I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults on their mental health journeys.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that understanding yourself is the foundation of healing, and I focus on giving my clients practical tools, education, and guidance they can use every day—not just during sessions.
In our first session, I take the time to truly listen and understand your story, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create a personalized and realistic treatment plan designed to support your growth, emotional well-being, and long-term success.
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward. My goal is to help you build confidence, develop lasting skills, and become the strongest version of yourself—one step at a time.
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 began my psychiatric nursing career after graduating from Columbia University School of Nursing in 2009. Several years later, I pursued an advanced practice degree, also at Columbia University, and earned a PhD. I lived in Poland and France before I arrived to the United States at the turn of this century. Given my international experience, I work in three languages: English, French, and Polish. I offer therapy and medication management and the clients and me decide on the best approach.
I have been in practice since 2013 and worked with people from all walks of life. I am sensitive to context, goal oriented and will work with you to find a solution that works for you.
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. Outside of the office, you'll find me cheering on my favorite teams or staying active, because I truly believe movement and joy are part of the whole picture.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and a proud graduate of D'Youville College, I provide a compassionate, faith-based approach to mental health care. My work stems from my belief that healing is always possible and that hope is a powerful force for change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I offer a safe, welcoming space where we can work together to rediscover your strength and resilience. I believe that setbacks help us grow rather than define who we are. Starting over, sometimes, is the bravest thing we can do.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Great Neck
Finding psychiatrists in Great Neck starts with understanding the type of care that fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. Medication management may be used for concerns such as anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both depending on the support they need.
Great Neck has local psychiatry options, but availability may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City or Long Island. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s background, specialties, and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Great Neck 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. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
