My name is Marie. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Walden University I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and I offer psychiatric services through Telehealth, allowing clients to attend appointments from the comfort and privacy of their own space.
Starting mental health care can feel overwhelming, and many people seek support when they feel stressed, stuck, or unsure how to cope.

I provide personalized, whole-person care that helps clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges and improve their well-being.

I am a triple board‐certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and rooted in both conventional psychiatry and functional medicine principles. I work to understand the root causes of symptoms—not just treat them—by considering biological, psychological, hormonal, nutritional, and environmental factors. Treatment plans may include medication management, lifestyle strategies, mind‐body approaches, and supportive therapy.
My style is warm, patient‐centered, and grounded in partnership. We build your plan together, ensuring it is evidence‐based, individualized, and flexible as you grow. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, or complex mind‐body concerns, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you toward lasting emotional and physical wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Clifton Park, NY
Finding psychiatrists in Clifton Park starts with knowing whether you need psychiatric care, therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric care often includes medication management, which means reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and making changes when clinically appropriate. People often look for psychiatric support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner whose listed specialties match the care you want.
In a smaller community like Clifton Park, nearby psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger areas, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes scheduling, appointment format, and availability important to review before booking. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading each profile can help you understand the clinician’s focus, communication style, appointment types, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Clifton Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and review estimated costs before you book. You can compare profiles, choose virtual or in-person care when available, 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.
