SUSAN BOWEN
OWNER/FOUNDER | ADVANCED TREATMENTS | KETAMINE | BENZODIAZEPINE TAPERING | ADHD
Susan Bowen is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of The Route Clinic, where she provides highly personalized, modern psychiatric care for adults across Chandler, Phoenix, and the surrounding Arizona communities. Her practice is designed for individuals seeking a more thoughtful, individualized, and results-driven approach to mental health care—particularly when traditional treatments have not been enough…..
Susan takes a trauma-informed, whole-person approach to treatment, recognizing the impact of both past and present experiences on mental health. She works with a full spectrum of psychiatric concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and complex or treatment-resistant presentations, tailoring care to each individual’s unique history, biology, and goals.
She has a strong clinical focus on advanced and rapid-acting therapies, offering a full spectrum of ketamine treatment, including oral, IM, and IV ketamine, as well as Spravato (esketamine). These options allow for a tailored, precision-based approach to care, supporting patients with a wide range of conditions beyond traditional treatment models.
At The Route Clinic, Susan also offers access to One-Day TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) in collaboration with a clinical psychologist, Dr. John Mansoor. This accelerated treatment model provides a streamlined option for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions, with the flexibility of a cash-pay structure that allows for broader clinical application beyond standard insurance limitations.
In addition to advanced therapies, Susan has extensive experience in benzodiazepine tapering using the Ashton Method, guiding patients through safe, structured, and carefully monitored reduction plans. She also provides specialized evaluation and treatment for late-diagnosed ADHD in adults, recognizing the significant impact that accurate diagnosis and targeted care can have later in life.
Susan is known for her direct, thoughtful, and highly individualized approach. She prioritizes clarity, efficiency, and meaningful outcomes—working closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan that is both clinically sound and realistically sustainable.
Her vision for The Route Clinic is to offer a more refined and effective model of psychiatric care—one that integrates advanced treatments, trauma-informed care, and a deeply personalized experience to help patients move toward lasting improvement and a higher quality of life.
