Rachael Colley

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 1.1 mi away • 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.

Darren Nguyen

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.1 mi away • Tucson, AZ


Hello and welcome! my name is Darren Nguyen (Duy), I'm currently only taking new clients for individual therapy, not couple and family therapy. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Mental Health Counseling from the University of Arizona and have experience working in a community mental health clinic, supporting individuals facing a range of emotional and psychological struggles. Growing up in two different cultures, I understand how cultural influences shape identity, values, and personal experiences, allowing me to provide culturally responsive care that acknowledges the intersection of mental health and cultural background. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder, and attachment-related concerns using a person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach. Integrating evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, DBT, PRT and somatic therapy, I help clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build a life aligned with their values. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, self-doubt, or emotional distress, I am here to provide compassionate guidance and effective therapeutic strategies tailored to your unique journey.
