Psychiatry (Evaluations & Medication Management

 

We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, with services offered virtually across Arizona and in person in Queen Creek with Ashleigh McDonnell, PMHNP-BC, and in Phoenix with Kwesi Woode, PMHNP-BC. Care is individualized and evidence-based, with an emphasis on thoughtful assessment, conservative treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring.

​

Therapy 

 

In-person therapy for adults is available at our Queen Creek location with Justin Biske, LPC, with virtual therapy options offered when appropriate. Justin specializes in trauma-informed care, supporting individuals through anxiety, trauma, and stress-related concerns. His approach incorporates evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, to help clients process experiences safely and build resilience over time.

​

For clients seeking in-person therapy in Phoenix, we collaborate with Marley Mental Health through our Phoenix location to support access to therapy services. 

​

Psychiatric and therapy services are provided separately and may be coordinated as part of collaborative care when clinically appropriate.

​

Level of Care & Clinical Appropriateness

 

Wild Ember Psychiatry & Therapy provides outpatient mental health care. Certain clinical presentations may require a higher level of care or specialized services beyond what an outpatient setting can provide.

 

Clients presenting with severe eating disorders, violent or unsafe behaviors, active legal involvement, moderate to severe substance use concerns, need for detoxification, benzodiazepine dependence, or certain personality disorder presentations may not be appropriate for this level of care. When indicated, we assist with referrals to programs that specialize in these areas to ensure safety and appropriate support.
