PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.
*Please note I am only able to treat patients located in NY state.
As a Board Certified PMHNP, I use medication management to treat mental health disorders in a supportive and compassionate environment. I work with individuals to identify safe and appropriate strategies that align with their preferences and goals of treatment. After working with many different populations, I have adopted a comprehensive, patient focused, and evidence-based treatment approach rooted in interdisciplinary care.
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, and life transitions. I have experience at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) supporting medically complex children and adolescents, which has shaped my compassionate and collaborative approach to care. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.
I'm Sandra Sarro, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience caring for individuals and families across a variety of mental health settings. Throughout my career in emergency psychiatry, inpatient care, medical units, and private practice, I've learned that every person's story is unique. My goal is to provide care that is compassionate, sincere, and nonjudgmental, so you always feel heard and supported. I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, and families experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, insomnia, behavioral and school-related concerns, anger management, and life transitions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Medford, NY
Finding the right psychiatrist in Medford starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare Medford psychiatrists, look for training, listed specialties, and experience that match what you want support for.
Medford is a smaller community, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be limited. Virtual appointments can expand your search across New York and give you more choices for schedule, specialty, and fit. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Medford 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who may accept your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are verified. You can browse profiles, compare availability, 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.
