Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Mesa, AZ

Hello! I'm Amanda Long, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to serving families through compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been practicing as a PMHNP since 2019, with over a decade of nursing experience beginning in 2011. My educational foundation also includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in Springfield, which broadened my understanding of human behavior and community dynamics. My journey in mental health has taken me through diverse settings that have shaped my comprehensive approach to care. I've worked in psychiatric emergency services at a major hospital, 23-hour crisis stabilization units, outpatient clinics, correctional facilities, and forensic mental health centers, including fitness-to-stand-trial evaluations. This varied experience has equipped me to understand mental health from multiple perspectives and meet people wherever they are in their journey, whether they're facing an acute crisis or seeking ongoing support. I specialize in medication management for individuals across the lifespan—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults. My treatment areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. I'm experienced in both telehealth and in-person care, making quality psychiatric services accessible and convenient for your lifestyle. What drives me is the belief that everyone deserves competent, caring mental health support that honors their unique background and circumstances. I'm committed to improving the communities I serve, one individual and family at a time, through evidence-based practice combined with genuine human connection. My approach centers on partnership and creating a safe environment for healing. I look forward to supporting you and your family's wellness journey.

I have had a successful psychotherapy practice since 2018 in Glendale Arizona. My practice focus is centered on clients with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders and OCD. I work with a non-profit agency that provides first responders with mental health care. I was educated at Arizona State University and Ottawa University.

I have worked in the Psychiatric Mental Health field for 23 years. I have a Master’s degree from the University of Florida and am a licensed Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner. I provide Psychiatric evaluation, treatment planning, supportive psychotherapy and prescribe Psychiatric medication.

One of the most important aspects of successful treatment is the relationship you create with your therapist. I offer a unique blend of compassion, humor, and sound clinical judgment to foster genuine connections with my patients.

I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Heartland Mental Health Services, holding a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University (2024). With over 15 years of registered nursing experience in Arizona — spanning inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, community mental health, crisis stabilization, substance-use treatment, and long-term care — I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to every encounter. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, and chronic mental illness, providing comprehensive psychiatric assessments and medication management grounded in individualized, evidence-based, collaborative care. I am committed to fostering a supportive, stigma-free environment that empowers clients to take an active role in their healing and long-term wellness.
