Hi, I'm Dionne, a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management, and cultural and ethnic issues. I work primarily with adults and seniors, and I believe that the foundation of good care starts with truly being heard. From our very first appointment, my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, respected, and understood - no matter what you're walking in with.
Hello,
I am Dr. Tameka White, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of experience caring for adults with complex medical and mental health conditions.
Many of my clients have spent years putting everyone else first before finally seeking help for themselves. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, emotional inheritance, and or caregiver role strain caring for individuals affected by HIV, I strive to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and never judged.
My background includes critical care and HIV management, allowing me to understand the close relationship between physical health and emotional well-being.
I have a special interest in caring for men's health, professionals, caregivers, and adults from diverse communities, including Black, Caribbean, Asian, and other diaspora communities.
Your mind and body are speaking—are you listening? As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in high-stakes intensive care, I understand what many overlook: mental and physical health are inseparable.
In critical care, I saw how stress, trauma, and anxiety manifest in the body—tight chests, sleepless nights, unexplained pain. And when the pandemic hit, I witnessed the silent emotional suffering of patients, families, and healthcare workers alike. That moment changed everything.
I chose psychiatry because healing your mind is just as vital as healing your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like no one sees what you’re carrying—you don’t have to hold it alone. I’m here to help you reconnect, restore, and rise.

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 Psychiatrist in New York
Searching for psychiatrists in New York starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication needs. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may work with you alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reviewing each psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address. Across New York, available care can vary between urban and rural areas, so a clear sense of your needs can make the search easier.
Practical fit matters, too. A psychiatrist in New York, NY may offer different scheduling options than a psychiatrist in Buffalo, Albany, or other parts of upstate New York. Consider whether you prefer in-person appointments near you or virtual visits that fit more easily into your schedule. Psychiatry visits for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details about appointment structure, communication style, available times, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in New York 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. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see whether a psychiatrist is in network and view an estimated cost before booking. Headway shows psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and can be booked 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.
