Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Syracuse, NY

Im a Native New Yorker and a Clinal Social Worer, with over 20 years experience in a vareity of settings. My style is best described as warm, understanding, honest and direct.

I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.

I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.

I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.

I take a holistic and evidence-based approach to therapy, blending techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, relational, EMDR and mindfulness to create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and goals.Healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and a deep understanding of your story. Together, we will work collaboratively to foster growth, insight, and meaningful change.

I also offer Emdr intensives on a private pay basis - feel free to inquire about insurance options

Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who offers caring, evidence-based medication management across the lifespan. I focus on treating ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and insomnia, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences and goals.

I believe mental health care should be supportive, never rushed or judgmental. My approach is patient-centered and practical. I take time to listen, explain your options, and include you in every treatment decision. Whether you are starting medication, making changes to your current plan, or seeking more balance and clarity, I want you to feel heard and empowered.

My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in lived experience. Claiming joy and authenticity—as a sober, trans, kinky, non-monogamous, bisexual person—has taken time, intention, and community. I’ve moved through fear, people-pleasing, relapse, and grief, and found healing in therapy and holistic recovery spaces that reminded me who I was when I couldn’t see it myself.

I believe we’re all doing our best with the tools we have, and that therapy can offer space to build new ones—tools for feeling more, hiding less, and showing up in ways that feel true. My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded in care that doesn’t shy away from depth.

I earned my MSW from Columbia University in 2015 and began my career in home-based family therapy at NY Foundling. I later supported LGBTQIA+ youth at the LGBT Center and joined Dulcinea Pitagora’s group practice before founding my own. I continue to offer clinical supervision to social work interns at the LGBT Center.

After 11 years in NYC, I moved to the Hudson Valley to live among trees, rescue dogs, and small-town queer community. Outside of session, I’m often on a trail, on my yoga mat, or watching the birds from my porch.

If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, school stress, or family conflict, therapy can be a place to feel understood and start making meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support clients in building coping skills, improving confidence, and finding practical ways to manage everyday challenges.
