Dr. Dwight Faught

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


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.

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.
