Tanya Schell

If anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, or sleep difficulties are affecting your daily life, I’m here to listen and help you explore treatment options. I’m Tanya Schell, an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Clear Path Mental Wellness. I earned my master’s degree from Walden University and bring more than three years of nurse practitioner experience and eighteen years of nursing experience. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management through telehealth for Arizona patients ages six and older.

My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I take time to understand your symptoms, health history, daily challenges, and goals so we can develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. My primary focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with supportive discussion and practical education during visits. When medication is appropriate, we discuss its potential benefits, risks, and alternatives together. I monitor your response and make adjustments thoughtfully, and I may recommend ongoing therapy with a separate therapist to support your care.

During our first telehealth appointment, we’ll discuss what brought you to care, how your symptoms affect your life, and what you hope to improve. I’ll review your mental and physical health history, current medications, previous treatments, sleep, and safety concerns. You’ll have time to ask questions and share your preferences. Together, we’ll discuss my assessment and next steps, which may include medication, additional evaluation, or referrals. Follow-up visits focus on your progress, medication effectiveness, and side effects. For patients under eighteen, a parent or legal guardian must participate in the intake and consent process.
