Understanding Your Issues:
I understand that every individual is unique, and your concerns are as individual as you are. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression.
I am approachable and I like to provide a safe space.
I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of healthcare experience caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I earned my BSN from Nova Southeastern University, MSN-FNP from the University of South Alabama, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Florida, and Post-Master's PMHNP certificate from Wilkes University.
My background includes intensive care, family medicine, urgent care, oncology, thoracic surgery, correctional healthcare, and outpatient psychiatry. This diverse experience allows me to understand the connection between physical and mental health while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
I specialize in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, stress and burnout, adjustment disorders, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, women's mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, caregiver stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
My approach is collaborative, holistic, and individualized. I combine medication management with evidence-based therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Hi, I'm Ruthellen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 28 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Mental health has always been personal to me — watching my own family navigate those struggles is what called me into this work, and giving back to my community is what keeps me going. Outside of the office, you'll find me cheering on my favorite teams or staying active, because I truly believe movement and joy are part of the whole picture.
I’m a board certified psychiatrist who places a high value on both psychotherapy and evidence-based medication management. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care for individuals experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and PTSD, and ADHD.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Manhasset, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Manhasset starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support through structured sessions. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and adjusting the care plan when appropriate. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care focus before booking.
In a smaller community like Manhasset, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York, which can make virtual appointments a practical way to expand your search. Psychiatric appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Manhasset can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who may accept your insurance and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and see available options in Manhasset. You can add your insurance details, see estimated costs before booking, review psychiatrist profiles, 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.
