Psychiatric Care from Anywhere in New York

New York is a vast state with wildly different healthcare landscapes. Telehealth bridges the gap — connecting you to quality psychiatric care whether you are in a Manhattan high-rise or a farmhouse in the Finger Lakes.

All Five Boroughs & Beyond

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, Capital District, Central New York, Western New York — your location in the state does not limit your care. If you are physically in New York, you can see us.

Secure & Private Sessions

Every appointment uses HIPAA-compliant video technology. In a city where privacy can feel impossible, telehealth gives you a genuinely private space for your care — no crowded waiting rooms, no subway rides to a clinic.

NY State Licensed

Zinny Ezete, APRN, PMHNP-BC holds an active nurse practitioner license issued by the New York State Education Department, authorizing her to provide psychiatric care to patients throughout the state.

Services Available to New York Residents

Comprehensive psychiatric and mental health services for adults and adolescents ages 13–17 throughout the Empire State, delivered entirely via telehealth.

ADHD Evaluations

Thorough diagnostic evaluations using clinical interviews and standardized assessments to determine whether you meet criteria for ADHD. New York's fast-paced culture can mask ADHD symptoms for years — many adults discover they have been compensating for undiagnosed ADHD their entire careers. A proper evaluation brings clarity and opens the door to effective treatment.

Anxiety Treatment

Evidence-based treatment for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, and performance anxiety. Living in New York — particularly in the city — comes with unique stressors: financial pressure, career competition, sensory overload, and social demands. Treatment is designed around the realities of your environment, not a textbook.

Depression Care

Personalized care for major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, postpartum mood changes, and seasonal depression. New York's long winters and high cost of living can compound depressive episodes. Treatment addresses both the clinical condition and the life circumstances surrounding it.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one psychotherapy sessions tailored to your needs. Whether you are navigating a career transition in Midtown, processing a relationship change on Long Island, or dealing with burnout in any part of the state, therapy provides a structured, confidential space to work through challenges.

Medication Management

Regular follow-up appointments to monitor treatment response, adjust medication dosages, and manage side effects. For New York patients juggling demanding schedules, telehealth follow-ups mean no time lost commuting to an office — a 20-minute med check does not have to cost you half a workday.

Psychiatric Evaluations

Comprehensive initial psychiatric assessments for new patients. Includes a thorough clinical interview, symptom assessment, medical and psychiatric history review, and collaborative development of a treatment plan. This 60-minute evaluation is the foundation for all subsequent care.

Why New York Patients Choose Telehealth

New York patients have specific reasons for preferring virtual psychiatric care — and they go beyond convenience.

Reclaim Your Time

In New York City, traveling to an in-person appointment can easily consume 90 minutes round trip between subway delays, walking, and waiting. Upstate, the drive to the nearest psychiatrist may be 45 minutes each way. Telehealth gives you that time back — your appointment fits into a break, not your entire afternoon.

Faster Access Than In-Person

The demand for psychiatric providers in New York far outpaces supply. In NYC, new patient wait times of 6 to 12 weeks are common. In rural Upstate regions, psychiatric providers may be nearly nonexistent. Our telehealth model offers same-week appointments regardless of where in New York you are located.

Continuity Across the State

If you split time between a Manhattan apartment and a Westchester or Long Island home, or if you travel frequently within New York for work, telehealth means you never have to reschedule because of location. As long as you are in New York State, your appointment happens as planned.

True Privacy in a Crowded City

New York is a place where you can run into anyone, anywhere. Many patients value the complete privacy of a telehealth appointment — no chance encounter in a building lobby or waiting room. Your mental health care stays between you and your provider.

Insurance Accepted in New York

We accept most major insurance plans used by New York residents. NY law requires telehealth parity for behavioral health services.

Aetna Cigna BlueCross BlueShield UnitedHealthcare Oxford Oscar Anthem Humana Emblem Health Carelon Medicare Advantage

New York State requires health insurers to cover telehealth services at parity with in-person visits for behavioral health. This means your copay, deductible, and coinsurance for a telehealth psychiatric visit should match an in-office appointment. Emblem Health, Oxford, and Oscar are particularly common among NYC-area employer plans and NY State of Health marketplace plans. Insurance is verified at the time of booking.

New York Telehealth Psychiatry FAQ

Answers to the questions our New York patients ask most often.

Yes. New York telehealth regulations require you to be physically located within the state during your session. You can be anywhere in New York — your apartment in Queens, your office in Albany, your home in Syracuse, or a private space on Long Island. You do not need to be a permanent NY resident, but you must be within state lines at the time of the appointment.
We accept Aetna, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, Oscar, Anthem, Humana, Emblem Health, Carelon, and Medicare Advantage plans. New York State requires telehealth behavioral health visits to be covered at parity with in-person visits. Emblem Health and Oxford are especially common among NYC employer plans. Your insurance is verified when you book your appointment.
Same-week appointments are frequently available. The reality for many New Yorkers is that finding a psychiatrist or PMHNP accepting new patients can take weeks or even months — particularly in NYC where demand is extremely high, and in Upstate regions where psychiatric providers are scarce. Because our practice is telehealth-only, we can offer faster scheduling without the constraints of physical office capacity.
Yes. New York State has enacted permanent telehealth legislation authorizing licensed healthcare providers to deliver services via audio-visual technology.
