Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of healthcare experience, providing telehealth psychiatry and virtual care to patients across New York. My strong medical background helps me recognize the vital link between

mental and physical health, allowing me to deliver thoughtful, integrated psychiatry services rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

I focus on medication management for anxiety and depression, along with adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma and PTSD management, using thorough psychiatric assessments, medication management, and supportive therapy for stress, burnout, and mood disorders. I also have particular experience in women’s mental health,

including postpartum depression and the concerns that often go unaddressed in general psychiatric care.

My aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it’s collaborative and personalized

I work closely with each client to develop a tailored

treatment plan that promotes emotional well-being, stability, and an improved quality of life.

All appointments are conducted through secure virtual care, and I accept insurance through Headway, so cost is rarely a barrier to getting started.

Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Syracuse, NY

Finding postpartum therapists in Syracuse starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and after birth.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, the number of local in-person options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while making it easier to fit care around infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that match your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who match your needs, lets you check insurance coverage for your specific plan and location, and offers upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
