Why Integrated Care

Most mental health care is fragmented. Ours isn’t.

A psychiatrist who only does meds. A therapist in a different office. Three schedulers who don’t know each other. We built MHCA to be the opposite.

  • One assessment, one team, one plan

    Your psychiatrist, therapist, and treatment team review the same chart and meet regularly about your progress.

  • Every service under one roof

    Psychiatry, counseling, testing, IOP, TMS, and more — no referrals to chase, no “we don’t do that here.”

  • Insurance handled before you start

    We verify benefits and handle prior authorization before treatment begins.

Measured Outcomes

We don’t guess whether care is working. We measure it.

Every MHCA patient’s progress is tracked with the same validated assessments used in clinical research — so your care team can see what’s working and adjust early.

86% of patients in comprehensive care improve.

Of patients who began care with clinically significant depression, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms, 73% showed measurable improvement. Engagement raises the odds: 81% of patients who took part in two or more coordinated services improved — and in comprehensive care, where wellness services are integrated with psychiatry and counseling, 86% improved. One team, one chart, better outcomes.

55,000+

patient visits since January 2024 — 3,500+ patients across nine coordinated service lines.

~3 months

Most patients who improve show clinically meaningful gains by their first follow-up assessment.

900+

patients tracked over time with validated assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7) — data, not testimonials.

Based on 944 patients with two or more validated assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5) between January 2024 and May 2026; improvement measured as first vs. most recent documented score. “Clinically significant symptoms” = PHQ-9 ≥ 10, GAD-7 ≥ 10, or PCL-5 ≥ 33 at first assessment (n=629); 73% improved on at least one such measure. Among those patients, 81% of the subset engaged in two or more MHCA service lines (n=520) and 86% of the subset engaged in three or more (n=393) improved; these figures are descriptive — patients are not randomly assigned to service combinations. “Within about 3 months” reflects that 74% of improving patients showed a reliable improvement (PHQ-9 decrease of 5+ points) by their first follow-up assessment (median 105 days). Visit and patient counts from all MHCA encounters, January 2024 – May 2026. Individual results vary; outcomes data is observational and not a guarantee of results.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Find your starting point in two questions.

1 · Who is care for?

2 · What do you need help with?

Our Approach

Care that treats your whole self — mind and body.

We use the biopsychosocial method: instead of treating a single symptom, we look at the three forces shaping how you feel — biological, psychological, and social — and where they overlap, your care team builds one integrated plan. Here’s how that unfolds from your first call:

Biological Psychological Social YourPlan
1

A friendly intake call

Within one business day, an intake specialist verifies your insurance and schedules your assessment.

2

A comprehensive assessment

A thorough diagnostic evaluation with a licensed clinician — the foundation for everything that follows.

3

Your personalized plan

Therapy, psychiatry, testing, IOP, wellness — or a combination. Same team, same chart.

4

Ongoing care & adjustment

We measure outcomes and adjust. Step up care or step down care as needed — you stay with the same team.

Common Questions

What patients ask before their first visit.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who diagnoses mental health conditions and prescribes medication; a therapist provides counseling and skills-based treatment. At MHCA they work on the same team and share one chart, so you don’t have to choose — your plan can include both. Learn about our integrated care model.
What happens at a first psychiatric appointment?
Your first visit at MHCA is a comprehensive 120-minute mental health assessment with a licensed clinician. You’ll talk through your history, symptoms, and goals, and leave with an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. See what to expect.
How do I get an ADHD diagnosis in Arizona?
Start with a comprehensive ADHD evaluation. MHCA’s doctoral-level psychologists test both adults and children at our Mesa and Glendale clinics, and we also offer autism spectrum and psychoeducational testing. Testing & evaluations.
Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication online in Arizona?
Yes. Through secure telehealth, MHCA psychiatric providers can evaluate you, prescribe most mental health medications, and manage refills from anywhere in Arizona. Some controlled medications may require an in-person visit. Virtual care.
How much does a psychiatrist cost with or without insurance?
MHCA is in-network with most major plans — UnitedHealthcare/Optum, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, Medicare Part B, TriWest, TRICARE, and Ambetter — so most patients pay only a copay. Self-pay rates are available; we verify your benefits free before your first visit so there are no surprises. Pricing & insurance.
What is an intensive outpatient program (IOP)?
An IOP is structured group and individual treatment several days per week — more support than weekly therapy, without hospitalization. MHCA’s adult IOP runs 4 days per week, and a teen IOP is also available. Outpatient programs.
Do you offer online psychiatry across Arizona?
Yes. MHCA provides telepsychiatry statewide — evaluations, medication management, and therapy via secure, HIPAA-compliant video — serving Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Tucson, Flagstaff, and every Arizona community. Telehealth.
