Who you will see, and what they are licensed to do
A psychiatrist is a physician (MD or DO) who completed a residency in psychiatry. A psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse with graduate training and national board certification in psychiatric care.
Arizona grants nurse practitioners full practice authority. Under A.R.S. 32-1601, an Arizona-licensed PMHNP evaluates, diagnoses, orders tests and prescribes medication without physician supervision.
Your appointments at Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness are with a PMHNP. Dr. Michael Vines, MD, a psychiatrist who has practiced in Arizona for more than 25 years, serves as Medical Director and oversees clinical standards. Dr. Robbie Westerman, DNP, PMHNP, co-founded the clinic in 2022 and serves as Chief Medical Officer.
Every license is public. Confirm any provider through the Arizona State Board of Nursing license lookup.
Access to psychiatric care in Arizona
Arizona ranks 47th of 51 for mental health workforce, and most practices do not pick up the phone
Three independent data sets explain why finding a psychiatric provider in Phoenix takes longer than it should. The numbers also explain how we built our intake process.
How we respond to those numbers
Sources: Mental Health America, The State of Mental Health in America 2025, access to care rankings. KFF, Mental Health Care Health Professional Shortage Areas, Arizona. Brahmbhatt D, Schpero WL. Access to Psychiatric Appointments for Medicaid Enrollees in 4 Large US Cities. JAMA. 2024;332(8):668-669. The JAMA audit called clinicians listed in Medicaid directories in Phoenix, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. America's Health Rankings counts 218 mental health providers per 100,000 Arizonans against 363 nationally.
Conditions we evaluate and treat
A psychiatric evaluation starts with your symptoms and history, not a label. These are the conditions our providers diagnose and manage most, in children from age 6, adolescents and adults.
Depression, anxiety and ADHD account for most first visits. Several of our providers also carry deep experience with complex and co-occurring conditions.
What happens from your first call to your first prescription
Four steps, and the first two happen on the same phone call.
Medication is one option, never the default
Some evaluations end with a prescription. Others end with a referral for therapy, GeneSight testing to guide a next medication, or Deep TMS for depression that has not responded to two or more medications.
When a prescription is the right step, your provider explains the expected timeline, the side effects to watch for and when you will be seen again.
Your psychiatric providers in Phoenix
Each provider below is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed by the Arizona State Board of Nursing. Every one of them sees patients in person at our Phoenix clinic and by video across Arizona.
Dr. Michael Vines, MD, a psychiatrist with more than 25 years of Arizona practice spanning children, adults, geriatrics and serious mental illness, serves as Medical Director.
When a prescription alone is not enough
Psychiatry, Deep TMS, pharmacogenomic testing and structured outpatient care share one clinic and one chart. Your provider refers you without sending you to a new practice.
