Meet Drew Goldbaum-Ratkevich

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) educated at New York University (NYU), I bring over a decade of experience providing inclusive, evidence-based, and empathetic healthcare. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

I founded Anchor Wellness Psychiatry to expand access to inclusive, affirming, and high-quality psychiatric care for individuals across New York. My mission is to create a compassionate and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, build coping skills, and move toward sustainable well-being.

Prior to founding Anchor Wellness Psychiatry, I co-founded a thriving group practice dedicated to holistic, patient-centered care. I have also served in nursing leadership roles and as an adjunct faculty member at NYU, mentoring the next generation of psychiatric nurse practitioners.

Areas of Focus

My areas of focus include anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, disordered eating, substance use disorders, early adulthood transitions, and LGBTQ+-affirming care. I specialize in psychiatric medication management and integrate brief psychotherapy and practical coping strategies into each session to create individualized, holistic treatment plans.

Together, we'll explore the root causes of your symptoms, clarify your goals, and find solutions that support lasting change. I understand — both professionally and personally — the power of therapy and self-discovery. My goal is to help you cultivate stability, confidence, and connection as you move toward the life you envision.
