Welcome to Wily Wellness!

I’m Dr. Heather Carlisle, a board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals in midlife and beyond navigate life’s complexities. My approach is engaged, solutions-focused, and deeply personal. With a background in both medicine and psychotherapy, I integrate science-based treatments with meaningful conversations to help you regain clarity, confidence, and joy. My patients describe me as warm, perceptive, and intellectually curious—someone who listens with deep empathy while also providing actionable strategies for change. I founded Wily Wellness in 2021 to provide the kind of care I wished I would have received years ago. I hope my approach resonates with you.

Wily Wellness proudly serves patients in-person in Tucson, Arizona, and via video visits throughout the state of Arizona.

Who do we help?

You are intelligent, seasoned, and self-aware. You've probably read quite a few self-help books. 🙂 Perhaps you’ve spent your life building a career, raising a family, or contributing to your field. Now, you find yourself at a crossroads—grappling with changes in identity, loss, or uncertainty about what’s next. You’ve tried therapy or medication before, but it never quite felt like the right fit. You crave deep, meaningful conversations and expert guidance to help you move forward.
