I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, stress management, and developing effective coping skills. My work is with adolescents and adults that feel overwhelmed, are stuck in cycles of big emotions, experience racing thoughts, or impulsive reactions that interfere with daily life, relationships, and self-confidence. My focus is on helping clients better understand how their brain and emotions work, while building practical, realistic strategies they can use both in and out of session. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and skills-based.

Shara Ally

Shara Ally

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Flagstaff, AZ


Shara Ally, DNP, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based medication management for adults (18+) via telehealth. As an author and TEDx speaker, she translates complex research into clear, practical care plans that help patients feel informed and supported.

Shara specializes in mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions (PTSD), adult ADHD, OCD, bipolar spectrum disorders, and women's mental health across the reproductive lifespan—including perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, PMDD, and menopausal transitions. Her practice is medication-focused and highly collaborative, with education, skills coaching, and supportive check-ins integrated into visits. She coordinates closely with therapists, primary care providers, OB-GYNs, and other clinicians to ensure cohesive treatment.

Patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation reviewing history, symptoms, prior treatments, and goals. Shara practices thoughtful prescribing with transparent discussion of options, benefits, and side effects so decisions are truly shared. She uses measurement-based care—structured symptom tracking—to guide adjustments and reduce trial-and-error. Her whole-person approach integrates sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management when relevant, with streamlined access through secure telehealth and clear after-visit summaries.

Shara's style is warm, direct, and person-centered, grounded in shared decision-making. Her care is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in current clinical evidence. Beyond clinical practice, she serves as a nurse educator and academic mentor, shaping future psychiatric clinicians through evidence-based teaching. An international fellowship in India enriched her global perspective through research and teaching in hospital and university settings.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Phoenix. I

work with children, adolescents, and adults in

English or in Spanish.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a

partnership — we'll work together to understand

what's going on, identify what's getting in the way,

and find practical tools that help you move

forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety,

depression, stress, life changes, or the effects of

past experiences, my goal is to help you build

confidence and strengthen coping skills.

I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, and nonprofit

settings, and I especially enjoy working with

children and adolescents. My hope is that therapy

feels like a place where you can show up as you

are and leave each session with something

meaningful to take with you.

I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. My undergraduate B.A and graduate M.A. training took place at Wheaton College. Following graduate school in the midwest, I moved to the west coast, where I attended the California School of Professional Psychology. Here, I earned a M.A in applied psychology and Psy. D. in clinical psychology with a dual emphasis in forensics and family therapy. My research consisted of working with high risk sexual offenders. Following my time on the west coast, I worked as a Staff Psychologist and Assistant Professor at a local university. In my free time, I train in combat arts and play guitar (try at least ;-).
