Getting to know Joanna Sainvil
Hello, I’m Joanna Sainvil, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate care to individuals across all stages of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I bring experience from inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care settings, which has shaped my ability to support patients through both acute challenges and ongoing mental health needs.
I completed my graduate training in nursing at Lehman College, CUNY, and also hold training as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the University at Buffalo. Over the past several years, I’ve worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, behavioral challenges, and addiction.
My approach is both holistic and solution-focused. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life, including your environment, stressors, relationships, and personal goals. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive, therapy-informed care to create a balanced and effective treatment experience. I am especially passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with my patients so they feel empowered, supported, and actively involved in their care. My goal is to help you not only feel better, but also develop the clarity and tools needed for long-term emotional well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Reaching out for mental health support can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. When we work together, you can expect a welcoming, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and understood.
I take a collaborative approach to care, which means your voice, preferences, and goals are always central to our work. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being open about your experiences without fear of pressure or judgment. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or continuing your journey, I will meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you.
My style is warm, supportive, and practical. I focus on helping you gain insight, build coping strategies, and feel more in control of your mental health in a way that fits your life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin with a comprehensive initial evaluation where I take the time to understand your history, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve through care. This conversation allows us to build a clear, personalized understanding of your needs.
From there, we create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This may include medication management, supportive therapy, and lifestyle recommendations, depending on your preferences and goals. I believe in a holistic approach that addresses both immediate symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to them.
As we continue working together, we will have regular follow-up sessions to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure your treatment remains aligned with how you are feeling. I emphasize open communication throughout the process so your care can evolve in a way that truly supports your growth and long-term well-being.

I saw the availability today and I booked it and I didn’t even know how to speak to the care provider. I don’t even know how to join the online session.. why it’s showing that it’s available online when it’s not I wanna make sure that I’m not gonna be charged because I was asked to put in my Health Insurance and they did not get any consultation at all.
