I take the time to really understand you and how your experiences and patterns fit together. I want therapy to feel useful in your day-to-day life. Whether it’s a new perspective or a concrete strategy, my goal is for you to leave with something that makes life feel more manageable.
Hi everyone! My name is Amira and I received my Forensic Mental Health Counseling master's degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice and also obtained a certification in victimology studies. My specialties areas are substance abuse, addictions, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and LGBTQ related issues.
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care to adolescents and adults through a warm, holistic, and evidence-based approach. I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Long Island University and later advanced my training with a post master’s certification in psychiatric mental health at Liberty University. My background across urgent care and outpatient settings has allowed me to care for a wide range of conditions, while recognizing the strong connection between physical health, anxiety, depression, and overall emotional well-being.
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, and life transitions, including those managing both medical and mental health conditions. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, while also creating a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. My goal is to help you feel more stable, clear, and in control of your mental health.
I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, providing expert care to patients ages 6 to 80 through secure virtual appointments. Licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware, I bring 25 years of clinical experience to psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My work experiences include private practice, academic medicine, community psychiatry, residential treatment facilities, intensive outpatients.
I earned an MD from Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany, and completed psychiatry residency and child psychiatry fellowship training at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.
