Care Starts With Understanding
Driven by the belief that effective mental health care begins with understanding the whole person
Meet Irina Levy PMHNP-BC
Founder of InnerMind Psychiatry & Wellness | Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Professional Experience
I began my career as a psychiatric nurse at Mt. Sinai Beth Israel and Zucker Hillside, and later as a medical nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Glen Cove Hospital. These experiences built a strong foundation in both psychiatric and medical care, allowing me to provide holistic treatment that considers the whole person – mind, body, and life circumstances.
Since 2023, I have worked in a nonprofit outpatient clinic, providing personalized care to teens and adults from diverse backgrounds. In this role, I gained extensive experience addressing an array of different mental health conditions. Working in a community-based setting also strengthened my commitment to making care accessible and practical, tailored to each person’s unique circumstances. These experiences continue to shape the way I approach my work today – combining evidence-based treatment with compassion and respect for the individual.
Conditions Treated
Together, we can work through challenges such as:
- Anxiety Disorders – including generalized anxiety, panic, and phobias
- Depression – major depressive disorder and related mood challenges
- Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – for adolescents, teens, and adults
- Psychosis – schizophrenia spectrum and related conditions
- Tardive Dyskinesia – management of movement-related side effects from medications
- Mood Challenges – including bipolar disorder and mood instability
I take a holistic approach that considers mind, body, and circumstances, and I often collaborate with therapists and other providers to ensure care is coordinated and tailored to each individual.
My Approach
My evaluations are comprehensive, and with consent, collaboration with other providers helps ensure care is seamless and personalized. I focus on empowering patients to move forward at their own pace while providing support that is compassionate, practical, and evidence-based.
Commitment to Care
I am dedicated to ongoing learning and regularly attend trainings and conferences to stay current with the latest practices. My goal is to provide the highest quality of care while fostering a supportive environment for every patient.
