Psychiatry and Behavior Health Services
Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology
Dr Padma Aking is a board certified psychiatrist who treats an array of psychiatric disorders. She is of the firm belief that the mind ‘matters’. Mental illnesses are medical illnesses that are sometimes complicated by bio-psycho-social factors in an individual’s life. Just as is the case for other medical disorders, various treatment options are available for psychiatric disorders as well.
Working together in overcoming the stigma associated with mental illness is one of her goals. Dr Aking’s other objective is to encourage and restore hope into the treatment of psychiatric illnesses for a better quality of the patient’s holistic health – of the body, mind and spirit.
Do you struggle with negative thoughts, relationship problems, or feel like you can’t get past the bad things that have happened to you?

I have been a therapist for over 12 years, specializing in trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and self-harm. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as an advocate at at Sojourner Center Domestic Violence shelter in Phoenix for 4 years.
I use an eclectic approach, matching my interventions to each client’s needs. I consider each client’s culture, strengths and resources in my work. My primary therapeutic orientations, however, are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am recently trained in EMDR for trauma and Exposure and Response prevention for OCD and am looking to expand my skillset to use this modality to help my clients even more. I also provide clinical supervision to unlicensed therapists looking to gain their clinical hours to submit to the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health.

Hello, I am Elise Terry and I am a psychiatric physician assistant with the TIM team. I am an Arizona native and completed my undergraduate education at Arizona State University before completing my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies at Northern Arizona University at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Prior to joining the TIM team, I spent time working briefly in internal medicine and then transitioned to providing psychiatric care to primarily older adults. I also have past experience treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. I truly believe that mental health is health. The mind deserves the same care we give the rest of the body and my primary goal is to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive, holistic, and individualized care to each client. I look forward to working with you and your loved ones.
