Meet Your Provider
As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. While I have a deep connection to veterans and first responders—having served as a Marine with combat experience in Fallujah—I also welcome anyone seeking support for their mental well-being.
I take an integrated approach to treatment, which may include medication management and lifestyle modifications tailored to your individual needs. In our first few sessions, we will take a deep dive into your health history and current challenges to develop a plan that supports your well-being. My practice is built on trust, respect, and a commitment to helping you become the best version of yourself.
I hold a Master of Science in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Eastern Kentucky University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University. My educational background, combined with 14 years of healthcare experience, allows me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care.
Outside of my practice, I’ve been happily married for 16 years and am a proud parent to a daughter and a son. Our home is a lively one, shared with three dogs, chickens, and three rescued potbelly pigs. In my free time, I love exploring the vast Arizona landscape through camping, hiking, kayaking, and off-roading adventures. These outdoor experiences ground me and fuel my passion for helping others find balance and fulfillment.
Whether you’ve served on the front lines or are simply looking for guidance through life’s challenges, I’m here to help. If you're ready to take the next step, let’s work together toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Corby Alaniz, PMHNP-BC
From the Battlefield to the Frontlines of Care
I began my journey of service in 2004 when I joined the Marines, becoming an Infantry Mortarman (0341) with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. I deployed twice to Fallujah, Iraq—first in 2005 and again in 2007—where I faced the harsh realities of combat and learned the true meaning of resilience and brotherhood.
After my military service, I continued my commitment to helping others by pursuing a career in healthcare. As an intensive care nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of death and loss, not only on patients and their families but also on the dedicated healthcare workers fighting on the frontlines.
These experiences—on the battlefield and in the ICU—shaped my understanding of trauma, grief, and the strength required to carry on. They also fueled my passion for helping veterans, first responders, and others struggling with depression, PTSD, and anxiety find hope and purpose.
Today, as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I bring this unique perspective to my practice, combining my military background with my frontline healthcare experience to provide compassionate, integrated mental health care. My mission is to support those who have faced life's toughest battles—whether on the battlefield, in the hospital, or in their own minds—and help them lead fulfilling, meaningful lives.
