Dana Denaris

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I’m a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in ICU. My background in ICU shaped how I understand the deep connection between physical and mental health, especially how stress, trauma, and anxiety often show up in the body. I transitioned into psychiatry after witnessing firsthand the emotional toll the pandemic had on patients, families, and healthcare workers. It became clear to me that supporting people’s mental health is just as essential as treating physical conditions.

**Important for New Jersey patients seeking STIMULANT treatment:

Due to New Jersey state regulations, patients prescribed stimulant medications are required to attend an in-person visit at least once every three months. These visits are scheduled at my SoHo office in Manhattan.

Please note that there is a $100 facility fee for in-person visits to cover the cost of the clinical space. This fee is separate from insurance and is due at the time of the visit.**

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Albany, NY

Finding psychiatrists in Albany starts with knowing the type of care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and help manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, experience, and approach before choosing who to meet with.

Albany has a smaller local market than larger New York cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond offices near Downtown, Arbor Hill, South End, and nearby neighborhoods. Psychiatric care often follows a different schedule than therapy, with medication management visits that are usually shorter and less frequent than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and visit structure.

Psychiatric care in Albany can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verifies your benefits, and shows your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. You can browse psychiatrists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
