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.

Meet Dana Brewer, CNM, PMHNP-BC, DNP, a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner offering telehealth expert care and psychiatric medications. Dana Brewer, MSN, CNM, PMHNP-BC Dana is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who comes to psychiatry after sixteen years as a nurse midwife. For her, the two disciplines share a common heart: holding space for people during the most tender, transformative, and challenging moments of their lives. Where midwifery walked alongside women and families through the threshold of birth, psychiatric care allows Dana to accompany patients through the many other thresholds we cross in a lifetime. Dana is especially interested in life transitions of all kinds and brings an integrative perspective to mental health care. She believes that healing happens in relationship and that good care meets people where they are, honoring the whole person rather than a list of symptoms. Outside of work, Dana maintains a daily meditation practice, dances zydeco, and travels whenever possible. She is happiest spending time with family and friends, cooking, and dancing in the kitchen with the people she loves. And yes, she absolutely wants to meet your dogs. Perinatal Care Dana has spent the last chapter of her career on as a midwife. As a certified nurse midwife, she has a strong understanding of the intersection of complex pregnancies and mental health. Hormones Dana is passionate about understanding the role of hormones in mental health treatment. After all, everything intersects. Life transitions Moving to college? Starting a new career? Menopause? Divorce? Dana is all about supporting you through transitions. Q&A What is your favorite music? Music has always been an important part of my life. I grew up in South Louisiana, where music and dancing are just as important as food. I particularly love Zydeco music. Where I am from, Saturday mornings are for Zydeco brunches with friends and family. Favorite superhero? My favorite superheroes tend to be real people I know: people juggling parenthood, jobs, family, and busy lives. This is heroic. If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? I’d really like to fly! Tell me about your pets. Right now, I don’t have any pets. My last pet was a Shih Tzu rescue named Fancy. Fun fact about you: My grandfather is in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. He and his brother were record producers in the 1950s and 1960s and had number-one albums. What are some experiences that make you unique? I have a little bit of a gypsy spirit. I love to travel and meet new people. I have been a midwife for 16 years, and that calling has led me to catch babies in the Philippines, India and with Yupik with Navajo people. I currently am obsessed with perimenopause and all the changes (chaos) that it brings into our lives. I am spiritually inclined and keep a regular yoga and meditation practice. What are ways beyond medication that can improve your mental health? I believe medication plays a huge role for many people in mental health. From my perspective well being is multi-faceted. Addressing these varying aspects of a person provides and opportunity for healing. Therapy, nutrition, sleep, exercise and addressing stressors are all important aspects of improving mental health. Are medications lifelong? Does a patient who sees you HAVE to be on medication? I think each person is different depending on their diagnosis, personal preferences, and goals. 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? The first thing I would say is congratulations on making the first appointment. It takes a lot to initiate this process. I hope to make the evaluation as seamless and effective as possible. Secondly, let's take the evaluation at your own pace. There will never be any pressure to talk about things that you are not ready to discuss. My job is to respect you and help you find a path forward on your healing journey. Do you have any personal mental health experiences you can share with us? I have an uncle with schizophrenia. I witnessed the barriers he faced in terms of diagnosis and treatment over the years. For this reason, I am sensitive to the impact mental health has on families and also work to ensure that I continue to maintain good mental health myself.

Jonathan Frank, PMHNP-BC, provides compassionate psychiatric care specializing in adult ADHD, mood disorders, and LGBTQ+ mental health. Offering patient-centered therapy and medication management for adults in Phoenix, AZ. Now accepting new patients. Jonathan Frank, MSN PMHNP-BC Gay, chill (on the outside), and running on a delicate cocktail of anxiety and ADHD—so yes, I will forget what I was saying mid-sentence, but I’ll remember a random fact about peppers forever. Drummer by trade and/or compulsion, because hitting things rhythmically is cheaper than therapy (except I also believe in therapy… thanks to my dogs). I play in a metal band called Hill Giant Witch. Speaking of dogs: proud servant to two huskies who are therapy dogs, which means they calm other people while screaming at ghosts and sirens at home. I grow hot peppers—lots of them—because I enjoy pain, flavor, and confusing my digestive system. Atheist, but spiritually connected to good music (emo and metal), spicy food, and naps. Generally easygoing, occasionally overwhelmed, always trying my best. If I’m not drumming, farming peppers, or being pulled down the street by huskies, I’m probably overthinking something that absolutely does not matter. Chill vibes, loud drums, spicy peppers, anxious energy, zero gods.. welcome to the brand. Note from Maria/the owner: in case you're wondering what kind of provider jon is.. jon once was so angry at a pharmacist for not filling a prescription for a patient that he drove to the pharmacy himself to yell at the pharmacy and sit there until the prescription was filled. he's truly an advocate who cares. Forensic Psychiatry Jon can also be found working at the Arizona State Hospital. Although he's specialized in the forensic population there, he's also just a giant teddy bear who low key prefers working with some anxiety + depression <3 Bipolar & ADHD Jon has spent a large part of his career working to understand and treat bipolar disorder, ADHD, and to truly understand the intersection when both of these exist. Trauma Jon is a soul that you can spend time with and think "okay, I think it's time I finally open up about this," and feel totally validated about it. Q&A What is your favorite movie? That is a difficult one as I have quite a few. The Crow, SLC Punk, Inception, and The Burbs Favorite superhero? Wolverine. If you could have a superpower, what superpower would you pick? Teleportation. With this power, I would never work again. Favorite bands/singer? Deftones, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, The Used, Blink-182, AFI, The Ataris, Bring Me the Horizon. If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for? 1. I’d wish all wishes I thought of would want to come true. 2. To understand animals. 3. To have superpowers Fun fact about you: I have more aluminum in my body than most people do. I am injury prone. I find comedy in everything…trauma history. Tell me about your pets Jedda and Koda are my babies. They are such calm, sweet, and loving girls. They are trained therapy dogs and love meeting new people. They absolutely hate sirens and make sure everyone knows when they hear one. Both the girls are very bonded, which means they are always in eye-sight of one another. They are so nice to each other, one can take a treat right out of the others mouth and no fighting or growling occurs. I’m not kidding. They are my life savers and I am forever grateful for their love and companionship. What are ways beyond medication that can improve your mental health? Music. Music is in every aspect of my life. Ask my husband and he will tell you I sing a song about EVERYTHING. A commercial comes on, I take a sentence and sing it. I’ve played several instruments in my life, however, drums are my favorite. When I was 17 years old, my friend and I were offered an indie label contract for our punk rock band, Stag. We turned it down to go to college. I can only wonder what would have happened had we taken it. Music gives me peace and helps me focus What are your thoughts on adult ADHD? I was not diagnosed with ADHD until I was 26 years old, while in nursing school. Being treated for it was life changing. Had I been treated as a kid, I would not be here, I’d be terraforming Mars. Treating adults with ADHD is something I am passionate about. The hard part with adults is differentiating ADHD with other mental health disorders that share commonalities…this is where I come in 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? I am just as nervous as you are. Does not matter if it is the 1 millionth evaluation, I am still nervous. We will make it through this together. Hahahaha (nervous laugh). On a serious note, these are nerve racking because you are answering questions you may have not been asked before. It takes a lot of trust to be able to feel comfortable. That trust doesn’t happen immediately, but grows over time. Traumatic events affect everyone differently, but they DO affect everyone. I am an ear to listen to what you want to talk about. I never push, but leave the “door open” for you. What are some other things you feel could be beneficial to improve mental health other than medications? Therapy is a huge component of healing and gaining control of your mental health. Therapy, I believe, is 50% of the treatment. When medication is warranted, in combination with therapy, the result is amazing. Medications can alleviate quickly, but they can be a bandaid, therapy is where the healing occurs. What is your philosophy on using medication to treat mental health? Are medications lifelong? Does a patient who sees you HAVE to be on medications? That comes down to the mental health disorder. I have to be on medications fo lyfe. That can be hard to stomach for some people, but I believe that comes from the negative stigma with medication and psychiatry. I look at medications as a tool is your mental health tool box, along side therapy. In some mental health disorders, medication may not be for life. That is something we would talk about and work through. Do you have any personal experiences regarding mental health you are open to sharing? I have mental health disorders. I used to say “suffer from”, but I feel that mindset lends to the negative view of mental health. I embrace it and own it. Ask me about it. Sometimes when you know other people think and feel the similar to you, you feel the world is not as small as it was before. You’re not alone. What are some experiences you have had that make you unique? When working in the ED (Emergency Department), I saw how people with a mental health disorder were treated and I felt that I wanted to make a difference. I felt the dignity and respect were absent in the ED and I wanted to make sure I restored that for everyone who struggles at times. We all have dark moments, but we should never be made to feel bad or guilty for them. Always reach out…ask Delfina, she has had to listen to me sob on the phone because I was so sad. But she walked me through it, then Maria called and told me to suck it up. Lol.

Meet Dana Brewer, CNM, PMHNP-BC, DNP, a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner offering telehealth expert care and psychiatric medications. Danielle Remitio, MSN, PMHNP-BC Danielle is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with years of nursing experience spanning neurology, acute care, crisis stabilization, and behavioral health. She works with teens and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and the major life transitions that tend to shake everything loose. Her clinical interests include women's mental health, cultural trauma, and helping people better understand their brains with compassion rather than judgment. A first-generation Filipina, Danielle brings a global perspective to her practice, shaped in part by her bachelor's degree in Global Health from ASU and her ongoing volunteer work with medical outreach programs in the Philippines. She believes mental health belongs at the front of the healthcare conversation, not the back burner, and she's especially passionate about how culture, identity, and lived experience shape the way people show up to care. Her approach is collaborative, honest, and refreshingly down-to-earth. Danielle blends evidence-based care with real conversation, meeting people where they are instead of where a textbook says they should be. Her patients can expect a provider who actually listens, asks the follow-up question, and creates space for them to show up as their full selves, quirks and all. For the curious: proud Ravenclaw, Virgo sun, Taurus moon, Scorpio rising. She thinks understanding your brain should feel less like getting a diagnosis and more like finally getting the character sheet that explains how you've been playing all along. Neurodivergence Danielle has a special interest in supporting neurodivergent teens and adults, including those with ADHD, autism, and late-in-life discoveries about how their brains actually work. Her approach centers self-understanding over self-criticism, helping patients ditch the shame and finally get the character sheet that explains how they've been playing all along. Weight Stigma Danielle practices from a weight-inclusive lens, understanding how diet culture and medical bias can fuel anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and a lifetime of complicated feelings about food and body. She is committed to care that treats the whole person, not the number on the scale. Cultural/Religious Trauma As a first-generation Filipina, Danielle understands firsthand how cultural expectations, religion, generational patterns, and the weight of "what will people say" can shape mental health. She offers a nonjudgmental space for patients unpacking purity culture, religious guilt, high-control environments, or the complicated process of redefining their relationship with belief.

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.

Telehealth + offices in Tempe, North PHX + Flagstaff. Self booking is available online. The Neurodivergence Evaluations We offer neurodivergence evaluations that assess for ADHD and Autism by expert nurse practitioners. This can be lifechanging and validating for people who've felt broken their entire lives. These are entirely self pay, unfortunately cannot reimbursed via a superbill and do not count as a qualifying diagnosis for DDD benefits (evaluator can be a psychologist or MD only). These evaluations can be booked by emailing support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com About & Pricing Paperwork FAQs Resources & Education About the Neurodivergence Evaluation These evaluations are performed by nurse practitioners who utilize evidence-based scales, a clinical interview and either one of both of the following: ADOS2 & MIFGAS-2. For those having the full evaluation, we also offer a TOVA or QBtest for ADHD. Current patients may have 1-2 appointments, depending on the complexity and their needs. Both receive a full report at the end of the evaluation process, which should help give you some insight into how to move forward in navigating the rest of your life. We offer these for ages 6 into adulthood. The Price These are SELF-PAY ONLY!! THESE ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE AND CAN NOT BE REIMBURSED VIA SUPERBILL (because insurance companies suck, basically). Current patients: $600 (express testing) Not existing patients: $800 (autism testing) Not existing patients: $1000 (autism & ADHD evaluation) email support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com to book The Benefits The biggest benefit here is giving yourself an answer. We validate self-diagnosis and are certainly not here to gatekeep. But we can take the time to explore your life, your struggles, your history and your current space to give you a definite clinical answer. If you believe you are autistic and just need someone to validate you and have the proof for yourself, this could be it for you. If you are a parent of a child, perhaps this could help open doors to start OT, PT, Speech, get them supports in school, move them into another school.. and just change your parenting techniques. As the owner of the practice, I am a late-diagnosed autistic woman and I have autistic children. Understanding myself better and understanding them has changed everything for me.

Realistically, the training materials, the training courses, the overhead of the support staff, the scheduling software, the time to do the appointment, score the scales and write the report is a ton. In order to fairly pay our clinician for their time while still maintaining the overhead.. this is the lowest calculated cost I could do. I hope as we do more, we can ideally lower the price. Why can't they be used for DDD? Because the state of Arizona sucks and doesn't recognize nurse practitioners as competent to evaluate, tbh. We only allow our most highly trained and expert NPs to do these evaluations. But ya know, the state is stupid. Can you do this for me if I live in another state? No, we aren't licensed to evaluate anyone outside of Arizona at this time :( Are there discounts if we pay up front or sliding scale options? This is something you can discuss by emailing support@paperflowerpsychiatry.com What if I don't want my diagnosis on my chart? That's okay! If I want to become a patient at Paperflower after my ASD eval, do I need to do another medication evaluation? Unfortunately, yes. But if you have insurance, we take insurance for all med appointments.
