Getting to know Joanna Sharp
Hi, my name is Joanna, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based in New York. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness, depression, life transitions, maternal mental health (pre/postpartum), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, race and cultural identity, religion and spirituality, stress management, and women’s issues.
With over 12 years of nursing experience and advanced psychiatric training from Frontier Nursing University, I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, safe, and compassionate environment for every individual. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and am dedicated to helping you find balance, healing, and peace. I’m passionate about destigmatizing mental healthcare, and together with my colleagues at Lavender Psychiatry, I’m on a mission to create a world where feelings are felt, respected, and cared for.
I understand that seeking help is a big step, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey to better mental well-being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
PLEASE NOTE, I’M IN-NETWORK WITH AETNA, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HORIZON NJ, CIGNA, OSCAR, OXFORD, QUEST BEHAVIORAL, AND UNITED HEALTHCARE. I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICARE OR MEDICAID.
My style is warm, engaging, and personable. I value forming a strong alliance with each client, and collaborating on all treatment decision-making. 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.
Starting treatment can be a scary and intimidating process, I’ve successfully treated many people who are new to psychiatric care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Booking process:
Request your appointment time on Zocdoc. My office will email you an online intake form to ensure I’m able to help you.
If we’re a fit, we’ll reach out to confirm an appointment time. I try my best to 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.
