I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 10+ years of experience in the healthcare field.

Dr. Angela Queen is a dual-certified FNP and PMHNP. She has 25 years of experience treating mental health disorders in an outpatient primary care setting.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Massachusetts, and I've built my practice with a focus on making mental health care accessible. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I bring a straightforward, caring approach to every session. I believe in taking things one step at a time, so you always feel comfortable with the process, and I stay open to whatever approach works best for you. I also work at a crisis center, which keeps me grounded in the realities of what people face when they need support most.
For ten years, I have worked alongside children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. My career in pediatric nursing shaped how I see each young person I work with: as a whole child in the context of their family, their school, and their community. Now I am building my psychiatric practice around the children who deserve specialized care from someone who genuinely understands them. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I take the time needed to get it right, because every child's situation is different.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 20 years of nursing experience, complemented by specialized education and clinical expertise in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where every patient is treated with dignity, respect, and empathy.
My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, empowering individuals to actively participate in their mental health journey. I work closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and complementary approaches such as nutrition, exercise, and other evidence-based interventions. My goal is to help patients build resilience, improve their overall well-being, and achieve lasting, meaningful improvements in their mental health and quality of life.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boston
Finding psychiatrists in Boston starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of your care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, or life changes. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
Boston has many psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Back Bay, Dorchester, Roxbury, and Cambridge, which can make the search more detailed. Location may matter if you prefer in-person appointments near work, school, transit, or home. Virtual appointments can make scheduling easier if commute time or office hours are important factors. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each bio for appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how the psychiatrist describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Boston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists in the Boston area who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, then compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
