Online psychiatric care for patients across Arizona.

Psychiatric care for anyone physically in Arizona.

Sigmon Psychiatric is a Tucson-based telehealth practice licensed to treat patients anywhere in Arizona. Sigmon Psychiatric accepts children, teens, and adults for psychiatric evaluations and medication management when they are physically located in Arizona during the appointment. Whether you are in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, Flagstaff, Yuma, or a rural county hours from the nearest clinic, the appointment is the same: a private video visit with one board-certified prescriber who follows your care from the first evaluation onward.

The one firm rule is location. Arizona licensure means you must be physically inside Arizona during each visit — at home, at work, in a parked car, anywhere private. If you are traveling out of state on your appointment day, reschedule rather than joining from elsewhere.

Angela Marton is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), not a physician psychiatrist. In Arizona, PMHNPs are licensed to evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently, so the visit covers what most people are looking for when they search for an online psychiatrist in Arizona: a diagnostic evaluation and ongoing medication management with a licensed prescriber. If your situation calls for a physician or a higher level of care, she will tell you and help you find it. Read more about how nurse practitioners and psychiatrists differ in Arizona.

What actually happens in the first 45–60 minutes.

The initial evaluation is a full psychiatric assessment, not a screening call. Angela reviews what brought you in, how symptoms show up day to day, prior diagnoses and medications (what helped, what did not, and why you stopped), medical history, sleep, substance use, and family history. Standardized symptom scales are used where they add clarity, so treatment decisions rest on measurable baselines rather than impressions.

You leave the first visit with a working diagnosis explained in plain language, a treatment plan, and a clear next step. When medication is appropriate, the prescription is sent electronically to the Arizona pharmacy you choose before the call ends. When therapy would help, Angela says so and coordinates with your therapist or helps you find one — medication management and evaluations are the services here, and she does not pretend otherwise.

Follow-up visits run 20–30 minutes and are scheduled at the interval your treatment needs, typically every few weeks while a medication is being adjusted and less often once you are stable. You see the same prescriber every time.

How availability really works here.

Many Arizona practices quote a first-appointment wait of several weeks to a few months. Sigmon Psychiatric is a single-prescriber practice with a live calendar, so new patients usually find an opening within the same week. That is a pattern, not a promise: availability changes daily, and a same-week time is never guaranteed. If the calendar looks full, how same-week appointments work explains what to text the office.

The fastest way to know is to look. Current openings are shown in real time on Zocdoc — you pick the slot, and you receive the video link with your confirmation. If nothing listed works for your schedule, text (520) 650-5111 and the office will help you find a time.

Because you book directly with the prescriber's calendar, there is no intake queue, no call-back list, and no assignment to whichever clinician is free that month.

Online prescriptions and controlled medications in Arizona.

Prescriptions are sent electronically to any pharmacy in Arizona — a neighborhood chain, an independent pharmacy, a grocery store, or a mail-order service. Refills and dose changes agreed at follow-up visits go out the same way.

Some psychiatric medications, including stimulants for ADHD and certain anxiety and sleep medications, are federally controlled substances. They can be prescribed through telehealth when clinically appropriate, but under stricter rules: Angela checks the Arizona Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program before prescribing, follows current DEA telemedicine requirements, and may ask for records from prior prescribers or an in-person evaluation in some situations. A first visit is an evaluation, not a guarantee of a specific medication.

What it costs, stated up front.

Self-pay pricing is published, not quoted after the fact: $179 for the initial evaluation and $129 for each follow-up medication-management visit. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. There is no membership, subscription, or platform fee.

Commercial insurance plans may be accepted, but coverage and network participation vary by exact plan. Before your first visit, call the member-services number on your card and confirm your outpatient mental health and telehealth benefits. Medicare, Medicaid, and AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) are not accepted; patients with those plans are still welcome to book as self-pay. Full details are on the insurance and pricing page.

One named prescriber, not a platform.

Online psychiatry in Arizona now ranges from national subscription apps to large group practices to independent clinicians. Each has trade-offs. Apps are convenient but often rotate clinicians and bundle a monthly fee; large groups have many providers but longer intake processes. Sigmon Psychiatric is the third option: you know who you are seeing before you book, you see the same prescriber every visit, and her public record is verifiable — a 5.0 rating across 88 verified Zocdoc reviews, board certification through the ANCC, and licensure through the Arizona State Board of Nursing.

When telehealth works — and when it doesn't.

Video visits work well for most outpatient psychiatric care: new evaluations, ongoing medication management, and check-ins during a medication change. Many patients find it easier to talk openly from their own space than in a waiting room, and it removes the drive, the parking, and the time off work.

Telehealth is not the right setting for an emergency. If you or someone with you is in immediate danger, call 911. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which is available 24 hours a day. Arizona also runs a statewide crisis line at 1-844-534-4673. Angela can help you plan for a higher level of care when one is needed, but online visits are for outpatient treatment.

What people ask before their first visit

Is an online psychiatrist accepting new patients 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. Appointment openings vary; current times are shown through Zocdoc at sigmonpsych.com/book.

How soon can I get an online psychiatry appointment?

Same-week openings are often available, but timing varies and is not guaranteed. The booking page shows current appointment times in real time.

Do I have to live in Arizona to be seen?

You must be physically located in Arizona during each appointment. Where you live matters less than where you are on the day of the visit; patients who travel should schedule visits for days they are in the state.

Can children and teens be seen online?

Yes. Children, teens, and adults are accepted for evaluations and medication management. A parent or guardian is involved in care for minors.

Can ADHD medication be prescribed online in Arizona?

Stimulant medications are controlled substances and can be prescribed by telehealth when clinically appropriate, following DEA telemedicine rules and Arizona prescription-monitoring requirements. An evaluation comes first, and a specific medication is never guaranteed.

Is Angela Marton a psychiatrist?

Angela Marton is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). In Arizona, PMHNPs evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently. She is not a physician psychiatrist, and the practice does not describe her as one.

Do you offer therapy or counseling?

The practice provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management. When therapy would help, Angela coordinates with your existing therapist or helps you find one.

Is my visit private and secure?

Yes. All appointments use HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video. Your medical information is protected the same way it would be in a physical office.

What if I have technical problems during the visit?

The office helps troubleshoot. If video genuinely will not work for a specific appointment, a phone call can usually be substituted.

How much does an online psychiatry visit cost without insurance?

$179 for the initial evaluation and $129 for follow-up visits. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Commercial insurance may be accepted; verify your plan's telehealth benefits first. Medicare, Medicaid, and AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) are not accepted; patients with those plans are still welcome to book as self-pay.
