Shaneika Lindsay

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the everyday tasks of life ad personal stressors? Sometimes the first step towards feeling better is having someone who listens to your experience.

My name is Shaneika Lindsay and I am a board certified PMHNP with over 11 years of clinical experience. I earned my Masters of Science in Nursing from Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing where I graduated magna cum laude. I previously completed a BS in Nursing at Pace University and a BS in Biology at SUNY Albany.

I spent a total of 10 years providing care to our nation’s veterans at the VA Hospital New York Harbor Healthcare System. It was there that my passion for mental health developed while managing a variety of mental health diagnoses in the inpatient setting. I specialize in providing care for adults 18+ struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar-spectrum disorders, stress management, and major life transitions. I am deeply committed to providing care to individuals of all backgrounds including marginalized communities. I am also an LGBTQ+ ally.

I take a holistic and collaborative approach to providing mental health care. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I consider the individual as a whole—taking into consideration emotional well-being, life stressors, relationships, goals, and overall functioning. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and expressing your preferences about the course of your care. Your voice matters in your treatment.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brought you to treatment.

We will discuss your current concerns, mental health history, goals, and factors that may be affecting your well-being. Together, we will outline an integrative treatment plan that may include medication management, recommendations for psychotherapy, and lifestyle modifications based on your needs and preferences.

By the end of the first session my goal is for you to leave feeling heard and supported. Most importantly you will gain a greater understanding of the path that lies ahead in your mental health treatment journey.
