Evidence-Based Mental Health Treatment by Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners

Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis

Your initial psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive 60-minute appointment focused on understanding your mental and physical health, symptoms, and treatment history. During this visit, our board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners will:

• Conduct a thorough psychiatric assessment

• Review medical and mental health history

• Provide an accurate diagnosis

• Discuss evidence-based treatment options

We work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Medication Management

Ongoing medication management is a key component of effective psychiatric treatment. Follow-up appointments are typically 30 minutes and focus on:

• Monitoring medication effectiveness

• Adjusting prescriptions as needed

• Managing side effects

• Addressing new or ongoing concerns

Our goal is to ensure your treatment remains safe, effective, and aligned with your progress over time.

Conditions We Treat

We provide psychiatric treatment and medication management for a range of mental health conditions, including:

• Anxiety disorders

• Depression

• ADHD

• Mood disorders

• PTSD

• Insomnia

Psychotropic Genetic Testing

We offer genetic testing to help guide medication selection based on how your body may metabolize certain psychiatric medications.

This testing can:

• Support more informed prescribing decisions

• Reduce trial-and-error with medications

• Improve treatment outcomes

Genetic testing is quick, non-invasive, and can be performed as a standalone service or as part of your ongoing psychiatric care.

Medical Marijuana Certification (New York)

Medical cannabis is a provider-certified treatment option that may be appropriate for patients whose symptoms have not been adequately managed with traditional treatments.

Certification is based on clinical judgment, meaning patients may qualify for a wide range of conditions when appropriate.

Medical cannabis may help support:
