LGBT therapists in 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.

It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

I specialize in attachment and developmental trauma, childhood/adulthood sexual abuse and domestic violence. I also have experience working with identity and sexuality, self-esteem, relationship conflicts, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I will help you to embody your emotional experience in order to feel relief and enhance personal growth.

My work has a psychodynamic framework with frequent use of Somatic Experiencing®, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. Please reach out for a free consultation. I welcome the opportunity to connect and look forward to hearing from you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and New York. I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University and have been practicing for over 10 years. My experience includes helping children and young adults struggling with their emotions and relationships to find their strengths, accomplish their goals, manage their emotions, and helping them build a support system.

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.

Throughout my professional journey, I have worked in diverse settings such as correctional facilities, court systems, schools, and community mental health centers. These experiences have provided me with extensive insight into the challenges faced by individuals affected by the criminal legal system and have reinforced my commitment to abolitionist practices.

Hi, I’m Jenenea! I’m glad you’re here. Taking this step already shows your strength. I work with children as young as 6, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life’s harder transitions. What often brings someone to therapy is not just what’s happening inside them, but what’s happening in their relationships and family life. My approach blends practical tools with genuine warmth, creating a space that feels safe and judgment-free. You deserve to feel steady, supported, and truly seen, and I’d be honored to help you get there.
