Vanessa Moe, DNP-PMHNP-BC | Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Arizona

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Online Psychiatry in Arizona

With over 20 years of experience in the mental healthcare field, I am a Board-Certified Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping patients across Arizona achieve mental clarity and stability. My clinical journey began with a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of the human mind, leading me to earn my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Arizona State University.

As an experienced nurse practitioner for mood disorders, depression, anxiety and ADHD in Arizona, I have served patients in both high-acuity hospital settings and supportive outpatient clinics. This background allows me to provide a grounded, comprehensive perspective on mental wellness, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of telehealth mental health in AZ.

I provide expert care for children and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges.

• ADHD Care for Children & Adults: I specialize in supporting children with ADHD, as well as working or in-school adults who struggle with focus, executive function, and burnout.
• Mood & Anxiety Disorders: Evidence-based management for depression, generalized anxiety, and complex mood instability.
• Schizophrenia: I am a dedicated schizophrenia treatment specialist, providing consistent, specialized care for those living with thought disorders.
• Medical-Psychiatric Support: I offer a unique sub-specialty in mental health care for cancer patients and those managing the psychological impact of chronic health conditions.

Just a heads up—I’m in the Mountain Time Zone, which runs one hour ahead of Arizona until the fall. For example, if you see a 2:00 time slot available, that would be 1:00 Arizona time.

After battling addiction for 30 years, my own recovery journey inspired me to become a therapist. With 14 1/2 years of sobriety, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to the work I do. While my initial focus was supporting individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders, my practice has since expanded to include helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, relationship challenges, codependency, and more.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside others on their path to healing, believing that with determination and the right support, meaningful change is always possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and ongoing growth—I continuously pursue education and training to stay current with the most effective practices in the field. Outside of my work, I enjoy mindfulness, exercise, spending time outdoors, and staying connected with family and friends. My passion for this work shines through in every client interaction, and I strive to be a source of hope, encouragement, and resilience for those I serve.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in community behavioral health and trauma-informed care, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine empathy into my sessions. I earned my Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and have spent years supporting adults, adolescents, and families through times of transition, recovery, and growth.

My work is deeply shaped by witnessing the resilience of the human spirit—how healing becomes possible when we feel seen, supported, and safe to explore what hurts. I understand that therapy is both a brave and vulnerable step, and my intention is to create a space where you can show up as you are and begin reconnecting with your own strength and direction.

I am an Indigenous, Latina, and Somatic-based therapist from the Sonoran Desert. I am bi-lingual in English and Spanish. Working to remove the barriers that trauma creates is my expertise. I hold my B.F.A in Dance, a Master’s degree in Somatic Psychology/Dance Movement Therapy, and I am EMDR and DARe certified. In my professional career I have worked as an educator and therapist, with over 25 years of experience, serving diverse ethnic and LGBTQ communities. I currently see clients in person in Tucson, Arizona, and I have flexibility in scheduling after the initial consult. I am licensed in Arizona and Colorado. I can see clients via virtual visits in both states.
