A little room to be yourself
You don’t have to
hold it all together
here.
If you appear to have it all together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, stuck, or disconnected on the inside, you’re not alone.
Many of the people I work with are used to taking care of everyone else, meeting expectations, and pushing through difficult circumstances while quietly struggling themselves.
My practice offers thoughtful, evidence-based treatment for adults with mild-to-moderate mental health concerns. We’ll work together to understand your goals and find an approach that feels collaborative and personal—not one-size-fits-all.
Areas of care
Support for where
you are right now.
Care that makes space for your symptoms, your responsibilities, your identity, and the transitions shaping your life.
-
Generalized anxiety disorder or longstanding anxiety, alongside the stress, perfectionism, and imposter feelings that can accompany everyday demands.
-
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, fertility and pre-conception concerns, pregnancy, postpartum, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
-
Depression related to chronic stress or burnout, and stress-related shifts in energy, focus, or mood that leave you feeling unlike yourself.
-
Evaluation and treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with attention to your daily experiences and personal goals.
-
Insomnia and sleep difficulties connected to stress or anxiety, considered within the broader picture of your mental health.
-
Burnout related to work, caregiving, or long-term overextension, as well as relationship challenges and times of change.
You are welcome here. Dr. Ramsey works with adults of all genders, including high-achieving, healthcare, and young professionals, first-generation Americans, underrepresented individuals, and people navigating reproductive and perinatal transitions.

Meet your psychiatrist
Hi, I’m
Dr. Natalie Ramsey.
I believe effective treatment begins with a strong therapeutic relationship.
I chose to focus my career on direct patient care. I currently practice within Northwell Health and serve as an Assistant Professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, working with employees seeking mental health support as well as individuals seeking perinatal mental health support.
In my private practice, I combine thoughtful medication management with CBT, psychodynamic principles, and supportive psychotherapy. I take time to understand your goals and explain your treatment options, so care feels collaborative and personalized.
I completed my undergraduate education at Howard University, my MD/PhD training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, followed by psychiatry residency at Columbia University and a fellowship in Women's and Reproductive Mental Health, also at Columbia.

What to expect
We’ll take it
one step at a time.
○
Start with a conversation.
Your free 15-minute introductory call is a chance to ask questions, discuss fees, and review whether the practice may be a good fit for your needs.
◎
Share your whole picture.
At your first clinical visit, we’ll discuss what brings you to care, your mental health history, symptoms, goals, and treatment concerns. Ongoing-care intakes are 60 minutes; single consultations and second opinions are 90 minutes.
↗
Build a plan together.
We’ll consider treatment options, including medication if appropriate, and discuss a plan that fits your goals. If a different approach or higher level of care would better meet your needs, we’ll talk about that openly.
Fees & insurance
Clarity is
part of care.
Session fees are available upon request, discussed during your free introductory call, and listed through SimplePractice. Payments are collected at the start of the visit by credit or debit card through Stripe, or by direct Zelle payment.
For insurance plans other than Aetna, Dr. Ramsey accepts private payment as an out-of-network provider. She provides detailed statements of service, called superbills, that you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Eligibility and amounts depend on your plan; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
