Great to meet you!

You may be keeping up with work, relationships, family, and everyday responsibilities while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, emotionally exhausted, or simply unlike yourself. Maybe you’re having trouble sleeping, losing motivation, feeling increasingly irritable, or noticing that stress is affecting your relationships and quality of life. You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to get support.

I’m DeAnn Thompson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 19 years of experience in psychiatric and behavioral healthcare. My background in psychiatric nursing, Family Practice, and Psychiatric Mental Health has shaped my whole-person approach to care.

I provide personalized psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, work-related stress and burnout, trauma, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, sleep concerns, and major life transitions.

I especially enjoy working with busy professionals and adults who seem to have everything together on the outside but feel overwhelmed or emotionally depleted behind the scenes. I offer virtual appointments throughout New York, including evening and early weekend availability.

You’ve spent enough time functioning on empty. If you’re ready for things to feel different, schedule your first appointment today. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what you want to change, and create a plan to help you move forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized. I take the time to understand not only your symptoms but also how work, stress, relationships, and everyday life may be affecting your mental health. Together, we’ll create a practical treatment plan that may include medication management and is designed to help you feel better, function better, and regain balance.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for me to get to know you—not just your symptoms. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, how it’s affecting your work and everyday life, your mental health history, and what you hope to change.

Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive strategies, and practical next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and confident about the path forward.
