Rachael Colley

Rachael Colley

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Tucson, AZ


I'm Rachael Colley, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on psychiatric medication management with a practical, skills-based approach. My path ran through teaching and nursing before prescribing, so explaining things in plain language comes naturally, and I care about what works in your real life, not just what looks good on paper.

Who I work with I see adults, teens, and children, with particular depth in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and binge eating disorder. I provide neurodiversity-affirming care and have a strong interest in supporting people navigating a late diagnosis, both the relief of finally having answers and the practical work of figuring out what comes next.

I offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments across Arizona.

Latoya Henry-Morrison

Latoya Henry-Morrison

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Sierra Vista, AZ


I am Latoya Henry-Morrison, a board-certified psychiatric mental health practitioner who is experienced in the management of patients with varying mental and behavioral health needs, from all ages and stages of development, all across the lifespan. My background as a professional registered Nurse has equipped me with the relevant prerequisites of being a nurturer, which I believe is one of the most important attributes that aids patients in achieving their individual health goals sooner. I am a compassionate, caring, and empathetic individual who strives to be a voice for the voiceless and advocate for those who need guidance towards gaining and sustaining optimal baseline health.

I currently have the privilege of working with and caring for patients from both the paediatric and adult population, who present with varying psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, bipolar, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia, to name a few, by utilizing scientifically based practices/ approaches. I wholeheartedly believe that mental health is cohesive with all other aspects of life and thus examines the patient's environmental, social, emotional, and situational health to appropriately guide them in sustaining and obtaining holistic well-being
