Hi, I’m Allison Scott, a psychiatric nurse practitioner trained at the University of Arizona. I help people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns with a warm, down-to-earth approach. My care is holistic and integrative—this means I look at the full picture: your mind, body, and story. I also support alternative methods such as ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Together, we’ll find what truly supports your well-being and lasting change.

Welcome to my practice! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in diagnosing and treating a range of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, dementia, substance abuse disorders, and more. With a holistic approach, I aim to blend psychiatric and primary care to enhance your physical and mental well-being. My primary goal is to empower you to manage your chronic conditions effectively.
Congratulations for taking this step toward improving your health! I've worked with Native Americans, Veterans, seniors, new moms, elderly folks, teens and adults. I work with creative people because I understand and respect your uniqueness. I have been a PMHNP for 15 years, and an RN for many more. I earned a BA from CUNY, a BS from NYU, and an MS in Nursing specializing in psychiatry, from SLU. I am a safe and experienced prescriber of medication, and will find the right fit for you.
I have been a double board-certified nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I'm passionate about using my nearly 20 years of nursing experience to empower individuals struggling with mental health. Beyond my dedication to my family (married to a wonderful man and blessed with 4 lovely children), I find joy in exploring the world, having visited 5 continents! When I'm not caring for patients or navigating family life, I'm dreaming of adventures in the remaining two!

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tempe
Finding the right psychiatrist in Tempe starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe. Both provider types are available through Headway. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist or PMHNP may be the right fit.
With Tempe's proximity to Arizona State University and the broader Phoenix metro area, there are many providers practicing in and around the city. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, someone who offers virtual appointments, or a provider located near Downtown Tempe, South Tempe, or a neighboring city like Mesa or Chandler. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you commit.
Psychiatry sessions in the Tempe area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
