Hi, I'm Ruthellen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 28 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments. Mental health has always been personal to me — watching my own family navigate those struggles is what called me into this work, and giving back to my community is what keeps me going.

Hi, I'm Dr. William Yu, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience providing medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist with more than 22 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telepsychiatry settings.
Throughout my career, I have helped adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma-related conditions, somatic symptom disorders, and other complex psychiatric illnesses. I also specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders, including medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine (Suboxone) for opioid use disorder.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive and judgment-free environment. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders.
My goal is to help clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their treatment. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship through trust, empathy, and collaboration. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and may include medication management, supportive therapy, and practical strategies to improve your overall well-being.
I understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable and comfortable.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Astoria, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Astoria starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. Both can be useful entry points, depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care focus before booking.
In Astoria, local psychiatry appointments may vary by office location, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual appointments can expand your options across New York, which may help if nearby openings are limited or your schedule works better outside a fixed office visit. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you compare communication style, appointment structure, availability, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients.
Psychiatric care in Astoria 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 care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, verifies your benefits, and shows your estimated cost before you book so you can confirm coverage available in Astoria. You can compare psychiatrists in Astoria, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
