My name is Adam Carter, I am a board certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been providing outpatient psychiatric services, including medication management and psychotherapy in the greater Phoenix area for the past 6 years. I was born and raised in the state of Maine and relocated with my wife and our 4 children to Arizona 10 years ago. I have been working in mental health for over 20 years. I am trained and experienced in treating a variety of psychiatric conditions with a special interest in child and adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression and anxiety.
I believe the needs of the patient come first. I have implemented this into my practice as I take a personal approach at identifying and treating conditions not only to decrease symptoms, but to also ensure each individual experiences improved quality of life. I take great pride in providing the best care to my patients and look forward to helping you meet your mental healthcare needs.
“If anyone is needing mental help Dr. Carter is the person to make an appointment with. He is kind, professional, knowledgeable, understanding. I feel so completely blessed to have found him. He is my Doctor for life.”
Ewelina (Evelyn) Lucarelli is a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in treating adolescents and adults. She has extensive knowledge working in behavioral health and utilizes an individualized approach to each client. Previous experience in mental health includes crisis stabilization, addiction disorders, and serious mental illness in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She contributed educational and clinical expertise while serving as a clinical instructor for local nursing programs. Ewelina collaborates with physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed therapists and counselors to provide a holistic approach to treating mental illness. She has been in the medical field for over 10 years with the last 7 years dedicated specifically to mental health.
My path to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner was not the usual one. I was a junior high and high school special and regular teacher for 22 years. Eight of those years were spent teaching adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities. I do truly love working with teens.
Though I loved teaching, there came a time for change. As a registered nurse I worked in local hospitals as a medical-surgical nurse, a travel nurse, and finally a drug and alcohol detox nurse.
Additionally, I have a lot of family experience with ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders. I have been on the inside and understand the impact mental health issues have on both the individual and the family.
I don’t believe in just prescribing medication. Medication helps when appropriate, but therapy, learning strategies, and changing negative self-talk are just as important. Psychiatry blends together teaching, problem-solving, and listening in a way that I am able to help people become their best selves.
