Find a psychiatrist in Astoria, NY — covered by insurance

Hi there! I’m Jeff, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with roots in Med-Surg, Telemetry, and Psychiatric nursing. My journey in healthcare began at the bedside, supporting patients and families through some of their toughest days—an experience that shaped my deeply human, no-judgment approach to mental health care. I’m trained through an accredited PMHNP program and now provide thoughtful, evidence-based care that includes psychiatric evaluations, therapy support, and medication management. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, mood changes, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to listen, support, and help you find real, lasting solutions. Let’s work together to create a plan that fits your life and goals.

With over 20 years of experience in clinical care, education, and research, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatry support tailored to high performing adults seeking clarity, stability, and wellness. My goal is to provide you both empathic and evidence-based support that leads to sustaining improvement.

I was born and raised in both Texas and overseas via military father. I experienced the machismo of Texas along with the racism experienced by the mostly Latino/a population in Texas, and always wanted to find a career helping those who have been ostracized and "othered."

I am board certified with a masters degree in nursing from University of Texas, and as a licensed psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. I practice in the state of New York.

I enjoy assisting those with diagnoses of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, adhd, and schizophrenia, along with post-traumatic stress disorder, and the varied problems that arise from past trauma.

Maybe you aren't getting as much joy from spending time with their loved ones, or the sunset doesn’t feel as striking as it once did.

We'll use a gentle, collaborative approach to help you explore your thoughts without judgment.

You can expect open communication, respect, and individualized care focused on helping them achieve lasting emotional balance and improved daily functioning.

Welcome to Harbor Hope Psych Care. I have taken care of clients for over 25 years. I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner in family and psychiatry. I am dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With a strong foundation in both psychiatry and family practice, I bring a perspective to care recognizing that mind and body are deeply connected. I have experience in adolescent psychiatry. I provide medication management and brief psychotherapy.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who provides medically-oriented treatment for depression, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and Attention Deficit disorder. I pride myself as using non-addictive medications as much as possible. As a physician (MD) with a background in psychology, medicine, and neurology, my care is above average compared to providers without this background.

My approach is laser-focused, precision medication management. In addition to my clinical expertise, I mentor medical students, residents, and fellow providers. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Frank Netter School of Medicine. I plan to use all my clinical skills to help people achieve the maximum improvement in mental health.
