Accepting new patients throughout New York State. I’m Mark House, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and founder of Evening Harbor Psychiatry. I provide online psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, PTSD, grief, stress, and life transitions.

Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent 22 years in education and later worked as a registered nurse in psychiatric and medical settings. These experiences strengthened my belief that effective care begins with listening, clear communication, and understanding each person's circumstances.

I particularly enjoy working with adults who want to better understand their symptoms, explore medication options, and improve their daily functioning. My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative.

Evening telehealth appointments, including select times after 7 p.m., make it easier to prioritize your mental health without rearranging your workday.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in the mental health field for more than 15 years, in acute inpatient psychiatric care and as a psychiatric liaison consultant, primarily in the emergency room setting with a focus on crisis intervention. Much of my earlier work focused on psychiatric assessment, crisis intervention, and helping individuals and families navigate some of their most difficult moments.

Today, I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy for individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns. I believe good mental health care begins with feeling heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm, judgment-free environment where you can be honest about what you are experiencing and what you would like to change.

I want you to feel comfortable and understood from the very first conversation we have.

I see care as something we build together, not something done to you, so your voice shapes every step of the plan. Whether you are just starting to notice something feels off or you have carried a struggle for years, you deserve a partner who listens closely and treats your goals as the compass. I bring warmth, encouragement, and a genuine belief that change is possible, and I am glad you are here.

Happy patient looking away

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 Buffalo

Finding the right psychiatrist in Buffalo starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support. Both can be helpful depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether they match what you are looking for.

Buffalo has a steady range of psychiatry options, including local offices in the city and nearby areas like Amherst and Hamburg, plus virtual appointments across New York. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their communication style, appointment format, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Buffalo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your insurance. You can enter your plan details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse profiles 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.
