What people come to this practice for
AccessMind Psychiatry supports adults across a range of everyday mental health concerns.
Here is where most of the work sits.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Careful prescribing with the goal of using the least amount of medication that genuinely helps. Options are explained, questions are welcome, and the plan is decided together.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
One on one sessions drawing on cognitive behavioral, interpersonal and mindfulness based approaches, matched to what you actually want to work on.
MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS
A structured first conversation about symptoms, history and goals, so any recommendation rests on a clear picture rather than a guess.

YOUR PROVIDER
Steven Smith, PMHNP-BC
Steven is a double board certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with roughly five years of
nurse practitioner experience, including hybrid palliative and psychiatric care before completing his psychiatric
training.
Before nursing, he was a firefighter. He is a veteran and a retired first responder, and he brings that background into
the room. He has sat with people in genuinely hard moments, and he does not startle easily.
His approach is collaborative by design. You will be asked what you want out of treatment, and the plan gets built
from there, not the other way around.

MEET STEVEN FROM HOME
Pick a time that works, join the video visit, and start the conversation. Headway handles scheduling, insurance and billing.
Your first session is a conversation, not a test.
Steven will ask what brought you here, what you are hoping to change, and what has and has not worked before. There is no script you need to follow and no right answer.
Build the plan together
That might include medication, therapy, or both, and it might start smaller than you expect.
Join from a private place
Sessions are virtual, so you can take them from home, from a parked car between shifts, or anywhere private where you can talk freely.
Build the plan together
Scheduling, insurance and billing all run through Headway, which keeps that side of things simple.

In network, so a visit costs closer to a copay
A lot of psychiatry in New York and New Jersey is private pay only, at two hundred dollars an hour and up. Steven is in network through Headway, which means many people pay a standard copay instead of a full private rate.
PLANS ACCEPTED THROUGH HEADWAY
Plan participation can differ by state and can change over time. The Headway profile always shows the current list, and adding your insurance there gives you a cost estimate before you commit. Self pay is also available.

The things people ask first
Do I need a referral to book?
No. You can book directly.
Are appointments virtual or in person?
All appointments are virtual. You join from wherever you are comfortable and can talk freely.
How does insurance work?
Scheduling and insurance run through Headway. Steven is in network through Headway with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna, and Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey. When you add your plan in Headway it shows your expected cost before you confirm anything.
Can I be seen if I live in one state but work in the other?
What matters is where you physically are during the appointment, and Steven is licensed in both New York and New Jersey. So either works, as long as you are in one of the two when you join.
I already take medication. Can Steven take over prescribing?
Yes. AccessMind accepts transfer patients. It helps to know what you are currently taking and roughly how long you have been on it, but you do not need anything prepared in order to book.
Do I have to take medication?
No. Some people come for therapy alone, some for medication, some for both. What you want out of treatment is part of the conversation, not something decided for you.
