Find answers to common questions about Paperflower Psychiatry's services, including appointments, insurance coverage, payment options, medication management, and more. Explore our FAQs for quick and helpful guidance Frequently Asked Questions Services Appointments Ketamine & Psychedelics Billing Providers Other Anchor 1 Preguntas frecuentes Do you see all ages? We specialize in seeing young adults - but we see ages 5 and up. Do you do therapy? We focus on medication management, but can do supportive therapy and offer suggestions through our appointments. We highly recommend that everyone who takes psychiatric medication also has a therapist. We have many recommendations and referrals if needed. Do you diagnose Autism or developmental disabilities? We do offer neurodivergence evaluations for autism utilizing a the MIDGAS-2 and/or ADOS-2 which are evidence-based tools for diagnostics. We cannot diagnose developmental disabilities, cannot test IQ and we do not offer evaluations for learning concerns such as dyslexia. **However, the department of developmental disabilities does not accept a diagnosis of autism by nurse practitioners in the state of Arizona. Developmental pediatricians, psychologists and psychiatrists are the best option for autism diagnoses, while psychologists are the best option for diagnosing learning disabilities or dyslexia. If you would like a diagnosis of autism for validation or accommodations, we can help with that. Do you prescribe medication to pregnant folks? Yes! If needed we can work on a safe treatment plan and review all of the possible risks and benefits of starting or continuing pharmacological treatment throughout your pregnancy. Two to five weeks after giving birth is the riskiest time to develop a mood disorder, so we will be able to monitor you through this period as well. Will you work with my therapist/other provider? With a release of information, we would certainly love to! Collaboration is our preference. What is involved in an evaluation? We will ask questions about development (pregnancy/first years of life/childhood), school, work if applicable, interests, family pets, and medical history along with a lot of questions about sleep, eating, emotions and mood. We may ask you, a parent or teacher to fill out a questionnaires in some cases or request other documentation. Some things are hard to talk about, so appointment is in YOUR control and the focus is to make you feel safe and comfortable. If you would like to involve a friend, significant other, or family member for support, we are happy to allow that. After the appointment we will talk about the diagnosis and treatment options. Does a telehealth appointment always need to be on video? Yes, in order to diagnose the individual, it is very important to be able to have the evaluation via video. BOTH the guardian(s) AND the child need to be present for evaluation and med appointments of anyone under 18 years of age unless otherwise agreed upon. If I have an appointment for my child, do they need to be present too? Yes, if you would like an appointment without them present, that is booked separately and not covered by insurance. What if I run out of meds before my appointment? Send over an email or request, and we can take care of you. Exceptions do exist such as for frequent missed appointments, not obtaining necessary labs or controlled substances. We require an appointment on file in order to send any refills and for all payments to either be complete, or a payment plan to be in place. If we have never met and you are running low on medication, we can most likely have a phone call and bridge you until your evaluation. Do you prescribe Xanax, Ativan or other Benzos? Due to current research on the addictive nature of benzo's, withdrawals when coming off of them and the potential for development of dementia and other long term risk factors, we do not prescribe these medications. We can help find alternatives for anxiety. Do you work with eating disorders or substance abuse? We are not equipped at this time to work with significant eating disorders or substance abuse at this time. There are intensive outpatient options for substance abuse, groups and other resources in Arizona for substance abuse. We can also refer to places that specialize in eating disorders. Do you do Emotional Support Animal Letters? Yes! We will need to discuss in length during an evaluation more about the animal(s) in question. We do not prescribe service animals. Please understand the difference prior to making a request. We do charge for paperwork. Do you do FMLA or Disability Paperwork? This depends on your provider. If you are not in therapy, IOP, taking regular medications and doing other things to ensure you can recover, we likely cannot fill out disability for you. We are very lenient about filling out FMLA. However, PLEASE check with the provider of your paperwork to ensure that a nurse practitioner is sufficient PRIOR to asking us to fill it out. This is solely your responsibility. Very few disability and other types of paperwork require a psychiatrist to fill out the form, and will not accept our signatures. We do charge for paperwork. We also do not guarantee anything will be approved. What's going on with this ADHD Test? We offer the QBCheck and TOVA at all of our locations. This is a 15 minute test for ages 6-11, or a 20 minute test for ages 12 to adulthood. You will be brought into a room in which we will set you up on a laptop computer. The computer will provide instructions prior to starting the task on which buttons to press on the keyboard at which times. Parents do not stay in the room during the evaluation for kids. This test will provide information. You can take the test without an evaluation or follow up if you are not interested in interpretation. If you would like interpretation, we require a full evaluation (or if you are established, a follow up to talk about it). You receive a report via email after completing the task. We have a blog post in our blog section about it! Does the TOVA or QBcheck allow me to claim my diagnosis of ADHD? No. Having a score is consistent with ADHD does not mean you have ADHD. We cannot offer you a letter or a diagnosis based solely on this test. This is a tool which can help diagnose you -- but that still requires a full evaluation. You can offer this to your therapist or psychiatrist if you are not in care with us. Appointments Anchor 2 Do I need to live in Arizona to receive care? Yes. We are currently only licensed in Arizona to provide care. We can still help if you go to college out of state. How do I reschedule/cancel my appointment? Find your confirmation email. It will have an option to cancel or reschedule. You will not have this option if it is under 24 options prior to the appointment time. Alternatively, you can email support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com or text 928-504-4700 to cancel or reschedule your appointment. You are be able to go on our website and rebook a time slot that works best for you. What is a "no show"? A "no show" is defined as not attending your appointment, a cancellation under 24 hours prior to your appointment time, and/or attending your appointment 10+ minutes late.. If there are technical difficulties or other things causing a delay, text 928-504-4700 for help. They will be able to notify your provider. Do you make exceptions for no shows? In extremely rare cases -- if you have proof you were hospitalized, for instance, we will not charge you. Can you use labs from my other provider instead of getting new ones? Sure can. Send a copy to support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com. We may need to order additional labs depending on what was ordered. Can I have a copy of my records? Yup. You have a right to your medical records. Just give us some advanced notice. Medical record requests should be in writing to our support team, and will be sent within 30 days. We do charge a $50 fee for a medical record request if your file is larger than one note. Please note, HIPAA allows us to charge a reasonable processing fee prior to providing your records. Can you refer me to a therapist? YES! We have a HUGE network of therapists who are amazing that we work with. We can figure out someone who takes your insurance, or has an affordable self-pay cost and would be most beneficial to your needs. Check out our referrals section! My medication isn't ready/being allowed to be filled/wasn't sent. HELP. Please CALL your pharmacy first before contacting us. We always send medications and most likely this is a pharmacy or insurance issue - they may have the wrong insurance listed, it may be too early to fill your prescription, they may need a prior authorization (contact us for that) or may not have it in stock. 99% of the time, we have to call the pharmacy and then call you back that it was a pharmacy issue..if you call them directly, you can cut out the middle man and get it filled faster :) DO NOT RELY ON PHARMACY APPS! Where do I find the link to my telehealth session? The link to your telehealth session can be found on your confirmation email. THE LINK WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME FOR EACH PROVIDER EVERY SINGLE VISIT. IT DOES NOT CHANGE. The link will always start with sessions.psychologytoday.com The link for my telehealth session isn't working / it's been 6-8 minutes and my provider has not checked me in. What do I do? Call 928-504-4700 and if it goes to voicemail, text immediately. Why are appointments so long? Honestly..so we can get to know you as a human, and really hear your story and develop a plan for you. We'd rather spend a ton of time getting to know you (and ya know, you can give us the tea on life) and REALLY understanding what's going on so we can recommend the correct meds and treatment plan. If we rush, what's the point? It also gives you space to ask questions and not feel super rushed. We're not those 3-minute appointment " see you in 3 months" kind of providers. Can my baby/toddler attend? Can I breastfeed during the appointment? YES! Many of us are parents and our own young children (or dogs..or cats..) may be popping in and out of appointments. Your baby, toddler and children are always invited if you are comfortable. We can roll with distractions, tantrums, you name it. It also sucks we live in a society where people feel uncomfortable breastfeeding in public or even professional settings. Your baby or toddler is hungry, you feed 'em. Is this formal? Can I eat snacks during the appointment? This is the least formal appointment you've ever attended. Promise. Plz eat snacks and bring the tea. I did not vibe with my provider. What do I do? Just book a follow up with another provider. We promise if you switch we don't get offended. I do not agree with my evaluation results. What do I do? You can always request a second opinion within our practice. Just book another evaluation with another provider. Can I drive during my appointment? No. This is a huge danger. Please don't do it. Plz. We will reschedule you and you will be charged. Do I need to be present for my child's appointment? Yes unless arranged otherwise with the provider - especially the first evaluation. Evaluations without the guardian present will be rescheduled. You will still be charged. We cannot make any medication decisions without your attendance if your child is a minor. If you do not attend, no medication decisions can be made, and you will be required to make another appointment with both you and the child present in order to discuss options. You will need to pay for both appointments -- it is your responsibility to attend as your child is not able to make legal decisions. Can you tell me what my child said to you during your time with them? Due to confidentiality laws, we are held to a standard of maintaining privacy for your child. The only exception is if your child poses a threat to themselves or others, in cases of abuse, or is being/at risk of being harmed. I don't get along with the other parent of my child. Can we do separate appointments/emails/etc? It is our policy that both guardians of the parents need to be on every email chain -- especially if there is joint medical decision making. We expect parents to prioritize their child's mental health at this time..especially since separation, divorce and parental conflict can be very difficult for the child/teen. That means all appointments will be expected to be attended together, and all communications should include both parents/guardians. What if there is a custody arrangement for my child? All court custody documentation must be presented along with appropriate identification. For joint custody, medication decisions will not be made without both parents present at the appointment. You may log on the appointment from different homes. Will my child be spoken to privately during the appointment? In most cases, we do request to spend some time with the child privately to ask questions. Sometimes answers vary - especially depending on age. If your child is really uncomfortable with a few minutes alone speaking with us, usually we can wait until later appointments if they request the parent stays present. Can I do some in person appointments and some telehealth? Sure - we are also open to switching last minute if necessary to telehealth due to things like illness, childcare issues, etc. But bear in mind, your provider may have driven up to an hour into the office if you are the only in person appointment scheduled that day. This requires advanced notice. Will my child be spoken to privately during the appointment? In most cases, we do request to spend some time with the child privately to ask questions. Sometimes answers vary - especially depending on age. If your child is really uncomfortable with a few minutes alone speaking with us, usually we can wait until later appointments if they request the parent stays present. Will my child be spoken to privately during the appointment? In most cases, we do request to spend some time with the child privately to ask questions. Sometimes answers vary - especially depending on age. If your child is really uncomfortable with a few minutes alone speaking with us, usually we can wait until later appointments if they request the parent stays present. Anchor 3 Ketamine & Psychedelics Do you offer Ketamine at all of your locations? Currently we are only offering IM Ketamine to clients who agree to have Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with Find your Shine in Tempe. Do you plan to expand? Maybe! I see you have some consulting noted on your services section and I am highly interested. More info on this coming soon! Do you offer Spravato? At this time, no. But we do plan to offer this as an alternative for KAP for those who want to use insurance. Does insurance cover Ketamine or KAP? At this time, it is currently not covered by insurance companies and therefore is self pay. More coming soon! Anchor 4 Billing What are your self pay rates? We charge $300 for an evaluation and $120 for a follow up for self pay. Please note if you have an insurance deductible, you may owe slightly more than that. I received an outrageous bill. Help??? Your visit should never been too far off from the self-pay rates. If you are receiving a bill that your visit was $375+, then please note this is likely an error that will be fixed. Plz do not stress. We will always contact you if there is an insurance issue. Call or text our billing team: 602-613-0455 What insurance do you take? We currently take most plans of BCBS, Cigna, UHC + Aetna. Please check and make sure your insurance has MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS prior to scheduling. We do not take AHCCCS at this time..because AHCCCS won't let us contract with them :) Why do I need a credit card on file to have an appointment? We process all fees/copays/etc prior to the appointment. With the volume of appointments and in honor of keeping our prices reasonable (and being able to continue to take insurance), we cannot be calling each person trying to obtain individual payments. We do not have the staff available to make that happen. You will need a credit card on file WITH an HSA card if you choose to use an HSA/FSA account. How are fees/copays collected? The night prior to your visit, copays and self-pay fees are collected to your card on file. Please ensure if you have an HSA account that it has the proper amount of money in it prior to your visit. If you need to unlock your card, please do it 24 hours before your visit to avoid cancellation. Deductibles are typically collected after the insurance processes the claim which can be days or weeks (sometimes months) later. We charge them to the card on file. Do you do payment plans or sliding scale? Yes! Contact our billing team at billing@paperflowerpsychiatry.com for our application for these. You will need to offer documentation and proof of income. What if I lost my job/insurance/can't afford this anymore? Absolutely! We want you to be able to afford care. Let us know what you can do and we will make something work. Please contact us so we can discuss plans and options. With our current economy, it can be difficult to obtain healthcare and psychiatric services at this time. Do not hesitate to contact us if this is a concern, and we promise we will find a way to continue your care. We will require proof of loss of income or job. Will insurance cover my medication? Most likely, yes! Your pharmacy will be able to check to see if your insurance covers your medication. Why am I being charged if I have insurance? You may have a "deductible." This means that your insurance company expects you to owe a percentage (from 20% up to the full amount of the visit) until you reach a set amount of money. Once you have paid that amount of money, the insurance company then agrees to start paying for your healthcare. For example, if you have a $2,000 deductible, your insurance company expects you to pay $2,000 out of pocket for your healthcare visits before they will pay any of your visits. You can call or text our billing team for an explanation -- 6026130455 or billing@paperflowerpsychiatry.com I have a billing question. Who do I contact? You can contact 6026130455 or billing@paperflowerpsychiatry.com I believe I was overcharged. What do I do? Please email billing@paperflowerpsychiatry.com with your concerns and a screenshot of your bank account. CHECK with your insurance to see if you have a deductible if you are concerned about a charge after giving us your insurance information. I was left a message saying my insurance denied my claim because I need to update coordination of benefits. What does this mean? This means that your insurance company believes that you have another insurance as your "primary." If you do not have another insurance, please call your insurance company and ask to "update my coordination of benefits." From there, tell them you do not have any other health insurance. If you do have other health insurance, you may need to give them that other insurance information and tell them if they are your primary insurance. What if I don't want to pay you? I'm not happy with my appointment, etc. If we have provided you a service, we trust you to pay for that service -- if you do not pay us, we cannot pay your provider for that time they spent with you. You are legally required to pay copays if your insurance has paid anything for your visit. If you continue to refuse or avoid payment, we will send your balance to a collections agency with an additional $200 fee. Also remember, we are humans trying to make ends meet with student loans and other expenses. None of us are wealthy. Can you make me a superbill? Upon request, we can provide you with a superbill. A superbill is an itemized list of services you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement after paying out of pocket. Check with your insurance company to see if they accept out of network superbills for psychiatric behavioral health. I was left a message saying my insurance denied my claim because I need to update coordination of benefits. What does this mean? This means that your insurance company believes that you have another insurance as your "primary." If you do not have another insurance, please call your insurance company and ask to "update my coordination of benefits." From there, tell them you do not have any other health insurance. If you do have other health insurance, you may need to give them that other insurance information and tell them if they are your primary insurance. What if I can't afford my medications? We are very familiar with prices of medications, services such as GoodRX, the Mark Cuban Pharmacy and other means to save money on prescriptions. We can work together to find an affordable solution. Just let us know! Why was I charged when I didn't attend my appointment? In our consent to treatment and no show agreement forms, you have agreed to compensate your provider for their time if you (1) do not cancel your appointment over 24 hours prior (2) show up 10+ minutes late to your appointment (3) do not attend your appointment. Fees are $275/evaluation and $120/follow up visit. I want a refund. We do not give refunds in any circumstance after the appointment has been started -- even if you leave early or your provider ends the appointment early. Why are there fees and charges for EVERYTHING!? All you care about is money. We do want to keep our practice open and this is incredibly important to us. Our overhead and support team is extremely expensive each month. Ask yourself, would you show up for work if your boss said "you need to come in and wait here, but maybe I'll pay you and maybe I won't"? Would you do hours of paperwork after work hours for free? Every minute we are working is still work time for us. We care about you and we love our jobs. We just need to value our time too. Providers Anchor 5 What is a nurse practitioner? A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed advanced training including a master's degree in a specialized area. After completing training, nurse practitioners are required to pass a certification exam. Historically, nurse practitioners were designed to fill the gap of not having enough prescribers in underserved areas. While some people prefer psychiatrists or medical doctors, nurse practitioners have many of the same abilities and clinical skills (however, in the state of Arizona, we cannot diagnose autism). Studies have shown that compared to medical doctors/physicians, patients of nurse practitioners report greater satisfaction, quality of care, more time receiving education and similar health outcomes. Nurse practitioners are also trained with a more holistic model of care vs. a medical model, which includes considerations for the entire person as a whole. What provider do I schedule with? All of us have some fun facts about ourselves along with a biography which should help you find a provider you would feel most comfortable with. Why am I seeing a student, not my provider? We are a teaching practice and often have students shadowing us or doing the questions. We will not let students make medical decisions - your provider makes all decisions. What if I don't want to see a student NP for my appointment? If you are absolutely opposed to this, please let the support team know at support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com prior to your appointment. Please note if you have scheduled with a provider with a student, they have the right to refuse your appointment and request you see another provider instead. Our students are excellent, monitored closely and often hired on with our practice upon graduation. The student NP will NEVER be allowed to see you without the provider present and listening, and the provider ultimately makes all decisions. We are a teaching practice. What sets you apart from other medication providers? Authenticity is important to us. We genuinely love getting to know our patients and their families. Most of us do not come from highly privileged backgrounds in which we had the luxury of our parents paying for our education. For most of us, we come from lower income upbrinigings -- and are therefore a hell of a lot more humble than a lot of people. We are quirky, kinda weird, open-minded and not very professional. What is a perinatal certified provider? This is a completed training by Postpartum Support International (PSI) including advanced pharmacology training and passed a board exam which certifies a specialty in perinatal mental health. We are specialized in understanding and working with those who are family planning, pregnant, postpartum or breastfeeding. You can read more about PSI training at https://www.postpartum.net/professionals/certification/ I want to see Maria. I don't see her on the schedule. I used to see Maria, but I don't see a way to schedule with her. Help? Maria can no longer see patients except in rare cases. She is currently raising two toddlers, working on expanding and management of the practice, and supporting our nurse practitioners in being rad providers. My provider is on vacation and I need help. Maria works on call typically. Please contact support with concerns and we can advise you. Can I complain on my provider? Sure. You can email maria@paperflowerpsychiatry.com with any concerns. Can I switch providers for one appointment? YES! If your provider is booked out, does not have availability that suits your needs, or you would like to explore the option of switching providers, you can switch to another provider at any time. We will review your previous provider's notes and plan for you prior to your appointment. We don't take it personally if you need to have an appointment with another provider. We all function as a team and a family. My provider didn't give me what I wanted. Now what? We are not a drive-through medication service. Your provider will evaluate you and come up with a plan that they believe is safe, evidence-based and would suit your individual needs. We do not take "orders" for medications, and while we work as a team to find a solution that is best for you, we cannot blindly prescribe whatever you would like. We aren't really McDonalds. I emailed my provider and haven't heard back. Now what? Our providers all work different hours and may have multiple jobs, and will only be checking their emails throughout the business day. It may be more beneficial for you to send your question to support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com or to call/text 928-504-4700 for our support team to review. If necessary, they can direct your question to the provider on call if your provider is not working that day. Can I call my provider at any time? Realistically, no. We are not on-call 24-7. Your provider may have other jobs. Your provider may have a family and other responsibilities. If you would like to talk to your provider, the best option is to make an appointment to discuss concerns or changes. We are not a crisis service. If you have an emergency, you can call 911, crisis, go to your local urgent care, Mind 24/7 or emergency room. My provider ordered labs. How do I get them? If your provider ordered labs, they have been sent electronically to Sonora Quest Labs. If your insurance does not cover them or you would like to get them elsewhere, please request the lab slip from support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com. Otherwise, you can make an appointment online for any Sonora Quest location. If you are receiving labs for Lithium, please get them done 12 hours after your last dose (meaning if you have a morning dose, skip it until after labs are complete). My provider was late and/or cancelled. NOW WHAT? I know it can at times feel unfair if your provider is "allowed" to be late or cancel an appointment last minute. We do not cancel appointments without a significant reason such as a death or severe illness in the family, hospitalization, medical emergency, etc. If your provider has cancelled last minute, they are likely in an emergent situation. If your provider is going to be late, we do our best to warn you ahead of time. Sometimes the prior appointment may be in crisis, suicidal, be crying, need hospitalization, etc. and this may take slightly more time than expected. We will still give you the full time *needed* for your appointment. If you only need a few minutes which is usual for you, then no worries. If you need a full 30 minutes to discuss things, we will still make that happen. I have another psychiatric provider but I want to see you too to make sure they are giving the right medications. We can certainly do a second opinion and offer a treatment plan, but we will not continue care if you choose to have two psychiatric providers adjusting the same medication. This is not safe. Other Anchor 6 My medication isn't ready/being allowed to be filled/wasn't sent. HELP. Please CALL your pharmacy first before contacting us. We always send medications and most likely this is a pharmacy or insurance issue - they may have the wrong insurance listed, it may be too early to fill your prescription, they may need a prior authorization (contact us for that) or may not have it in stock. 99% of the time, we have to call the pharmacy and then call you back that it was a pharmacy issue..if you call them directly, you can cut out the middle man and get it filled faster :) My medication isn't in stock at my pharmacy! HELP. Please call around and find a pharmacy that has it in stock and let us know where to change it to. I read all of the questions but I am still nervous. What if this is uncomfortable or awkward? We pride ourselves on being extremely sensitive to other emotions, and we will work to make you feel comfortable. We bring in a lot of positive energy, and are happy to meet family pets and introduce our dogs over video! I don't want to deal with lowly support staff - ONLY my provider. I can do that, right? At Paperflower, we work and function as a family which includes our support team. We expect that our patients respect all members of our Paperflower family. Blatant disrespect toward our support staff can result in discharge. Why am I being discharged ? We have in our consent to treatment that if you are outside of of expertise, require specialty care, have 3+ no shows, do not pay your bill, divert your medication, or are rude to our support team or provider, you may be discharged. Our full list: Refusal to work with our support team or any disrespectful, racist, vulgar language toward our support team. Choosing to have another provider fill or change your psychiatric medications without first notifying your Paperflower provider (it's not safe!) Dishonesty in regards to, selling or misusing medication prescribed Failing to show up (or a "no show") 3+ times for your appointments Refusal to create a payment plan for balances due Refusal to maintain a credit card on file (it's just how our system needs to flow with as many appointments daily we have..) Refusal to follow up as recommended by your provider Disrespect, harassment or vulgar language towards your provider Dishonesty in regards to custody situations or legal matters A patient outside of our expertise or scope of practice Who do I contact about a refill? Contact support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com, text 928-504-4700 or leave a message on the refill voicemail box at 928-504-4700. Why aren't you refilling my medication? If your provider requested labs, a follow up that you did not attend, you have not scheduled a follow up with us or paid your bill, we may not be able to send you a refill. I haven't been seen in several years. Can I re-establish care? Sure. You will require a new evaluation if it's been over 8 months since your last visit. I'm switching to another practice but can't get in for awhile. Can I have a refill? We will give you up to a 90 day supply of medication to establish with another provider. Why are you so political and rude about America? We love our country and want the best lives for ourselves, our patients, our families and friends. This includes a democracy, education, and rights for *everyone* We cannot support an administration that attempts to erase the existence of immigrants, protesters, activists and trans folx. We cannot support an administration that erases history showing the history of the uncomfortable and dark parts of this country. We cannot support an administration that prioritizes billionaires while cutting healthcare services and thousands of jobs from hardworking people. We cannot support an administration that offers reparations to people who stormed the white house on January 6th but continues to oppress POC and indigenous communities. We cannot support RFK spewing propaganda about vaccines, autism, adhd, antidepressants and psychiatric medications. Healthcare is political. Everything about this is political. I'm worried that the Palestinian flag being on your website indicates that you are anti-semitic. I've had this discussion quite a few times, and we love our Jewish patients. We are against conflict, war, and watching the suffering or oppression of any peoples. Two things can be true at the same time -- and it is possible for two populations to be suffering in different ways at the same time. We understand the implications of this time being frightening for the Jewish community -- but we are open to talk about it, and this is still a safe place. We have resources specifically for Jewish clients on our blog for mental health. There is no hate here -- and we will actively ensure that no low-key neo-nazis will be apart of our staff. The Mexico flag on your website offends me. I would just go ahead and seek another practice if I were you, because this clearly isn't the place for you. I don't like the LGBTQIA+ flags on your website and I don't support this. Bye. How are you "inclusive" if you do not include conservative providers on your team? We cannot allow anyone to join our team who do not consider women capable of making their own decisions about their bodies, who demonize POC, or who do not want LGBTQIA+ individuals included in society at large.

Tabitha Arey, PMHNP-BC, offers trauma-informed psychiatric care at Paperflower Psychiatry. Specializing in mental health for children, teens, and adults, including foster care and substance use disorders. Now accepting new patients across Arizona. Tabitha Arey, MSN, PMHNP-BC Tabitha is a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience working with kids and teens in the foster care system, adults experiencing substance use disorders, and patients in the Trauma/Neuro ICU and COVID ICU experiencing extreme mental and physical trauma and loss. These experiences have affirmed her passion for mental health care and obsession with the fascinating and resilient nature of the human brain and people’s ability to overcome adversity. She also just generally enjoys helping others find ways to effectively cope with the bittersweetness of living, parenting, and experiencing joy in today’s social, environmental, and political climate. Her two small humans and two rescue pups keep her on her toes and provide plenty of laughter and chaos on the daily. We can confirm she has a dark sense of humor, dislikes talking about herself and will vibe with you if you're socially awkward. Neurodivergence Tabitha offers neurodivergence evaluations for autism and ADHD -- and she is an incredibly affirming presence even if you choose to go the self diagnosis route. Ketamine Tabitha will be offering Ketamine evaluations and IM administration at our Tempe location on select days. Substance Use Finding a provider who thoroughly understands and can not be judgmental in terms of treating co-existing substance use disorders can be difficult - but Tabitha is definitely your person for this. Q&A What is your favorite movie? I’m more of a TV show person, but favorite movies would include Star Wars, Avatar, and Interstellar. Favorite Superhero: Deadpool – simply for the laughs and dark humor. But Dr. Strange and Gamora are close runner ups since they are smart and badass and whatnot. If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? Time travel – pretty sure I would thrive as a cavewoman. Favorite bands/singer? I am unapologetically a product of the 90’s, so my taste in music is all over the place – some faves include Radiohead, Blink-182, Jack Johnson, or any 90’s hip hop. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? to live right next to a mountain so I could hike every day, an end to fighting/war in the name of religion, and free health care for all. Tell me a fun fact about yourself: If I had to choose another career, I’d be a marine biologist. I’ve been a scuba instructor since my early 20’s and I’m lowkey obsessed with the weird creatures in the ocean (octopus, jellyfish, nudibranchs) and love diving with sharks. Tell us about your pets: I have 2 rescue doggos. The grumpy old lady Zoe is an 11-year-old Chi-weenie who weighs 9lbs and is [obviously] the alpha. The big ol’ doofus Lincoln is a 6-year-old heeler/pitbull/dalmatian mix with tall/skinny legs, which makes him resemble an AT-AT robot from Star Wars. What are you most passionate about in the mental health field? : I mean – all of it. But if I have to pick one thing it would be ending stigma. We have come a long way, but there’s still so much shame and secrecy surrounding mental illness. Stigma just perpetuates and compounds the problems experienced by people with a mental health diagnosis. Being able to openly share and seek help without fear of judgment is the best way to realize we’re all human and we’re in this together. What are your thoughts about treating adult ADHD?: I think treatment depends on how it affects your everyday life, which can vary greatly from person to person. Being diagnosed in adulthood is becoming more common as we begin to understand how people (especially women) adapt, compensate, and mask symptoms of neurodivergence from an early age and may not match textbook definitions. If a patient is nervous about an evaluation, especially when talking about tough things like trauma or sexual abuse, what would you want them to know? You certainly don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to. It does help to have a clear picture of your history to differentiate between symptoms of trauma and other diagnoses; however, this is entirely up to you if you wish to share or not. I will ask in a general way, and you can give as much or as little info as you want. I have plenty of personal and professional experience with processing traumatic events, so you don’t have to feel alone in your tough experiences ever. What are other things you feel could be beneficial to improve mental health other than medications?: I’m a big advocate for therapy, especially if you find a therapist you vibe with and can be completely honest with. There’s also so much research supporting the effects of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and sunlight on mental health, so despite them being almost everyone’s least favorite solution – they can be a game changer. What is your philosophy on using medication to treat mental health? Are medications lifelong? : Medication for mental health can be lifesaving – I have no doubt about this. However, I understand why a person may be hesitant to try this option due to many factors, such as side effects, stigma, and general misconceptions about some meds. I do think there are many ways to approach mental health treatment and medications are only one potential piece of the puzzle. I believe medications can, in most cases, support a struggling individual in a way that allows them to not have to spend so much energy just to keep their head above water. As a result, they can instead use that energy to engage in therapy and/or other services that can help complete that mental health care puzzle and lead to more long-term solutions. The duration of medication for mental health depends entirely on the risk versus benefit for each person, and it is ultimately your choice if you decide medications aren’t right for you for any reason. Do you have any personal experiences regarding mental health you are open to sharing? sharing? I have definitely had my own experiences in mental health care throughout my life, and that is a part of what led me to this field. I think that making it through the things I’ve made it through has solidified my belief that anyone can persevere and thrive despite any setback, adversity, or shitty situation. Tell us about the intersection between your experience in the neuro ICU and psychiatry?: Neuro ICU taught me so much about how even just the smallest of changes in our brains can alter so many aspects of everyday lives including language, balance, memory, learning, motor function – everything. It was also a place where many people were experiencing the worst days of their lives at a young age due to head trauma, strokes, and other similar things. This environment nudged me into having the absolute honor of holding parent’s/spouse’s/children’s hands while guiding them through the devastating process of unexpected loss, giving me the constant reminder that there are only 2 guarantees in life: birth and death; everything in between is what we make of it. Taking care of our meat suits – especially the noggin portion can make our time here more enjoyable.

Esta es una planta hermosa y de colores brillantes que continúa prosperando en las condiciones más duras del desierto, mostrando un nivel de resiliencia que las personas con traumas y problemas de salud mental a menudo no pueden. mostrar (sin darse cuenta). Paperflower Psychiatry, LLC was launched in October 2020. Maria had been previously working at a community mental health agency and attempted to make negotiations to match the income of her male nurse practitioner coworker. Negotiations went south, human resources and the chief financial officer laughed at her request. She was already distraught at being burnt out from seeing a huge amount of patients in a short period of time. She was tired of being treated poorly by leadership, and not being able to advocate or create quality care for her patients. She was disgusted by case workers and intake specialists who were actively transphobic and homophobic, refusing to use patient's pronouns and chosen names. She was done with being looked at as a cash cow to make money for people who gave no fucks about the patients. At this point, she said "fuck it" and quit on the spot. If places like that could be corrupt as fuck and thrive, what would hold us back from having a practice that could be better? That could provide better quality care. That could OPENLY support the LGBTQIA+ population and fight health disparities. That could only hire on providers who give a fuck. That could put access to care before money. She registered for an LLC, designed her own website and started the practice that very weekend. Since then, we've just been growing. anti-fascist & secular since 2020. we were born in resistance to the current healthcare system prioritizing capitalism. every single person on our team votes for your right to choose, love, exist and be included in our society. we remain opposed to the current administration. we stand against nazis like elon musk who threaten the livelihood of LGBTQIA+ folx, the jewish community and POC. we stand against the system that erases the existence of trans folx. we stand against RFK for villainizing vaccines and life saving medications. we stand against trump for dismantling the system that offers fair education and rights to special needs children, and the ability to advance ourselves for those of us who can't afford higher education. we stand against the system that favors billionaires, leaving the rest of us without adequate resources or healthcare. we will continue to stand in solidarity with you. we have made some support guides for navigating your safety in the administration here.

Harm Reduction Education Knowledge is the first layer of safety. Clients receive evidence-based information on safer practices related to cannabis, psychedelics, ketamine, and microdosing. Topics include managing risks, understanding interactions, preparing for challenging experiences, and creating safe environments (set and setting). Emergency preparedness strategies are also discussed when appropriate. Substance Use Wellness Planning Conscious use, aligned with your values. We support individuals who want to explore mindful and intentional relationships with substances like cannabis or explore microdosing. This may include evaluating use patterns, setting wellness-based goals (such as improving sleep, creativity, or emotional regulation), and applying mindfulness-based harm reduction frameworks to support clarity and self-awareness.
