Sydney Rosen

PMHNP-BC, APRN, MSN
Online Therapy
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to work with you to create a treatment plan that’s as unique as you are— through medication, therapy, or a combination of both. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful progress in your mental health journey—whether it’s ensuring your medications are effective, managing side effects, or simply helping you feel better overall. In addition to treating anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, I also work with a broad range of mental health concerns, including OCD, PTSD, substance use disorders, insomnia, ADHD, eating disorders, and women’s health, especially during pregnancy and postpartum. While medication often plays a significant role in treatment, I embrace a holistic approach when appropriate, incorporating natural methods, vitamin supplementation, and genetic testing to personalize your care and find the best solutions for you. From adjusting medications to providing a space where you feel heard and supported, my ultimate goal is to help you thrive in a way that feels authentic and true to you. Treatment philosophy: I take a personalized approach to medication management, combining evidence-based practices with what matters most to you. I believe in truly understanding you—your concerns, values, and goals—and using that insight as the foundation for your treatment. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; together, we’ll design a plan that aligns with your lifestyle, whether that’s adjusting medications, managing side effects, or integrating therapy to support your growth. I recognize that mental health can be complex, which is why your voice will always be at the center of our work. We’ll check in regularly, adjust your plan as life evolves, and ensure that your treatment continues to meet your needs.
