Khadine Harrow - Wellness Care Nurse Practitioner, Pllc
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual • New York, NY
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.
My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.
I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.
At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.
I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
I am a dual certified provider with over 17 years of prescribing experience. My primary care background allows me to carefully consider co-existing conditions in managing your care. Maybe you cannot see a way forward because you are not feeling your best. My goal is to help facilitate treatment to help you improve your mood and provide symptom relief.
I also have same-day appointments that work within your schedule to make mental health care easy and accessible.

I work with adults and adolescents navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, and other mood-related concerns who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.
My background in healthcare gives me a well-rounded perspective. I take a holistic approach, recognizing the close connection between mental and physical health. I’m known for being collaborative, non-judgmental, and thorough, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your care.
Hi there! I’m Jeff, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with roots in Med-Surg, Telemetry, and Psychiatric nursing. My journey in healthcare began at the bedside, supporting patients and families through some of their toughest days—an experience that shaped my deeply human, no-judgment approach to mental health care. I’m trained through an accredited PMHNP program and now provide thoughtful, evidence-based care that includes psychiatric evaluations, therapy support, and medication management. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, mood changes, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to listen, support, and help you find real, lasting solutions. Let’s work together to create a plan that fits your life and goals.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming — whether it’s anxiety, ADHD, school stress, or simply navigating life's ups and downs.

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 Yonkers
Finding psychiatrists in Yonkers starts with understanding the type of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage prescriptions over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid entry points, depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
In Yonkers, your search may include nearby offices around Getty Square, Nodine Hill, Larkspur, and other parts of lower Westchester. You may also consider virtual psychiatry appointments if your schedule, commute, or local office availability makes that a better fit. Psychiatry appointments for medication management 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. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and care structure.
Psychiatric care in Yonkers 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, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and many take insurance, making it easier to 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.
