Empowering Resources

Both psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can diagnose mental health conditions, order and interpret labs, prescribe medications, and provide treatment. In outpatient settings, PMHNPs offer nearly identical services to psychiatrists and often bring a more holistic, collaborative approach to care.

No referral is needed. You can book your phone consultation and your intake appointment directly. We welcome new patients who are self-referred, or referred by therapists or any other providers. 

We provide psychiatric care for adults with: 

• Depression and other mood disorders 
  
• Anxiety and panic disorders 
  
• Sleep disorders 
  
• Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders

If your symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, or trouble focusing, are interfering with daily life, it may be time to consider medication. During your evaluation, we’ll discuss options and create a plan that fits your needs and comfort level.

We accept all commercial Aetna, Anthem BCBS, CIgna &Optum/UMR/UHC/Oxford plans. 

We can also help you understand and use your out-of-network benefits. Please contact us to verify coverage or explore payment options.

You may also call or text (631) 364-2647, or email us at info@mindovermatterpsych.com. 

New patient consultations are usually available within 1–2 weeks.

Your initial visit includes a comprehensive evaluation of your current symptoms, your mental health history, medical and family history, as well as treatment plan options. You’ll have time to ask questions, and together we’ll decide on the best course of action, whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, and/or lifestyle recommendations.  

Most patients begin with bi-weekly follow-ups to assess symptom control and monitor for possible side effects while making medication adjustments. Once your symptoms are stable, depending on your needs, appointments will likely be spaced out over time. We’ll create your follow-up schedule together.

*Appointments will be no less frequent than every two months. 

*For all patients on controlled substances (i.e. Klonopin, Vyvanse, etc.) appointments will be no less frequent than monthly.

Absolutely. With your (written and signed) consent, we’re happy to collaborate with your therapist or physician to ensure your care is continuous and comprehensive.
