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.

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 Staten Island
Finding psychiatrists in Staten Island starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication; therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes an evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your clinician. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and related concerns. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and care approach match what you want support with.
Local psychiatry options in Staten Island may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City, so virtual appointments can help expand your search while keeping care covered through your plan. Consider practical fit alongside clinical fit, including appointment times, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a psychiatrist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Staten Island can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, check virtual and in-person 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.
