Jeffrey Panko

I’m Jeffrey Panko, an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving adults across New York. A Stony Brook University graduate, I bring more than twelve years of psychiatric nursing experience to my practice.

I’ve also experienced depression and anxiety, and I live with ADHD,. Those experiences deepen my understanding of what it means to need support and that shapes the clinician I am.

Adults of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds are welcome here.

Your care should reflect your needs, goals, and preferences, with a focus on changes that matter in your everyday life.

Treatment may include medication, therapy, or both. We’ll choose medications thoughtfully and adjust them based on your response, aiming to help you feel more like yourself while limiting side effects. For therapy, we may work together, or I may connect you with a provider whose expertise better fits your needs.

Throughout your care, I want you to feel seen, heard, and respected—and empowered to build the life you want.

At our first appointment, we’ll explore your history, current challenges, and hopes for treatment in a comfortable, nonjudgmental space. You don’t have to share everything at once; trust takes time.

I’ll explain my recommendations, how treatment works, potential benefits and risks, and how to handle side effects. You’ll have room to ask questions and decide whether you’re ready to begin or need more time.

Before we finish, we’ll discuss what to expect, how we’ll assess progress, and when to reach out. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of our next steps.
