Angela David

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Hi, I’m Angela David, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care focused on real, lasting change—not just symptom management.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions for teenagers, college students and adults. My approach combines medication management with practical therapy tools, so you leave sessions with strategies you can actually use in daily life.

Patients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. Together, we work to understand patterns, build coping skills, and create a plan that feels manageable and effective.

I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at your own pace. I take time to truly listen and understand your experiences, history, and goals. Together, we’ll determine whether medication, therapy, or a combination of both is right for you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable. Treatment is always personalized, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and your overall well-being.

My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and partnership. You are an active participant in your care, and your voice matters in every decision. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

I’m honored to support you as we work toward greater balance, resilience, and emotional well-being. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you take this important step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Shelby Sleasman

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner offering medication management. At this time I offer virtual sessions, with plans to add in‐person appointments in the near future. My approach is shaped by more than a decade of experience working in women's health as a nurse midwife. During that time, I realized how important it is to offer care that truly sees the whole person and honors their full experience. That background taught me how to sit with people in vulnerable moments, listen without rushing, and support them through real-life transitions with steadiness and compassion.
