My name is Dr. Sharon Campbell‐Newman, and I am a dual‐certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, leadership experience, and a patient‐centered approach to every aspect of my practice.
I began my psychiatric nursing career after graduating from Columbia University School of Nursing in 2009. Several years later, I pursued an advanced practice degree, also at Columbia University, and earned a PhD. I lived in Poland and France before I arrived to the United States at the turn of this century. Given my international experience, I work in three languages: English, French, and Polish. I offer therapy and medication management and the clients and me decide on the best approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Amityville
Finding psychiatrists in Amityville starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Some people start with a prescriber for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Others work with a therapist, or with both a therapist and a prescriber. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want support with.
In a smaller Long Island community like Amityville, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for care that fits your schedule. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A psychiatrist’s bio can also help you understand their communication style and what to expect during visits.
Psychiatric care in Amityville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who accept your plan, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, 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.
