Getting to know Jennifer Klimek-Yingling
Hello, my name is Jennifer Klimek-Yingling, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in New York. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Burnout, Chronic Illness, Family Issues, Depression, College & Graduate Student Mental Health, Insomnia & Sleep Disorders, Loss, Grief & Bereavement, Stress Management, and Women’s Health. With 27 years of nursing experience, I completed my psychiatric training at the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute.
I am deeply committed to destigmatizing mental healthcare, and alongside my colleagues at Lavender Psychiatry, I strive to create a compassionate environment where emotions are acknowledged, respected, and supported.

I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and many different walks of life, including students, parents, professionals, trades, service industry, retail, entrepreneurs, creatives and tech experts.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Booking Process:
My office will email you a self-assessment to ensure I’m able to help you.
If we’re a fit, we’ll reach out to confirm a new appointment time.I always keep slots available each week for new clients.
Your First Visit:
The initial session is a comprehensive, one-hour evaluation which allows me to understand your current symptoms and difficulties, and learn about important aspects of your past psychiatric, medical, social, educational, and family histories. At the end of the session, we’ll determine the best treatment course. Session frequency ranges from weekly to monthly depending on the type of treatment you’re looking for.
If you’re already seeing a therapist, I’m happy to collaborate with them while guiding the medication aspect of your treatment. However, many of my clients see me for both therapy and medication management.
My practice, Lavender Psychiatry, is founded and fueled by board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners who create therapeutic journeys that are kind, convenient and transparent so that people can flourish. We have a fantastic team that works together to ensure our clients are well taken care of. This includes our care concierge team who is available 7 days a week between your appointments, to help answer questions and assist with any issues regarding coverage and prescriptions etc. We also have covering providers in case I’m away and an urgent matter arises. I look forward to meeting you and helping you in your journey to a brighter future!

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
If you use your insurance with us, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has.

It was alright for the first day with all the intake questions but the outcome was not as desirable as I had hoped. I feel like I do understand the rational behind the decisions and realized other steps I could have taken to reduce the negative outcome I felt but it is what it is after the fact. I am willing to give it another go and see where we land tomorrow.
