Have you been let down by the mental health system? If you've been rushed through appointments, given quick diagnoses, or told your labs are "fine" when you know something is off, I want you to know you're not alone—and you're in the right place. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I created my practice for individuals like you who are ready to move beyond symptom-chasing and find a clear, root-cause understanding of their mental health.
I am a doctorally prepared, certified Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry and Family Health
I’m Isaiah Crum, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist in New York City. I work with Black professionals who are excelling on paper and quietly struggling underneath. People navigating predominantly white spaces, carrying the weight of high achievement, and rarely getting room to not be okay.
I know that experience firsthand. I built this practice because you deserve psychiatric care that understands your life, not just your symptoms.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Utica
Finding psychiatrists in Utica starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare profiles, look for training, listed specialties, and experience that match what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Utica, the number of local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping access practical around work, school, or caregiving schedules. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for appointment availability, care focus, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Utica 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 search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, enter your insurance details, and see estimated costs before booking. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway helps you check your coverage details so you can review bios 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.
