“Mrs. Sheena Richardson was absolutely AMAZING, she actively listened and heard me and my concerns, she empathize with what I am going through and provided me what light bulb moments - she opened my eyes to reality of issues I am dealing with without judgment. I felt safe speaking to her, and comfortable talking about issues that have been weighing me down. She also included my spirituality which is extremely important yo me in this journey. I am completely happy with Therapist!! Excited for my next visit! Thank you Sheena!!”

Getting to know Sheena Richardson

Hi, my name is Sheena, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients in New York. I provide compassionate, individualized support for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger management, bipolar disorder, family challenges, sleep issues, life transitions, grief and loss, maternal mental health (pre/postpartum), OCD, PTSD, and relationship concerns. My areas of special focus also include ADHD, women’s mental health, race and cultural identity, religion and spirituality, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and stress management. With over 15 years of nursing experience and psychiatric training from the University of Cincinnati, I’m committed to helping each person feel understood, empowered, and supported. 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.

What should a new client know about working with you?

PLEASE NOTE, I’M IN-NETWORK WITH AETNA, ANTHEM NY, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, CDPHP, CIGNA, MEDICARE, OSCAR, OXFORD, AND UNITED HEALTHCARE. I DO NOT ACCEPT 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: 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.
