as the history behind it. The initial evaluation covers your mental health history, every medication you have tried and are currently taking, medical factors, side effects and your goals. That is what lets us tailor a plan rather than guess at one.
Yes. Evaluations, medication management and follow-up visits can be done virtually anywhere in Arizona. Some patients do the first appointment in person and everything after that from home.
No referral is required to schedule with us. If you are already working with a therapist or primary care provider, we are glad to coordinate so everyone stays aligned.
Yes. Taking over an existing regimen — including a complicated one built up over years, or one started by a provider you no longer see — is routine for us. Bring your current bottles or a pharmacy list to the first visit.
That is a legitimate goal and we plan for it. Stopping a psychiatric medication safely usually means a structured taper with monitoring, not simply stopping — which is exactly the kind of thing regular follow-ups are for.
Depression and treatment-resistant depression, anxiety and panic, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, OCD, schizophrenia and psychosis including long-acting injectables, ADHD, insomnia, substance use, and geriatric psychiatry.
