Hi, I'm Dionne, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management, and cultural and ethnic issues.

Hello,
I am Dr. Tameka White, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of experience caring for adults with complex medical and mental health conditions.
Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first before finally seeking help for themselves. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, emotional inheritance, and or caregiver role strain caring for individuals affected by HIV, I strive to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and never judged.
My background includes critical care and HIV management, allowing me to understand the close relationship between physical health and emotional well-being.
I have a special interest in caring for men's health, professionals, caregivers, and adults from diverse communities, including Black, Caribbean, Asian, and other diaspora communities.
PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Clifton Park, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Clifton Park starts with knowing whether you need psychiatric care, therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric care often includes medication management, which means reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and making changes when clinically appropriate. People often look for psychiatric support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner whose listed specialties match the care you want.
In a smaller community like Clifton Park, nearby psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger areas, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes scheduling, appointment format, and availability important to review before booking. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading each profile can help you understand the clinician’s focus, communication style, appointment types, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Clifton Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and review estimated costs before you book. You can compare profiles, choose virtual or in-person care when available, 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.
