My name is Henry Coffield and I believe in mental wellness. The beginning of any process has to involve belief. I have worked for over 20 years in this field. I bring an open minded , humorous perspective through the therapeutic process. I believe in medication management yet it has to include additional work such as mentorship, life coach, therapist, spiritual advisor.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in ADHD, mood disorders, and complex or unclear diagnoses. My approach is collaborative but direct - I focus on getting the diagnosis right and creating a treatment plan that truly fits your life.
I have experience across outpatient and residential settings, and I often work with patients who are looking for more clarity or haven’t found answers elsewhere.

I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.
My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and licensed Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP). Born in Vietnam and raised in Philadelphia, I bring a culturally informed, compassionate approach to care. I provide evidence-based psychiatric treatment for adults and, for those who desire it, can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into treatment in a patient-led and respectful manner.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Allentown, PA
Finding the right psychiatrist in Allentown starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through different therapeutic approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, either type of specialist may be part of your care, depending on your needs and goals.
Allentown has a smaller local provider market than larger Pennsylvania cities, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across the Lehigh Valley. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Allentown psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and whether their bio lists experience with your concerns.
Psychiatric care in Allentown 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 booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, verify insurance, view estimated costs upfront, 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.
