Hi, I'm Dr. William Yu, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience providing medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.

I am a triple board‐certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). This unique combination allows me to care for individuals across the entire lifespan, with a deep understanding of how physical health, hormones, trauma, environment, and life transitions shape mental well‐being.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and rooted in both conventional psychiatry and functional medicine principles. I work to understand the root causes of symptoms—not just treat them—by considering biological, psychological, hormonal, nutritional, and environmental factors. Treatment plans may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, mind‐body approaches, and supportive therapy.

My style is warm, patient‐centered, and grounded in partnership. We build your plan together, ensuring it is evidence‐based, individualized, and flexible as you grow. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, or complex mind‐body concerns, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you toward lasting emotional and physical wellness.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist with expertise in medication management, psychoanalysis, CBT and mindfulness-based therapy. I also have expertise in interventional treatments and work as a clinical professor at Northwell Zucker Hillside Hospital. I work with adults and have openings in the evening and weekends for busy working professionals. I specialize in treating a wide array of conditions: Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Social Anxiety, ADHD and Insomnia. At this time, I am only taking patients who are interested in medication management not individual therapy. I also do not take patients needing medical leave from work.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual certifications in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice, I provide compassionate, holistic care for both mental and physical well-being. With over 18 years of experience, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or depression, I’m here to guide you toward a healthier, balanced life. Let’s work together toward the life you deserve.
