Taking the first step is hard — my job is to make it easier. I provide supportive, personalized medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and more.
Hello! I'm Amanda Long, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to serving families through compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been practicing as a PMHNP since 2019, with over a decade of nursing experience beginning in 2011. My educational foundation also includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in Springfield, which broadened my understanding of human behavior and community dynamics. My journey in mental health has taken me through diverse settings that have shaped my comprehensive approach to care. I've worked in psychiatric emergency services at a major hospital, 23-hour crisis stabilization units, outpatient clinics, correctional facilities, and forensic mental health centers, including fitness-to-stand-trial evaluations. This varied experience has equipped me to understand mental health from multiple perspectives and meet people wherever they are in their journey, whether they're facing an acute crisis or seeking ongoing support. I specialize in medication management for individuals across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. My treatment areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I'm experienced in both telehealth and in-person care, making quality psychiatric services accessible and convenient for your lifestyle. What drives me is the belief that everyone deserves competent, caring mental health support that honors their unique background and circumstances. I'm committed to improving the communities I serve, one individual and family at a time, through evidence-based practice combined with genuine human connection. My approach centers on partnership and creating a safe environment for healing. I look forward to supporting you and your family's wellness journey.
I have worked in the Psychiatric Mental Health field for 23 years. I have a Master’s degree from the University of Florida and am a licensed Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner. I provide Psychiatric evaluation, treatment planning, supportive psychotherapy and prescribe Psychiatric medication.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Prescott
Finding psychiatrists in Prescott starts with understanding the type of care they offer. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists support mental health care through talk therapy and related approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, either psychiatry, therapy, or both may be part of your search. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and care focus to see whether their training matches what you want support with.
Prescott is a smaller market, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Arizona cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists who serve Arizona. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people also work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and any free phone consultation options. Reading bios can help you understand how each psychiatrist structures appointments and communicates about care.
Psychiatric care in Prescott 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 you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and many take insurance, making it easier to review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you are 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.
