About Compassionate Christian Psychiatry
Compassionate Christian Psychiatry LLC is an outpatient psychiatric practice serving adults in Peoria, Arizona and the greater Phoenix area. Our website exists to make expert, faith-sensitive mental health care easy to reach: you can learn how we treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and grief, review our approach to medication management, and request a first appointment in a few gentle steps. Every request submitted through this site is reviewed directly by our clinical team, and we follow up personally to schedule your visit — in person at our quiet, garden-side office or by secure telehealth video from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Our care is built for adults who want both worlds honored: rigorous, evidence-based psychiatry and room for prayer, scripture and spiritual meaning in the healing process. There is no pressure and no requirement to share your beliefs — we simply treat the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
The practice is led by two experienced psychiatric providers: Ferdinand L. Briones and Imelda Balili, who share a conviction that excellent clinical science and compassionate Christian hospitality belong in the same room. They personally wrote and review the content on this site, so what you read here reflects how care is actually delivered. We accept most major insurance plans and are glad to verify your benefits before your first visit. To begin, visit our request form or email psychelp@compsychiatry.com.
