Dr. Jessie Seide

Dr. Jessie Seide

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I am dual board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. After several years of clinical practice, I earned my doctoral degree in 2021. My experience spans both behavioral and family health settings, including hospital-based behavioral health units, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient care.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and emphasizes holistic, collaborative care.

Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and values through a shared decision-making process.

I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment and to addressing disparities in mental health care. If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to support you with compassion, expertise, and care.

Karen Ennis

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their mental health journey. I provide compassionate, individualized care for adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges.

My approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. I believe treatment should be collaborative—not simply about prescribing medication. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, concerns, and goals so that we can develop a treatment plan that makes sense for you.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eighteen years of experience supporting individuals through challenging times. My clinical practice is shaped by a diverse background in teaching, mental health counseling, community-based social work, domestic violence consulting, and family case planning within the Family Treatment Rehabilitation program. Throughout my career, I have worked with at-risk children and adolescents, parents, families affected by mental health issues, survivors of intimate partner violence, and the geriatric population. I love working with a wide range of groups, and I find it especially rewarding to focus on empowering my clients.

To maintain personal balance and stay inspired outside of my career, I fill my free time with nature walks, travel, cultural events, and my morning yoga routine.
