Phoenix Psychiatric Care That Goes Beyond a Prescription
Many adults seeking psychiatric care in Phoenix are looking for more than a medication refill. They want a physician who takes the time to understand the full picture — symptoms, history, relationships, goals, and the challenges that brought them to treatment in the first place.
Dr. Michael DePalma provides medication management, psychotherapy, and ketamine therapy for adults throughout the Phoenix metro area. Patients come from Arcadia, Biltmore, Ahwatukee, North Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and surrounding communities seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care.

Psychiatric Services for Phoenix-Area Adults
Medication Management
Medication Management
Finding the right psychiatric medication is rarely straightforward. Many patients arrive after trying multiple medications without a clear understanding of why previous treatments helped, failed, or caused unwanted side effects.
Dr. DePalma begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and develops treatment recommendations based on your history, symptoms, goals, and response over time. Medication decisions are made thoughtfully, with ongoing adjustments guided by clinical progress rather than quick fixes.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy
Medication can be helpful, but many patients benefit most when treatment also addresses the underlying patterns contributing to distress.
At One Psychiatry, psychotherapy and medication management can be integrated within the same treatment relationship. For patients who have previously worked with separate providers, this often creates a more consistent and coordinated approach to care.
Ketamine Treatments
Ketamine Treatments
Ketamine therapy may be an option for adults struggling with treatment-resistant depression and related conditions.
At One Psychiatry, ketamine treatment is provided within an ongoing psychiatric relationship. Because Dr. DePalma oversees the broader treatment plan, ketamine therapy can be integrated with medication management, psychotherapy, and long-term psychiatric care when appropriate.
