Karla Lamley

Karla Lamley

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


Working with Karla is a deeply collaborative and compassionate experience. Karla brings over 35years of integrative clinical expertise in both internal medicine and psychiatry, paired with a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth and cultural reverence. Clients often describe her presence as grounding, intuitive, and nonjudgmental.

Karla takes a whole-person approach—honoring your body, mind, heart, and spirit. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, spiritual crisis, or transformation, she will meet you exactly where you are with insight, warmth, and clarity. Sessions may weave together evidence-based psychiatric care, somatic and mindfulness practices, nutritional support, and, when appropriate, psychedelic-assisted therapies.

As a certified provider in psychedelic medicine and a graduate of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute’s fellowship, Karla is trained to work at the leading edge of healing—while staying deeply rooted in respect for ancient indigenous traditions. She creates safe, sacred containers where clients can reconnect with their innate wisdom, move through trauma, and reclaim their sense of wholeness.

Most importantly, Karla sees you not as a diagnosis—but as a divine being having a human experience. If you are ready to step into deeper healing and self-remembering, she is here to walk with you.

Joanne Hird

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


If you're a physician, nurse, EMT, firefighter, police officer, or other medical professional or first responder feeling overwhelmed by chronic stress, burnout, or anxiety, know that you're not alone—and these struggles do not mean you're failing. The demands of your work are extraordinary, and it's common to carry the weight of long shifts, high-stakes decisions, and emotional exhaustion long after you clock out.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in supporting healthcare workers and first responders just like you. Having worked in a hospital setting throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I deeply understand the unique pressures you face—the relentless pace, moral distress, compassion fatigue, and the challenge of switching off hypervigilance when you finally get home.

Find the right therapist 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 Goodyear, AZ

Searching for therapists in Goodyear starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A bio can show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Goodyear has local therapy options, but availability can vary across a smaller market. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Arizona while still letting you work with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, background, and approach to care.

Therapy in Goodyear can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
