My Practice Philosophy & Approach to Treatment I believe that effective psychiatric care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms. Every individual has unique experiences, challenges, and goals, and I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized treatment in an environment where patients feel heard, respected, and supported. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), my clinical background includes consultation-liaison psychiatry and outpatient psychiatric care. These experiences have shaped my approach to treating mental health conditions by considering not only psychiatric symptoms but also physical health, lifestyle, relationships, and overall well-being. At Affective Mind Psychiatry, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, mood disorders, insomnia, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns. My treatment philosophy emphasizes collaboration, patient education, and shared decision-making. I believe patients should play an active role in their treatment. During appointments, I take the time to listen, conduct comprehensive evaluations, discuss treatment options, and develop personalized care plans that align with each patient's needs and goals. While medication management is an important part of my practice, I recognize that medication alone is not always the answer. I take a thoughtful approach to prescribing, carefully weighing potential benefits, risks, and individual preferences. When appropriate, I encourage psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. Whether you are seeking psychiatric treatment for the first time, exploring a possible diagnosis, or looking to optimize your current treatment, my goal is to help you achieve meaningful improvements in your mental health and daily functioning. I provide virtual psychiatric care to adults throughout New York State, with an emphasis on accessibility, continuity of care, and building trusting therapeutic relationships. I understand that seeking psychiatric care can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from our first conversation.

Excellent listener. I felt very comfortable speaking to him

There was an hour of questions about my childhood 30 years ago. There should have been questions relevant to adhd today. I got no indication of weather I have adhd and no feedback about weather I could benefit from medication. He judged me as a stay at home mom like I don’t need medicine if I’m not working. It felt like a scam to get 3 more appointments out of me. He kept typing and reading repetitive questions from a script. Felt really impersonal and not helpful to my real life concerns and issues.

Really great experience

A perfectly adept physician that I'm sure is great for male clients; he was inconsistent with how he referred to me as a gender-diverse client, which would prevent me from booking further appointments.

While Andrew was kind and pleasant to talk to, I felt that he didn’t hear fully what I was saying to him and latched onto one aspect of all of my symptoms. He also did not take into account my medical diagnoses and was not truthful in the medication he was prescribing. It wasn’t until I met with another clinician that I learned the medication was not an SSRI as he had stated.

I signed up for a specific doctor and was given someone else. I saw in the reviews that the same exact thing had happened to someone else. so it wasn't a coincidence but a common practice. The nurse I got lacked in experience and did a poor job of communicating. I spent 36 hours getting information for this new nurse which included asking other doctors for their time only to find out at the next meeting that the nurse had changed his mind and the information was not needed at all. The nurse mentioned my age so often I almost, and should have, directly accused him of age discrimination. I see that this nurse has gotten some good reviews and they must be from a different age group. May he gather more experience, sensitivity, and wisdom as his career continues.
