ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Tempe, AZ

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.

I have over 36 years of clinical experience working with a wide variety of clinical disorders. I offer services to a multitude of client populations. I also conduct individual, couples and family therapy sessions.

Hi, I’m Cliff, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized, evidence-based care for adults and young adults across Arizona.

I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My approach is collaborative and practical—I focus on helping you feel better in your day-to-day life, not just on paper.

With experience in crisis, inpatient, and outpatient settings, I’m comfortable managing both straightforward and complex cases. I take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and work with you to find a plan that actually works.

Appointments are offered via secure telehealth, making it easy to access care from the comfort of your home.

Welcome to my practice! I'm a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in diagnosing and treating a range of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, dementia, substance abuse disorders, and more. With a holistic approach, I aim to blend psychiatric and primary care to enhance your physical and mental well-being. My primary goal is to empower you to manage your chronic conditions effectively.

Hello All!

As a LSCSW I have experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in correctional, school, and psychiatric settings; while providing mental health services tailored for each individual. I help identify and navigate all of life's endless transitions and challenges. My style is warm, honest, culturally responsive, and judgment-free. Together, we will build self-love, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, recognize behaviors that may be holding you back, and explore healthier perspectives that support meaningful change.

I have been a double board-certified nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I'm passionate about using my nearly 20 years of nursing experience to empower individuals struggling with mental health. Beyond my dedication to my family (married to a wonderful man and blessed with 4 lovely children), I find joy in exploring the world, having visited 5 continents! When I'm not caring for patients or navigating family life, I'm dreaming of adventures in the remaining two!

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Binge Eating Disorder & emotional eating is a cause close to my heart both professionally and personally. The adults I work with are cycle breakers but their relationship with food keeps them feeling burnt out when they want to feel self acceptance and open to new experiences.
