I'm Rachael Colley, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on psychiatric medication management with a practical, skills-based approach. My path ran through teaching and nursing before prescribing, so explaining things in plain language comes naturally, and I care about what works in your real life, not just what looks good on paper.
Who I work with I see adults, teens, and children, with particular depth in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and binge eating disorder. I provide neurodiversity-affirming care and have a strong interest in supporting people navigating a late diagnosis, both the relief of finally having answers and the practical work of figuring out what comes next.
I offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments across Arizona.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist 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 Tucson
Finding psychiatrists in Tucson starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or psych med management near you, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training fits your needs.
Tucson has a smaller local market than many major cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond offices near the Foothills, the University District, or central Tucson. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes appointment timing, virtual availability, and scheduling flexibility important to compare. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a psychiatrist’s approach, what they specialize in, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Tucson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, browse 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.
