Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Surprise, AZ

Hi there-may name is Fiona Standen and I am a psychotherapist, practicing since 2001 and specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.

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.

Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’ve been working in the helping professions since 1999. I have a deep calling for holding a guiding light during your dark times. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am a licensed therapist in Arizona, using evidence based talk therapy and trauma processing modalities. Throughout my career, I’ve found that a calm presence can make all the difference, and that’s what I always intend to bring to my work. I’ve also had the honor of being a yoga teacher with a background in holistic living, and understand the mind-body connection. Mindfulness meditation is a part of my own personal practice, and I may incorporate this into my therapy work to help you cultivate peace and clarity.

On a personal note, as an adolescent I exited the conservative, tight-knit religion I was raised in and never looked back. I respect the bravery and courage it takes to be true to yourself. I identify as a multicultural female, who is spiritual not religious. Immersing myself in art, nature and the vast mystery of it all is grounding for me. I have an appreciation for the intersecting philosophies of the world’s wisdom traditions.
