Find a psychiatrist in New York — covered by insurance

I’m a New York based double board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience helping adults manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based care. I take time to understand your symptoms, background, and goals to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your life. I completed my medical training at the University of Mumbai, followed by residency at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn and a fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. My background includes work at institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, NYU Langone, and currently New York-Presbyterian, where I serve as Unit Chief and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine. Whether you’re facing ongoing challenges or navigating a new diagnosis, I’m here to help you move forward with support and clarity.

Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.

Hi, I'm Dr. William Yu, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience providing medication management and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and life transitions.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of trauma, or exhausted by PTSD, healing is within reach. I am a compassionate psychiatrist whose practice is informed by a social-work lens. This means I look at the big picture—how social, environmental, and biological factors impact your mental health. My goal is to guide you from a place of survival to thriving. I provide careful diagnostic assessments and tailored treatment plans that respect your preferences, helping you safely process the past and reclaim control over your future wellbeing.

I am a dedicated Family / Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting my clients on their mental health journey. My approach is both warm and compassionate, creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in being direct and honest while maintaining a foundation of empathy and respect.

With a strong focus on holistic and personalized care, I work collaboratively with clients to develop effective treatment plans that address your unique needs, challenges, and goals. My strength lies in balancing a straightforward communication style with genuine empathy, ensuring you feel supported and motivated throughout your mental health journey.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or life transitions, I am here to help guide you toward wellness with kindness, clarity, and understanding.

I have been a family nurse practitioner since 2008 and board certified in psychiatry since 2024. As a provider I have always had a focus on mental health, as it is key to whole health! I have a background in palliative care and have extensive experience working with adult and geriatric patients. I am cisgender and straight but I welcome working with the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and/or PTSD.

Please note that I do not treat ADHD with stimulant medications.

As a telehealth-only provider, I am unable to accept all clients. We will meet for an initial consult to see if we are a good fit, prior to committing to working with each other. I look forward to meeting you!

My clients should know that I am reliable, easy to work with, detail-oriented, and dedicated to delivering high-quality results. I value honesty, clear communication, meeting deadlines, and prioritizing understanding their goals to ensure the outcome aligns with their needs. I always strive to make clients feel supported and confident throughout the process.
