Alicia Shields, PMHNP-BC

My approach to psychiatric care is personalized, realistic, and designed to support mental health in the context of real-life demands.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing outpatient psychiatric care to individuals across Arizona through telehealth and in-office appointments. My practice, In Your Corner Behavioral Health and Wellness, is built on the belief that mental health care should be thoughtful, practical, and responsive to the realities of daily life.

I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and emotional burnout, particularly when these challenges interfere with work, relationships, or overall functioning. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, with an emphasis on understanding the full context of each person’s experience rather than focusing solely on symptoms.

Treatment may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and CBT-informed interventions, with care tailored to each patient’s goals, preferences, and needs. I strive to create a space that is respectful, nonjudgmental, and efficient, recognizing that many people seeking care are balancing busy schedules and significant responsibilities. Evening and weekend appointments are available to improve access and continuity of care.

My goal is to help patients achieve greater stability, clarity, and confidence in managing their mental health, so they can function well and feel more like themselves again.
