Alliance Psychiatry

'Compassionate, Individualized, Traditional, Holistic, and Advanced Highly Effective Mental Health Treatment you can rely on.' =============================================================As native Phoenician, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Arizona before attending the New York University School of Medicine. My rigorous medical education included direct instruction from some of the most world-renowned experts in Psychiatry, with opportunities to serve patients in NYC's oldest, highly acclaimed Psychiatric Emergency Center in Bellevue Hospital. In addition to the standard Psychiatric Residency training I received at the University of Colorado, I also pursued an internal medicine internship at Mayo Clinic Arizona. These foundations have allowed me to strategically target interventions at the complex interplay between mental health and physical health (mind/body). At the University of Colorado Hospital, I worked extensively in a state-of-the-art program, Center for Dependency Addiction and Rehabilitation (CeDAR) which fueled my passion for treating chemical and behavioral addictions. I also received unique, one-on-one faculty mentorship within Denver's Psychoanalytic Institute, which helped me develop my psychodynamic psychotherapy orientation. My engagement in the Denver VA PTSD Residential Rehabilitation Program allowed me to participate in the recovery of combat veterans within a collaborative multidisciplinary treatment team. This unique experience inspired me to pursue a leadership position as Chief Resident and seek employment at the Phoenix VA. Over the last decade, I’ve been treating high-risk veterans with complex psychiatric/medical comorbidities, fiercely advocating for their wellbeing within General Mental Health. I've treated conditions ranging from mild situational/relationship stressors and grief to anxiety disorders, including OCD, substance abuse, anxiety, complex PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, and severe treatment-schizophrenia. I was the only psychiatrist to pursue additional psychotherapy training and work in the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) program; under the supervision from a direct pupil of Marsha Linehan, the creator of this revolutionary treatment, who along with a group of incredibly talented therapists helped me further broaden my psychotherapy skillset and techniques. I have served as the VA Site Director for the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine Psychiatry Clerkship, educating and mentoring the medical students--the next generation of doctors. ============================================================= 'I am personally and professionally committed to your recovery--failure is not an option.' ============================================================= My medical and psychiatric training and experiences have provided me the ability to respectfully meet my patients “where they are,' without any stigma or judgment. I am culturally sensitive, with advanced training and experience treating patients from diverse clinical populations including members of the LGBTQ+ community, racial/ethnic minorities, individuals on the autism spectrum, refugees from war-torn countries, and survivors of sexual assault. I feel privileged and honored to guide and witness my patient's individualized journeys toward healing and joy. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, making my 5 year old daughter laugh, restful (and not-so-restful) vacations, and savoring my wife’s culinary masterpieces.

Great listener. Puts you at ease. Was my first time seeking mental health care and really did a great job listening to my concerns and being available.

I have been receiving care from Dr. Metelits for several years. He has been very attentive and provided guidance on several alternatives to medication while providing excellent insight on current therapies and medications that would benefit my symptoms. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a qualified and experienced provider.

ETVerified patient

Dr. Metelits is clearly the best Psychiatrist I have ever had in 50 years of going to a Psychiatrist. He listens and is empathetic. And though he is an MD and can prescribe necessary medications for your conditions he spends time to get to know and understand what you are going through or dealing with. In this way he goes beyond most Psychiatrists by offering psychological therapeutic concepts. You will not find another Psychiatrist like Dr. Metelits.

RBVerified patient

Dr. Metelits is fantastic! He is not a typical psychiatrist in that he doesn't just push medication in your face. He is genuinely interested in and concerned about your mental health and associated symptoms. He takes time to listen to you and will discuss all available options, benefits, and downsides of various treatment options. When I first began seeing Dr. Metelits I felt hope for a better future immediately because he took the time to listen to me. He is highly approachable, genuine, and absolutely cares about your individual wellbeing. He values my input and will take it into consideration when we discuss adjusting, changing, or discontinuing any medication. He's not motivated by money from the big pharmaceutical companies, but rather is motivated by helping you feel better and live your best life. Dr. Metelits is truly amazing and compassionate. I am living a much better, happier, and healthier life thanks to him. I can't recommend him enough. Highly highly recommend!

RRVerified patient

Dr. Metelits has been my psychiatrist for over eight years. Prior to meeting with Dr. Metelits, I had met with and was treated by countless psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health counselors/therapists. Dealing with post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, insomnia and life in general is tough. Equally as daunting is finding a doctor that will actually take the time to listen to what you are saying. I feel like the psychiatrist I met with in the past were in a rush to prescribe a host of medications that had me walking around like a zombie forgetting why it was I sought treatment in the first place. Dr. Metelits is not only my psychiatrist, he is a confidant, an ear to listen without passing judgement, a friend. Thank you Dr. Metelits

BRVerified patient

Dr. Metelits has been my trusted physician for over a decade to guide me through the ups and downs with genuine care and expertise. His commitment to my well-being has made a profound difference in my life, and I highly recommend his practice to anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable care.

DGVerified patient

Dr. Metelits has been assisting with my mental health for a few years now. From day one He listened and addressed my concerns. He gave me options for a successful treatment plan. He has made my treatment feel personal, and always remembers important parts of our past conversation. I highly recommend his service.

JSVerified patient

Dr. Metelits is an excellent psychiatric provider. He is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He made me feel very comfortable while talking through some of my issues. He was highly recommended and I’m glad I finally made this leap of faith to get the help I need.
