Gertrude Osei

Gertrude Osei

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


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.

Cherie Hannouche

Cherie Hannouche

Therapist

Virtual • Brooklyn, NY


I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.

Find the right therapist 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 an Anxiety Therapist in Elmira, NY

Searching for therapists in Elmira starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approaches match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a smaller city like Elmira, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger New York markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Elmira can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
