Getting to know Minna Navvab
My ideal client is someone navigating everyday life who may be experiencing anxiety and depression. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when mental health concerns become overbearing. I enjoy helping clients explore these feelings and find solutions to overcome their challenges. Clients may experience symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, persistent sadness, constant worrying, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, or a lack of interest in activities they once enjoyed. Together, we can address these issues by setting realistic goals and managing medication.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Adelphi University, I am comfortable helping clients find the right medication and providing supportive therapy for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. I also hold a Master's in Nurse Midwifery and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. As a mixed-race provider with a strong background in women's health care, I am passionate about helping clients feel empowered.
As a client, you can expect evidence-based care delivered in an engaging, light-hearted, and supportive environment. I will listen carefully to what you express, and together we will create a plan that makes the therapeutic process approachable and less intimidating.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is excited to start working with new clients. I specialize in medication management for a wide variety of mental health concerns. Many of the clients that I work with identify as LBGTQAI+. I enjoy working with this unique population of people. I provider medication management along with advocacy letters for gender affirming care, if someone qualifies for these services. I also treat women for specific concerns related to anxiety, depression, PTSD and PMDD. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and hope to help with their concerns related to mental health.
Generally, I most often treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder and PMDD.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I request clients to describe what services they are interested in. Then, make sure your insurance is in-network, fill out paperwork and schedule you for an initial appointment. I will do an in-depth interview to see what your concerns are and what management you're interested in and also your psychiatric and medical history. Then, we can continue to do follow-up appts.
I often use supportive therapy and motivational interviewing to help my clients reach their mental health goals. Mostly, I focus on medication management. I help clients find medications that assist with their mental health concerns and relieve their symptoms.

This professional came into my life at a time when I needed some help, but didn’t want it to be a whole huge thing. She immediately put me at ease with her smile and energy, and I feel like she truly wants to help and not pass judgement. I’ve also had some weird scheduling stuff, my insurance sent me to the wrong pharmacy, and she has come to my aid every time. Highly recommend, and am glad I don’t have to keep shopping around.

I am writing this review of the great experience I had with Minna. She was kind, non-judgemental and let me give input into my care.
Sometimes mental health can be a difficult topic to speak about, but I’m glad I found the right provider for me! I am finally getting medication management that I can trust.
She was easy to book with and also accepted my insurance. I am glad that I made an appointment and can continue forward on my mental health journey in good hands.

I had the privilege of being treated by an extraordinary Ms. Minna Navvab, during one of the most challenging periods of my life. After the birth of my child, I was diagnosed with postpartum depression. I was in a state of emotional turmoil, feeling lost and unsure. From our very first interaction, she exhibited the utmost compassion and understanding. She took the time to listen to me, giving me the space to express my feelings without any judgment. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of psychiatry and women’s health were evident. Beyond her professional capabilities, it was her empathy and kindness that truly set her apart. She was always patient, taking the time to reassure me, provide comfort, and help me understand the complexities of postpartum depression. Her warmth and kindness were a beacon of light during a dark time, and for that, I cannot recommend Ms. Navvab highly enough. Her compassionate and understanding approach was instrumental in my journey towards recovery.

It's so hard to find a Provider that really listens and feels like they "get you", but I felt comfortable with her right away and am already looking forward to implement some of the things we talked about in our session.
