Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ilion, NY


I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.

Angela David

Angela David

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello, I'm Ronda, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in working with immigrant and first-generation adults navigating family dynamics, personal growth, and emotional wellness in New York City.

My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, etc, to help clients process difficult experiences, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear successful outwardly while internally struggling with worry, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved childhood experiences. Therapy with me provides a space to gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, emotionally balanced, and empowered in their daily lives.
