“I had a video visit which was excellent for me because I have difficulty moving around. NP Joyce was great. I am recommending her to my friends in the disability community that can’t go to an office for a regular visit. A bonus was that I don’t have to wait long for the visit. ”

Getting to know Autumn Joyce

Hi, I'm Autumn. If you've been feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, or emotions that feel hard to manage, I'm glad you're here. Reaching out takes courage, and you deserve care that feels supportive, not overwhelming. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 17 years of experience in health care. I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management by video for adults across New York State, so you can get care from the comfort of home, with no commute and no waiting room. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adjustment difficulties, and other mood and mental health concerns. Wherever you're starting from, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. A quick note on insurance: I accept straight New York Medicaid and EmblemHealth Medicaid. I'm not able to see patients with other Medicaid managed-care plans, such as Anthem, Healthfirst, or Aetna, so please check that your plan is accepted before booking.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You don't need to have everything figured out before your first visit. Come as you are, and we'll sort through it together. I'll listen closely, answer your questions in plain language, and make decisions about your treatment with you, never for you. As a nurse, I care about the whole you, not just a list of symptoms. That means we'll also talk about your sleep, stress, physical health, and daily life, because they all shape how you feel. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based care, and my goal is for you to leave each visit feeling heard and a little more hopeful.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, and it's really a conversation. We'll talk about what brings you in, your mental and physical health history, what you've tried before and how it went, and what you'd like to feel different. Then I'll share my thoughts, and we'll decide on a plan together. That might include starting or adjusting medication, therapy recommendations, or practical sleep and lifestyle strategies. Follow-up visits are shorter and focus on you: what's getting better, any side effects, and whether anything needs to change. We'll meet more often at first while we find what works, then space visits out as you start feeling steadier. Questions and concerns are always welcome, and if you ever need support beyond what I offer, I'll help connect you with the right care.

    More information on payments and coverage

    1. Insurance Acceptance: I accept both insurance and self-pay. This flexibility allows you to choose the option that best suits your situation. 2. Insurance Verification: Before your first appointment, I verify your insurance benefits to confirm whether I am in-network and to determine what services are covered under your plan, along with any applicable copays, deductibles, or prior authorization requirements. At this time, I accept Straight Medicaid and Emblem Medicaid only. I do not accept other Managed Medicaid plans (for example: Anthem Medicaid, Aetna Medicaid, Cigna Medicaid, etc.). 3. Processing Payments: If you choose to use insurance, there may be a copayment or deductible, depending on your plan. If you prefer to pay cash, I will provide clear information on the fees associated with the services rendered. 4. Assistance: If you have questions about your coverage or need help navigating the insurance process, I’m here to assist you. Just let me know, and I can provide guidance.

    I had a video visit which was excellent for me because I have difficulty moving around. NP Joyce was great. I am recommending her to my friends in the disability community that can’t go to an office for a regular visit. A bonus was that I don’t have to wait long for the visit.
    It was really good to NP Joyce, she’s very polite and professional. I feel like she genuinely listed to my concerns and had good insightful feedback. Best part is how easy it was to do online. Until next time.
    I am quite a busy person and sometimes it’s hard to focus on myself. I needed this visit because life seemed to be hitting me hard. I am looking forward to continue care with Ms. Joyce. I was treated with respect during my visit. It’s time to focus on ME!!!!
    I found it easy to communicate my situation. It takes time to build trust especially when seeing someone new but I felt comfortable.
