Hi there, I’m Oscar Oliver Baker, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) passionate about helping people feel more balanced, confident, and supported in their daily lives. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, stress, and burnout. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, personalized, and judgment-free.
My approach combines thoughtful medication management with supportive therapy and practical coping strategies tailored to your goals and lifestyle. Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or looking for a provider who truly listens, I strive to create a safe space where you feel comfortable and empowered in your care.
Hi, I'm David the founder of Oram Psychiatry, a private practice that serves all of New York, DC and Maryland. I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, individualized mental health care and I've been recognized by Todays Nurse as a top provider, which reflects my commitment to excellence in psychiatric care.
I specialize in diagnosing and treating a comprehensive range of psychiatric disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar and depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, dissociative disorders, somatic symptom disorders, feeding and eating disorders, elimination disorders, sleep-wake disorders, sexual dysfunctions, gender dysphoria, disruptive and conduct disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, neurocognitive disorders, personality disorders, paraphilic disorders, and other mental health conditions.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQAI and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
Seeking help for your mental health is a courageous first step, and I'm honored to be part of that journey. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change.
I am Promise Awe, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns. I also have experience supporting individuals living with dementia and behavioral symptoms associated with aging.
My approach is collaborative and personalized because I believe that no two people are the same. I take time to understand your unique experiences, goals, and challenges before developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether treatment includes medication management, supportive therapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination of approaches, my focus is helping you feel better while empowering you to take an active role in your care.
Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new provider who truly listens, I look forward to partnering with you. Together, we'll work toward improving your mental wellness, strengthening your resilience, and helping you live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Elmira, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Elmira starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you want help with and whether you are looking for talk therapy, medication support, or both.
Elmira is a smaller market, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New York cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in New York. Psychiatric medication management visits 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 what their bio says about communication style, specialties, and session structure.
Psychiatry in Elmira 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 expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who take your plan, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before booking. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are 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.
