Doreen Phillips, PMHNP
Licensed in: California, Texas, Washington
My passion for supporting others beyond traditional educational settings led me to a career in mental health. As a former teacher, I saw how students often needed guidance in areas beyond academics—navigating emotional challenges, building confidence, and fostering resilience. I wanted to be someone who could help individuals work through these struggles and achieve a better quality of life.

Specializing in medication management for ADHD, depression, and anxiety, I take a collaborative approach to care, ensuring that treatment aligns with each person’s unique needs. Witnessing the transformative power of encouragement and support continues to inspire me, and I strive to provide compassionate, effective care that empowers individuals on their path to well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?

Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
