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.

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.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Glendale, AZ
Finding psychiatrists in Glendale starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may fit your search. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and bio to see whether their background matches what you want help with.
Glendale offers local options across neighborhoods like Arrowhead, Westgate, and nearby areas of the West Valley, while virtual appointments can add more flexibility if office location or commute time matters. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, appointment format, and availability can make a major difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist profiles for details on communication style, session structure, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Glendale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your insurance plan. You can compare bios, confirm coverage, view estimated costs, 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.
