Getting to know Sarah Malatesta
I am Sarah, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing telehealth psychiatric care and medication management. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and substance use disorders, with experience supporting clients with both straightforward and more complex psychiatric needs.
My clinical background includes outpatient telehealth psychiatry, inpatient child psychiatry, addiction treatment, and pediatric neuropsychiatry/rehabilitation. This diverse experience allows me to support patients across different levels of acuity, from those beginning treatment to those managing chronic or complex mental health conditions.
I provide evidence-based, individualized care that integrates medication management with supportive therapy techniques, focusing on stability, symptom reduction, and long-term improvement.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer a supportive, structured, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable discussing your mental health concerns. I take a collaborative and straightforward approach, combining clinical expertise with clear communication and education so you understand your treatment options. Together, we build a plan that aligns with your goals and supports both immediate relief and long-term stability.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation via telehealth to understand your symptoms, history, and treatment goals. From there, I develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management and supportive therapeutic strategies. Follow-up visits focus on tracking progress, adjusting medications when needed, and reinforcing coping tools to support sustained improvement.
