Dr. Yasminda Downer-Muse
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Dobbs Ferry, NY
I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.
I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.
I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQAI and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.
I am a Board-Certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of experience as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported.
I offer medication management along with supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and guidance on lifestyle changes to promote overall mental wellness.
My goal is to help you achieve stability, build resilience, and improve your quality of life. I look forward to working with you on your mental health journey.
With a background in behavioral health administration and years of experience leading programs for adults navigating serious mental health challenges, I bring a deep, practical understanding of how care works and what people truly need. My private practice centers on a niche I care about deeply: adolescents, young adults, and college students navigating anxiety, depression, and the challenges of growing up and moving forward. I offer telehealth sessions in the evenings and on weekends, so support fits into your life, not the other way around.
Down to earth and very open minded. I believe in complete transparency and accountability.
My name is Linda Nwahiri, I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have vast experience as a nurse and APRN with over 12 years of experience in chronic disease and complex care management. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through medication management and supportive therapy. I take time to listen to your story, answer your questions, and ensure you feel like an active partner in your care. I believe treatment works best when it's personalized and collaborative.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but also to help you build resilience, regain confidence, and improve your overall quality of life. Whether you're seeking care for the first time or returning after previous treatment, you'll be welcomed with compassion, respect, and without judgment.
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey toward better mental health and well-being.

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 Woodbury
Finding psychiatrists in Woodbury starts with knowing which kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, clinical background, and care approach match what you want support with.
In a smaller community like Woodbury, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas, and virtual appointments can give you more choices. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s profile for availability, appointment format, specialties, and communication style, so you can choose someone who fits your schedule and preferences.
Psychiatric care in Woodbury can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs before booking, compare 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.
