My name is Marie. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Walden University I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Poughkeepsie
Finding psychiatrists in Poughkeepsie starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their training matches what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Poughkeepsie, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual appointments can expand your options across New York. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on the type of care they’re seeking. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person care, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Provider bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they commonly support, and what to expect from the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Poughkeepsie 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan, then shows your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse psychiatrists in Poughkeepsie, review bios, compare availability, 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.
