Hi, I’m Kathryn, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner providing virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management across Arizona for adolescents ages 13–17, adults, and older adults. I work particularly with ADHD, anxiety, depression, medication concerns, and diagnostic clarification, along with OCD, sleep concerns, trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, panic symptoms, and mood disorders. Yarrow Behavioral Health is a solo practice, so you’ll work directly with me at every visit. I became a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner in 2026, following more than 14 years as a registered nurse. My experience includes inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric crisis care, medical-surgical nursing, and neurology. I offer telehealth appointments throughout Arizona on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM Arizona time, with early-morning, evening, and weekend availability.

I am a master’s-level licensed psychotherapist providing therapy for adults ages 20 to 93 for more than 20 years. I help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical tools for change. I specialize in trauma, substance use, and relationship dynamics, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe healing begins with honest, conscious communication—starting within and extending to others—and my focus is helping you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

I recognize how hard change is and you deserve to thrive. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing independently since 2014 and have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of who you are becoming, therapy can give a supportive place to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward more confidently. I work with adults navigating life transitions in education, career, relationships, family, health and environment, and identity exploration and reinvention and all that comes with learning to adapt. In our work together, you’ll be met warmly through curiosity and acceptance. I’ll help you identify and rewrite self-limiting patterns, build practical self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways to adapt to change, so you can feel more grounded and empowered.

Hi, I'm Kelly! Thanks for considering working with me. I specialize in trauma resolution and getting folks out of fight, flight, or freeze.

Hi here, it's nice to meet you! I'm Dr. Faught, a Doctor of Nursing Practice with over 50 years of healthcare experience. From an early age, I carried the rare gift of deep empathy and feeling the emotions of others. Strangers would approach me, compelled to share their story and their pain, trusting they would be heard without judgment. My travels across cultures sharpened this gift. I witnessed injustice and inequity impacting many lives thus strengthening my resolve to create meaningful change. I bring both skill and heart to every conversation and person.

Now accepting new patients with flexible scheduling and quick appointments.

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.
