Carly Reina

Carly Reina

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Phoenix, AZ


My name is Carly Reina, and I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I provide mental health care across the full lifespan — from children, adolescents, adults, and seniors — and I take pride in the breadth and depth of experience that allows me to serve individuals and families at every stage of life.

My primary clinical focus areas include relationships, sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I also work with clients navigating bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, panic disorders, chronic conditions, OCD, stress, and family concerns.

My work with children, adolescents, and young adults is particularly meaningful to me. Early childhood is one of the most critical and often underserved periods for mental health — and having a provider who understands the unique developmental, relational, and behavioral landscape of these early years can make a profound difference for both children and their families.

Whatever stage of life you or your loved one is in, I am here to provide thoughtful, individualized care.
