Dr. Starr Montalvo

Are you struggling with mood changes or anxiety which affect your daily functioning? I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of NYC experience in the mental health sector. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep-related disorders, including those which may accompany other medical conditions such as cancer. This unique experience allows me to understand the complex interplay between physical health and emotional well being and how they overlap with your daily functioning.

Entering treatment can feel intimidating at times, but I can help you navigate the treatment process to help you improve your quality of life. Together, we can create a personalized plan, as I use a patient-centric approach and typically begin with the lowest doses of medication possible to restore balanced functioning. Not only do I believe in helping my patients to heal, but I also seek to help them evolve.

My therapeutic approach is to support my patients in identifying the symptoms that are interfering with their lives and to provide feedback and guidance for treatments to help patients effectively address their personal life challenges. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment approach, but rather an integrative and personalized approach to best meet the needs of my patients. Psychopharmacological intervention helps to reduce symptoms and improve your overall sense of physical and emotional well-being.
