Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression is exhausting — especially when you're trying to hold everything together at the same time. You deserve a provider who meets you where you are and builds a plan that actually moves you forward.I'm Zinny Ezete, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric care for adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. My approach is direct, evidence-based, and built around your real life — not a generic protocol.My clinical background includes forensic psychiatry, inpatient psychiatric care, and advanced practice across major New York City hospital systems. I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients. Scheduling is fast — because waiting weeks for help you need now doesn't make sense.Let's get started.Zinny Ezete, APRN, PMHNP-BC

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Hamilton Township, NJ


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.

My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.

I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
