Katrina Lepthien, DO

Staff Psychiatrist

I create a supportive environment where patients can openly express their feelings and treatment goals. I take a collaborative approach, partnering with patients to guide decisions and ensure care aligns with their values and needs. I conduct a thorough history and symptom review, discuss diagnostic criteria, and answer questions about diagnoses. I prioritize education on treatment options and work collaboratively with patients and families to develop personalized plans that support their goals.

I am a psychiatrist with experience in outpatient and inpatient settings, working with children and adults. I earned my medical degree from Des Moines University and completed my psychiatry residency at Maricopa Integrated Health System (now Valleywise Creighton Health Alliance). I served as Chief Fellow of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biology from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

Lynn Klimo, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I foster a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where patients feel fully seen. I emphasize collaboration, open communication, and shared decision-making while working to uncover root causes rather than focusing solely on symptoms. My approach is compassionate, evidence-informed, and grounded in authentic connection, honoring each patient's values, identity, and goals. I begin with a comprehensive understanding of each patient's history, concerns, and desired outcomes. Treatment may integrate psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle strategies, and holistic techniques. I explore emotional, relational, and behavioral dimensions, emphasizing resilience, skills, and long-term wellness. My process includes regular reassessment and tailored adjustments to support patients in becoming their most fulfilled and authentic selves.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with additional certifications in Integrative Holistic Medicine and Energy Psychology. I earned my medical degree from Case Western Reserve University and completed a psychiatry residency through NEOUCOM, along with a family practice internship at Summa Health. With more than 30 years of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and consultative settings, I have also served in leadership roles and developed deep expertise in trauma-informed care, treatment-resistant cases, addiction co-occurrence, and integrative approaches that blend neuroscience, psychology, and consciousness.

Michael Stoddard, MD

Michael Stoddard, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

Although I specialize in medication management of psychiatric conditions, supportive psychotherapy is often incorporated into my visits, as I believe a combined approach leads to a more robust treatment response. Additionally, I aim to enhance wellness through discussion of lifestyle modifications that emphasize quality sleep, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.

Initial appointments consist of a psychiatric evaluation and discussion of evidence-based treatment options. If telehealth is deemed to be an appropriate modality and pharmacotherapy is recommended, discussion will consist of selecting a suitable medication to address target symptoms while minimizing adverse effects. Follow-up visits focus on assessing treatment response and adjusting regimens to optimize outcomes.

I earned my medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson and completed my residency at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix. I am board-certified in psychiatry and provide care for adult patient populations. Prior to my career in medicine, I proudly served in the U.S. Air Force.

Michael Watkins, MD

Michael Watkins, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist. From traditional psychodynamic therapy to the more modern mindfulness-based dialectical behavior therapy, I take the approach that best serves my patients. In addition to being trained in a variety of therapies, I also employ a positive psychiatry approach which, as well as addressing a patient's symptoms, also focuses on their strengths and how they can be used to overcome adversity.

I completed my residency at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler. In addition to being thoroughly trained in psychopharmacology, I have also received extensive training in psychotherapy.

Prior to pursuing a career in psychiatry, I was a high school math teacher, and prior to that, I was an NCAA Division I college athlete. My teaching and athletic careers have given me a well-rounded perspective on the human experience. Drawing on my academic training and life experiences, I meet patients where they are at, help them overcome their obstacles, and serve as a guide and a resource for them on their journey to their desired destination.

I approach healing as both a science and an art. My care is profoundly patient-centered, collaborative, and holistic, honoring the intricate connection between body, mind, and spirit. I believe in the quiet power of nourishment, restful sleep, joyful movement, and meaningful connection as essential threads in the fabric of wellness. I am a proud and affirming ally to the LGBTQIA community, creating a space where all identities are seen, respected, and supported.

I am dually board-certified in Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatry, and my journey through medicine has been shaped by rich and diverse training. I completed my General Psychiatry residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, and my fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Nassau University Medical Center in Long Island, NY. I have extensive experience treating a wide spectrum of conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and sleep disturbances, and I tailor my approach to each individual's unique story.

My treatment model includes thoughtful, personalized medication management, with generous 30-minute follow-up sessions to ensure care is never rushed and always attuned to the patient's evolving needs. When appropriate, I may gently recommend the added support of a therapist, recognizing that healing is often a shared and layered journey. With a heart rooted in empathy and a mind guided by clinical excellence, I walk beside my patients on the path to well-being, honoring their resilience and helping them rediscover their wholeness.

Stephanie Jarvie, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

My practice focuses on medication management, which I offer in conjunction with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up appointments. I work collaboratively with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, lifestyle interventions, and stress reduction techniques. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in treating a diverse range of psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorders. I believe that additional therapy may be necessary and ask that patients bring a therapist into their care team to provide the best outcome.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and have been practicing for over eight years. I completed my Bachelor's degree at the University of Bristol in my native United Kingdom, attended Saint George's University School of Medicine in Grenada, and completed my residency training in psychiatry at New York Medical College Metropolitan Hospital in New York City. As chief resident, I learned to balance clinical experience with organizational duties and scholarly activities. More recently, I have been an inpatient clinical psychiatrist at Banner University Medical Center in Arizona and have served as an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Arizona for four years. I have played a crucial role both clinically and as part of multi-disciplinary treatment teams.

I am originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. My studies and training have taken me on a journey from the United Kingdom and the Caribbean to New York City and Arizona. I draw on my exposure to diverse patient populations from around the world to inform my clinical skills and treatment plans.

Looking for a psychiatrist in Tucson, AZ? Talkiatry matches you with a psychiatrist licensed in Arizona who sees Tucson residents by video, from anywhere in the Tucson area. Care happens from home, on your schedule, with no commute and no local waitlist.

How online psychiatry works for Tucson residents

You start with a free online assessment about your location, symptoms, and history. We match you with a psychiatrist licensed in Arizona, and you meet by video from home. First visits are 60 minutes; follow-ups are usually about 30 minutes.

Because care is virtual, there is no Tucson office to visit. Your psychiatrist must be licensed in the state where you are during the visit, which is why these pages are organized by state and city.

What a psychiatrist in Tucson can help with

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can prescribe and manage medication, and therapy is available too. Talkiatry psychiatrists work with a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, plus bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Care is also available for children and teens.

Some medications are controlled substances, and controlled substances are prescribed when clinically appropriate and legally permissible; a prescription is never guaranteed, and some medications may not be available for online prescribing — your psychiatrist will discuss options.

Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Tucson?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is checked during the free assessment. Costs vary by plan, so contact your insurance company for a detailed estimate of what you would pay.

Mental health care in Tucson

Access to psychiatric care is limited across Arizona. The state has 213 federally designated mental health professional shortage areas, and only about 10.1% of its need for mental health practitioners is currently met.

An estimated 144 more psychiatrists would be needed to remove those shortage designations, according to KFF. Virtual care helps close that gap by connecting you with a psychiatrist licensed in Arizona without a local wait.

Common questions about psychiatric care in Tucson, AZ

Can I go straight to a psychiatrist?

In most cases, yes. You usually do not need a referral to start with a psychiatrist. With Talkiatry, you begin with a free online assessment, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Arizona.

What is the 3 month rule in mental health?

There is no single official "3-month rule" in mental health. People sometimes use the phrase to describe how long it can take to notice steady progress or adjust to a new medication. Your psychiatrist sets a follow-up schedule based on your symptoms and treatment plan, not a fixed rule.

What is the best mental health facility in Tucson?

The best fit depends on your needs, insurance, and the conditions you want help with. Talkiatry is a virtual practice rather than a local clinic, so there is no Tucson office to visit. You can meet a psychiatrist licensed in Arizona by video, usually within days.

Why is it so difficult to see a psychiatrist?

Demand for care outpaces the number of psychiatrists in many areas. In Arizona, only about 10.1% of the need for mental health practitioners is currently met, according to KFF. Virtual care shortens the wait by matching you with a psychiatrist licensed in the state, often within days.
