I am an internist and board-certified psychiatrist with several years of experience working with mentally ill patients and individuals in various phases of substance addiction. My decision to enter the field of psychiatry stemmed from clinical curiosity; while living in New York City, I became fascinated with addiction and wondered why some people develop substance addictions while others do not. After training in internal medicine, I continued specialized residency training in psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Following my residency, I pursued further training in addiction and obesity medicine. Additionally, I have a strong academic background in geriatric mental health research.
I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring. I strive for patient focused care and manage symptoms with medications that you feel comfortable taking. You set the pace of your treatment. I believe in informed and collaborative decision making.
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
- I listen first
- I believe in collaboration

I'm Sandra Sarro, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience caring for individuals and families across a variety of mental health settings. Throughout my career in emergency psychiatry, inpatient care, medical units, and private practice, I've learned that every person's story is unique. My goal is to provide care that is compassionate, sincere, and nonjudgmental, so you always feel heard and supported. I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and families experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, insomnia, behavioral and school-related concerns, anger management, and life transitions.
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.
I have 8 years of nursing experience working with children as young as 6 years and older across inpatient and outpatient settings. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar and psychotic disorders are some of the areas I have expertise in.
I graduated from Hofstra University Nurse Practitioner Program and was recognized for The Academic Excellence Award for outstanding clinical and academic performance.
I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jamestown
Finding psychiatrists in Jamestown starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. If you want support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be part of your care. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Jamestown, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in New York. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, review availability, appointment format, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how each bio describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Jamestown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, many of whom take your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare bios, see available appointment times, 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.
