About
Trusted Provider
When selecting a mental health provider, it’s crucial to consider whether you can establish a trusting and safe relationship with them. Look for empathy, care, active listening, diligence, resilience, and open-mindedness. Our two providers, Stacy and Desanne, embody these qualities, providing comfort and support to patients as they work towards their mental health goals.
Best in Patient Satisfaction
We understand that mental health care requires a personalized approach. We have been awarded Most Loyal Patients from ZOCDOC, Vitals, Healthgrades, and WebMD. Our providers are exceptional in their field, with years of experience in psychiatric medication and therapy. More importantly, they possess these essential qualities that set them apart from other mental health providers.
Decades of Experience
Both providers are highly sought after for their psychiatry, medication management, and therapy expertise. With over two decades of experience in mental health psychiatric medication, they have the expertise necessary to make accurate diagnoses, develop effective treatment plans, and provide detailed explanations of the pros and cons of each medication, including potential side effects such as weight gain, allergies, and medication interactions.

Stacy Lyons
PMHNP LPC Arizona and California
I am dual-certified and licensed as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP and LPC, meaning I can treat patients for medication management and therapy. When I was young, I was involved in a house fire that left me with severe burns. During my recovery, I spent much time in the hospital, witnessing firsthand the incredible care and empathy the nurses showed me. It was then that I realized my calling in life was to take care of people and provide them with a path to better overall well-being.
The trauma I experienced has allowed me to build stronger, more trusting relationships with my patients. I strive to exhibit empathy, care, active listening, and open-mindedness in patient interactions, which are essential in fostering a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship.
