I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with more than 10 years of experience caring for adult patients across a variety of healthcare settings. Throughout my career in adult primary care, I developed a deep appreciation for the emotional and mental health challenges that often accompany physical illness, major life changes, and everyday stressors. This inspired me to pursue a second specialty certification in psychiatric mental health.

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 Smithtown
Finding the right psychiatrist in Smithtown starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Smithtown has a smaller local market than nearby New York City, so virtual appointments can help expand your options while keeping care connected to your schedule. Medication management visits are usually 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 psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, visit format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how each psychiatrist explains their approach and what to expect from the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Smithtown can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand your price before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, 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.
