What Parents Usually Come In For
ADHD evaluation and treatment. The most common reason a parent books. The evaluation uses a parent interview, age-appropriate standardized rating scales completed by a parent and, when possible, a teacher, and a conversation with the child or teen. It also screens for the things that look like ADHD at school — anxiety, a learning difference, poor sleep, or a hard year at home. When ADHD is diagnosed and medication is appropriate, stimulant and non-stimulant options are discussed with the family and a prescription can go to your pharmacy before the visit ends. The ADHD evaluation page explains the difference between this evaluation and the formal testing some schools require.
Sleep problems alongside ADHD. "My child with ADHD cannot fall asleep" is one of the most common questions in Arizona search results, and it is a real clinical problem rather than a parenting failure. Sleep is reviewed at every ADHD visit: bedtime routine, screens, the timing and type of stimulant, anxiety at night. Changing the dose or timing of an existing medication is often the first adjustment; medication specifically for sleep is considered only after that.
Anxiety. School refusal, stomachaches before school, perfectionism, panic, social anxiety, and worry that does not switch off. The evaluation separates developmentally normal worry from an anxiety disorder, and treatment is coordinated with therapy when a therapist is involved. Anxiety treatment covers the approach.
Depression and mood changes in teens. Irritability, withdrawal, falling grades, sleep and appetite changes, and loss of interest. Teen depression is taken seriously and evaluated carefully, including questions about safety, which are asked directly. Depression treatment describes medication options and follow-up.
Medication management for an existing diagnosis. Families who moved to Arizona, whose pediatrician no longer prescribes psychiatric medication, or whose previous prescriber retired. The first visit reviews the history and current prescription and continues or adjusts it when appropriate; bring the prior prescriber's contact information so records can be requested. Medication management explains follow-up visits.
How a Family Video Visit Works
- A parent or legal guardian books and consents. Patients under 18 cannot book for themselves. Book online through Zocdoc; same-week openings are often available, but availability varies and is not guaranteed.
- Intake forms before the visit. A short history and, for ADHD, age-appropriate rating scales for a parent and a teacher.
- The 45–60 minutes first visit. From home, with the parent and the child together for most of it. Teens usually spend part of the visit talking with Angela privately, and the parent rejoins for the plan. Children do better on video than many parents expect — their own room is less intimidating than a clinic.
- The plan. You leave with the diagnosis, if there is one, explained in plain language to both the parent and the child, and a plan that may include medication, a referral to therapy, school steps, or watchful waiting. An evaluation is never a guarantee of a particular diagnosis or prescription.
- Follow-ups. 20–30 minutes visits, more frequent at the start of a medication and spaced out once things are stable. Growth, sleep, appetite, and mood are tracked for children on stimulants.
What This Practice Does and Does Not Do for Children
Sigmon Psychiatric provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management for children, teens, and adults. It does not provide psychotherapy, formal psychoeducational or neuropsychological testing, autism diagnostic evaluations, or school-based services. Many children do best with a therapist and a prescriber working together, and Angela coordinates with your child's therapist, school counselor, or pediatrician when you ask her to. If therapy, testing, or an in-person specialist would be the better next step for your child, that is what the evaluation will recommend.
Every visit is with Angela Marton, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in Arizona to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently. She is not a physician psychiatrist. Her public record is verifiable: a 5.0 rating across 88 verified Zocdoc reviews.
School Letters and Accommodations
Established patients can request a diagnosis and treatment letter for a school's 504 or IEP process, written when the clinical findings support it. The school decides the accommodation. When a district requires formal psychoeducational testing, that comes from a psychologist or the district, and the evaluation report here supports the referral. Teens heading to college can read the college student page for accommodation letters at ASU, UA, and NAU.
Cost and Insurance for Child and Teen Visits
Self-pay prices are the same as for adults: $179 for the initial evaluation and $129 for follow-ups, with no membership fee. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Some commercial plans may be accepted; coverage and network participation vary by exact plan and are not guaranteed, so call the member services number on the child's insurance card and ask about outpatient mental health and telehealth benefits before the visit. Medicare, Medicaid, and AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) are not accepted; patients with those plans are still welcome to book as self-pay. The insurance and pricing page explains what to ask, and the self-pay page explains paying without insurance.
Child and Teen Psychiatric Care Anywhere in Arizona
Because visits are by video, a family in Sierra Vista, Kingman, Show Low, or Yuma gets the same appointment as a family in Tucson or Phoenix, without the drive.

Frequently asked questions
Do you see children and teens for psychiatric care in Arizona?
Yes. Sigmon Psychiatric accepts children, teens, and adults for psychiatric evaluations and medication management when they are physically located in Arizona during the appointment. Visits are by secure video with Angela Marton, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, and a parent or legal guardian takes part in the first visit. Whether a particular child is a good fit for telehealth care is decided at that first visit.
Can my child get an ADHD evaluation online?
Yes. The evaluation uses a parent interview, age-appropriate standardized rating scales completed by a parent and, when possible, a teacher, and a conversation with the child or teen. School information — a prior school evaluation or teacher feedback — is reviewed when it is available. If the criteria are met, the diagnosis is documented and treatment options are discussed with the family at the same visit.
Can ADHD medication be prescribed for a child by telehealth in Arizona?
Yes, when it is clinically appropriate and a parent or guardian agrees to the plan. Stimulant medications are controlled substances and are prescribed under DEA telemedicine rules with a check of Arizona's prescription-monitoring program; non-stimulant options are also discussed. Growth, sleep, appetite, and mood are monitored at follow-up visits. An evaluation is never a guarantee of a particular diagnosis or prescription.
My child has ADHD and cannot sleep. Can you help with that?
Sleep problems are common with ADHD and with some ADHD medications, and they are part of the evaluation rather than a separate problem. The visit looks at bedtime routine, screen use, the timing and type of any stimulant, anxiety at night, and other causes before any medication for sleep is considered. Adjusting the ADHD medication's dose or timing is often the first change.
Does my teen need a parent present at every visit?
A parent or legal guardian takes part in the first visit and consents to treatment. At follow-ups, teens usually spend part of the visit speaking with Angela privately and a parent joins for the plan, medication changes, and questions; the balance is set with the family. Patients under 18 cannot book or consent on their own.
Do you provide therapy or counseling for children?
No. Sigmon Psychiatric provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management, not psychotherapy. Many children and teens do best with both, and Angela coordinates with your child's therapist, school counselor, or pediatrician when you ask her to. If therapy would be the better first step for your child, she will say so at the evaluation.
Can you help with a 504 plan or IEP?
A diagnosis and treatment letter from the evaluation can support a school's accommodation process, and established patients can request one. The decision about a 504 plan or IEP belongs to the school. When a district requires formal psychoeducational testing, that testing comes from a psychologist or the district itself, not this practice, and a referral is made.
What does a child or teen visit cost?
$179 self-pay for the 45–60 minutes initial evaluation and $129 for 20–30 minutes follow-up visits — the same as adult visits, with no membership fee. HSA and FSA cards, including a parent's, are accepted. Some commercial plans may be accepted; verify outpatient mental health and telehealth benefits for the child's plan first. Medicare, Medicaid, and AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) are not accepted; patients with those plans are still welcome to book as self-pay.
What if my child is in crisis?
Telehealth visits are for outpatient care, not emergencies. Call 911 for immediate danger, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call Arizona's statewide crisis line at 1-844-534-4673 — all available 24 hours a day. Telehealth visits here are for outpatient care; a child who is a danger to themselves or others needs emergency evaluation, and Angela can help the family plan for a higher level of care when one is needed.
