I want you to feel comfortable and understood from the very first conversation we have. My work centers on helping people manage anxiety, lift the weight of depression, and find steady footing in recovery from addiction. I see care as something we build together, not something done to you, so your voice shapes every step of the plan.

I bring warmth, encouragement, and a genuine belief that change is possible, and I am glad you are here.
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.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and person‐centered care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges. My training includes a general psychiatry residency in New Jersey and an advanced Addiction Psychiatry/NIDA‐T32 Research Fellowship at Columbia University in New York City, where I received specialized experience in the treatment of substance use disorders, comorbidity, and academic research.
I am approachable and I like to provide a safe space.
Reaching out for support is one of the bravest things you can do — and I'm honored to be part of your journey. I work with individuals living with anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. I believe every person carries their own resilience, and my role is to help you access it. My practice is built on trust, warmth, and a deep commitment to your growth. I show up for my clients with honesty and the genuine conviction that meaningful change is always within reach
I am very dedicated to providing quality service to patients in my care and actively listening to their concerns
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
- I listen first
- I believe in collaboration
- I treat the whole person
- Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
- There is no shame in seeking help.
- Progress is possible.
Greetings & welcome. As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer brief therapy & medication management to adolescents & adults. Medication is not the best fit for everyone & together we can find your path.

What uniquely informs my psychiatric practice is my foundational background in pediatric neurology.

Frequently asked questions
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 Fulton
Finding psychiatrists in Fulton starts with understanding the kind of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on similar concerns in a different way. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.
In a smaller city like Fulton, local psychiatric appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can help expand your options across New York. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes availability, scheduling flexibility, and appointment format important to compare. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios before booking can help you understand how they structure appointments, what concerns they focus on, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Fulton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can review profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, 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.
