About

Mindful Choice Institute

Welcome to Mindful Choice!!  I am the CEO and owner of this private practice that was founded in 2014.  My goal for Mindful Choice is to provide stigma free services to patients in the comfort of their homes.  I am of the mindset that we all deserve equal treatment when it comes to mental wellness. For those that are unable to to find a provider nearby or have to wait months and months for an appointment, then telepsychiatry is for you.  All you need is internet access and an email address to make an appointment.

​

Serving clients ages 5 and up in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and New York.

Practice Policies and Permissions

Greetings!!

 

Allow me to introduce you to our company Mindful Choice Institute.

 

Mindful Choice Institute provides Psychiatric Services and Telepsychiatry services to patients in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and New York. We are based out of Green Valley, Arizona and see patients face to face in our 210 W Continental Road Suite 244-A office, but also provide telepsychiatry services to your home if desired. 

 

We understand that caring for patients with mental illness and substance abuse disorders is a difficult task and are ready to provide individualized services to each patient. Since each patient is different in their level of acuity, a well-rounded intervention approach is needed for remission of symptoms and recovery from addiction.

 

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I am doctoral prepared to provide Medication Assisted Treatment as well as buprenorphine to the right patient.  

 

Scheduling appointments is easy.  Patients can independently make their appointments on line, pay their co-pay and fill out intake forms prior to the visit or you can call to schedule an appointment.  We are currently working on a concierge partnership with clients who do not have insurance and pay out of pocket for their treatment.  This service is a membership which allows patients to schedule 2-3 visits per month for a flat monthly fee.  Membership also provides online education and tools patients can use to help manage their symptoms and prevent crisis, hospitalization or relapse.   

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office at 520-477-1180 or leave a message on the website and we will respond within 24 hours.  Please fax referrals to 870-258-6225. 

 

We look forward to working with you and providing personalized treatment.

​

Be Safe!!

Suboxone Contract

 

I agree to accept the following treatment contract for buprenorphine office-based opioid addiction treatment:

 

  1. I will take the medication exactly as prescribed by my provider.  If I need to make changes I will speak with my provider first. Taking more buprenorphine than prescribed is medication misuse and may result in discharge from treatment, supervised dosing at the clinic, referral to a higher level of care, or change in medication based on appropriate evaluation.

  2. I will keep my medication in a safe and secure place such as a lock box.  I understand that if medication is lost or stolen it will not be replaced.

  3. I will keep my provider informed of all my medications and will not take controlled substances prescribed by other providers without discussing it first with my provider.

  4. I will not take medication prescribed to other patients and will not give my medication to other patients.

  5. I will not use illicit substances of any kind or risk termination of treatment.

  6. I will keep all my appointments and understand that medication will not ne refilled without an appointment.

  7. I agree to random urinalysis testing or random pill/film count.  If I choose not to provide a sample, if the sample is suspicious of being tainted or in the event of intoxication or suspicion of diversion of buprenorphine, I understand that I may be discharged from treatment.

  8. I understand that medication alone is not sufficient treatment for addiction, I will therefore attend minimally 10 therapy sessions and create a recovery treatment plan with my therapist.  This treatment plan should include addiction education and a relapse prevention plan.

  9. FOR WOMEN ONLY: I understand that Suboxone is not approved for pregnant or breastfeeding women, I agree to communicate my plan to become pregnant with my provider in order to safely replace my medication Subutex or be referred to a methadone clinic.

  10. Violence, threatening language, inappropriate behavior towards staff or provider, or illegal activity at the office or otherwise will result in treatment termination from our clinic.
