Hello. My name is Mary ‘Sarah’ Houston. I have been a Mental Health nurse for 20 years. I have been a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) since November, 2016. As a PMHNP, I have worked inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, along with working at a crisis stabilization unit for mental health crises. As well, I have training in mental health Telehealth. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, insomnia, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, substance use disorder, and PTSD.
I have a passion to help those with emotional and mental health needs.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings across Arizona. I’ve worked closely with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and more complex mental health challenges. My background includes crisis work, outpatient care, and medication management, allowing me to meet you in both difficult seasons and times of growth. I’m passionate about providing supportive, evidence-based care that meets you where you are.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked in both inpatient hospital and outpatient settings, caring for individuals with a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan.
My passion is women's mental health. I specialize in supporting women through the unique emotional and psychological challenges that can occur during different stages of life, including postpartum, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), infertility, menopause, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to help close the gap in women's mental health care by providing compassionate, evidence-based treatment that empowers women to better understand their mental health and take an active role in their well-being.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience across inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, substance use treatment, residential care, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient medication management. My background has given me the opportunity to work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, substance use concerns, mood instability, sleep problems, and life transitions.
Clients often describe my style as calm, direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, respectful, and practical. My goal is to help clients better understand what they are experiencing, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports real improvement in daily life.
I have a strong interest in treatment-resistant depression, interventional psychiatry, and evidence-based medication management, while also recognizing that each person’s story, goals, and values matter just as much as symptoms or diagnoses.
My name is Jessica Harrison. I am a doctoral prepared, dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I have an extensive medical background that includes primary care, urgent care, internal medicine and hospital medicine. My psychiatric experience includes substance abuse, eating disorders, crisis stabilization, and outpatient services caring for individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, women's mental health, and bipolar disorder II.
Right now, I spend my days as a psychiatric nurse practitioner helping adults who live with chronic pain and the anxiety, low mood, PTSD, and sleepless nights that so often come with it. Before I became a nurse practitioner, I spent more than 13 years in nursing: in inpatient psychiatry, in psychiatric crisis care, and in medical and neurology units at Mayo Clinic and Barrow Neurological Institute. Today I see adults 18 and older across Arizona by video, including the hard-to-reach corners of the state, on Saturdays and Sundays from 5 AM to 7 PM. I focus on anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and insomnia, and I prescribe non-controlled medications only.
My name is Dianne Fontaine, MSN, APRN, and I'm a Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified (PMHNP-BC) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Flagstaff, AZ
Finding psychiatrists in Flagstaff starts with knowing which kind of mental health care fits what you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Flagstaff, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand the number of psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners available to you. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus areas, communication style, and approach to care before you book.
Psychiatric care in Flagstaff can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your needs, accept your plan, and are ready to take new patients, so you can review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
