I earned my bachelor's in Psychology at Smith College and my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rowan University. I believe in tailoring my clients' experience to their likes and needs. I enjoy creative therapy, ACT, manifestations, physical activity, CBT, and strength-based approaches to help individuals reach their full potential.


I am a wife and mother and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy using creative outlets to help make therapy a fully integrated experience.

I trained at a state psychiatric hospital in New Jersey, where I built deep expertise caring for people across the full range of psychiatric conditions. Now in my own private practice, I focus on general psychiatry and ADHD across all ages.

I create a warm, welcoming space where your voice is truly honored and your feelings are valued. With empathy, compassion, and lightness when needed, I walk beside you as you build confidence, embrace healing, and discover new ways to move forward.

My journey into this work is deeply personal. My own experience with therapy had a profound and transformative impact on my life and ultimately inspired me to pursue this career. I experienced firsthand what it means to have someone support and guide you through difficult moments, and I wanted the opportunity to provide that same compassion and support to others. I know the courage it takes to begin, which is why I create a safe, judgment-free space where your story is respected and your healing is supported.

Guided by empathy, honesty, and openness, I blend compassion with practical guidance to help you navigate challenges with confidence. And when appropriate, I bring humor and lightness into the process—because growth can be meaningful while still feeling human. You may even see my dog-daughter, Gingerbread, make a surprise appearance!

Here, you’ll find a space that is real, supportive, and judgment-free, where your feelings are valued and your story matters.

Together, we’ll face challenges honestly, with compassion and even laughter, as you move toward healing and growth.

I’m so very proud of you for taking this step💕

Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression is exhausting — especially when you're trying to hold everything together at the same time. You deserve a provider who meets you where you are and builds a plan that actually moves you forward.I'm Zinny Ezete, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric care for teenagers and adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression.

I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients.
