Hi, I’m Salvatore, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. Finding the right psychiatric care can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been trying to hold everything together on your own. I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling anxious, depressed, unfocused, emotionally drained, or stuck in major life stressors. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make medication and treatment decisions together at a pace that feels right for you.

Amy Gelles

Amy Gelles

Therapist

Virtual • Poughkeepsie, NY


Hi, I’m Amy Gelles. I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, with an MSW from Columbia University—but more importantly, I genuinely love helping people figure themselves out.

I didn’t end up here by accident. I started as a social worker in underserved communities, worked my way up to CEO of a major behavioral health agency... and then made a very intentional pivot back to what I love most: sitting with people (in person or on Zoom) and helping them to feel better.

So many of us are walking around thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “Why do I feel this way?” ...and not getting great answers.

That’s where I come in.

I help you connect the dots, understand the patterns you’ve been stuck in, and actually shift them—so life starts to feel easier, clearer, and a lot happier - that is what I pride myself on doing.

I bring depth, insight, and a wide lens from years of experience—but also humor, honesty, and a very human approach.
