Arelys Itwaru

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bay Shore, NY


Hi, I’m Arelys! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for people from all walks of life, across different ages, cultures, backgrounds, and circumstances. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach mental health care: with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that there is always more to a person than what brings them into the room.

I work with adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and the challenges and transitions that life can bring.

I chose to specialize in mental health because I believe meaningful care begins with truly getting to know the person in front of me. Your symptoms matter, but so do the experiences, relationships, stressors, strengths, and circumstances that shape them. I want our time together to be a space where you feel comfortable being honest, where your concerns are heard, and where you never feel like you have to fit into a one-size-fits-all approach.

My goal is to build a genuine, collaborative relationship and create a treatment plan that makes sense for you—one that supports not only symptom improvement, but your ability to feel more like yourself and move forward with confidence.

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 Elmira

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.
