Family1st Integrated Therapy & Wellness is licensed to serve patients throughout Arizona via telehealth — bringing board-certified PMHNP psychiatric care directly to you in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, and everywhere in between. No commute. No waiting rooms. Just exceptional care that meets you where you are.
Arizona's rapid growth, particularly in the Phoenix metro area, has outpaced mental health infrastructure. High rates of substance use, depression, and anxiety — combined with the state's heat-related stress — drive strong demand for integrated psychiatric care.
Insurance accepted: Medicare · Medicaid · BCBS · Aetna · UHC · Cigna · Tricare · Self-Pay
Arizona consistently ranks in the bottom 10 states for mental health care access. Our telehealth model eliminates barriers — no waiting lists for in-person slots, no hour-long drives for a 20-minute appointment.
All psychiatric services — medication management, therapy, Spravato evaluation, GLP-1 prescribing, HRT, and addiction treatment — are available via secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth. You must be physically located in Arizona at the time of your appointment.
We serve adults of all ages and adolescents ages 13–17 (with parental consent) in Arizona. Teens struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, or trauma deserve expert psychiatric care — and we're here for them too.
As a PMHNP-BC with full practice authority, Kristin McKnight can independently evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe in Arizona — including psychiatric medications, GLP-1 weight loss agents, hormone therapy, and buprenorphine/Suboxone for MAT.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Tricare for eligible services in Arizona. Self-pay pricing is available. We verify your benefits before your first appointment — no surprises.
