About Ana Umana-Ramirez, PMHNP-BC

A Psychiatric Provider on Long Island Who Puts You First
Ana Umana-Ramirez is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
She founded Flourish Psychiatry & Wellness with the belief that psychiatric care should feel different. It should be thorough, collaborative, and unhurried. Clients should leave each appointment feeling more informed and more in control of their care.
Her approach is grounded in a few core values: taking the time to understand the full picture of a person’s life, not just their symptoms; never pressuring anyone into a treatment that does not feel right; and treating each client as a true partner in the process. The decisions made in care are collaborative and always belong to the individual.
Why She Does This Work
Ana chose to specialize in perinatal mental health after witnessing firsthand how isolating and confusing postpartum struggles can be. As a mother who has navigated her own challenges during that time, she understands what it feels like to wonder if something is wrong, to feel disconnected from oneself, and to hesitate before asking for help.
That personal experience deepened her commitment to providing care that is genuinely understanding, not just clinically informed. She knows how much it matters to work with a provider who truly gets it.
Her work extends beyond new mothers. Ana is passionate about supporting anyone who has felt dismissed, rushed, or unheard by the mental health system. Whether you are someone dealing with lifelong anxiety, recently struggling to focus, or navigating a major life transition, she can help make sense of what is happening and find a path forward.
Psychiatric Care for Women, New Mothers, and Young Adults
Ana works primarily with adults navigating significant mental health challenges or life transitions. Her practice is especially well suited for:
Women experiencing perinatal mental health struggles — including anxiety, depression, rage, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty bonding during pregnancy or postpartum
College students and young adults — facing academic pressure, focus difficulties, anxiety, depression, or the challenges of newfound independence
High-achieving professionals — dealing with burnout, chronic overwhelm, and the sense that they should be able to handle everything but cannot
Common concerns clients bring to her practice include:
- Postpartum depression, anxiety, or mood changes
- Feeling disconnected from themselves or their baby
- Racing thoughts, constant worry, or inability to relax
- Difficulty focusing, following through, or staying organized
- Burnout, exhaustion, and emotional flatness
- Feeling like they have tried therapy but still feel "off"
You Are Looking for Someone Who Will Actually Listen
You have been carrying a lot. Maybe you have tried to push through on your own, telling yourself it would get better. Maybe you have seen other providers who made you feel rushed, or who handed you a prescription without really understanding what you were going through. Maybe you are not even sure if what you are experiencing is serious enough to need help.
You might be a new mother wondering why you do not feel the joy everyone told you to expect. You might be a college student whose focus has completely fallen apart. You might be a professional who has always been able to handle everything, and now you cannot figure out why nothing feels manageable anymore.

Whatever brought you here, you are looking for more than a checklist and a quick appointment. You want someone who will take the time to understand what is actually happening.
If this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
What Collaborative Psychiatric Care Looks Like
When clients come to see Ana, they often notice that the experience feels different. Appointments are calm and conversational, without rush or pressure.
She begins by listening. Ana takes time to understand not only symptoms, but the broader context of a person’s life, including their stressors, history, values, and what matters most to them. Questions are asked thoughtfully and with intention, not to check boxes, but to see the full picture.
Treatment is approached with transparency and collaboration. Ana explains what she is seeing, outlines available options, and discusses the risks and benefits of each approach. When medication is part of the conversation, it is presented as one tool among many, never as an automatic or one-size-fits-all solution.
Many clients describe working with Ana as grounding. Some report feeling steadier even after the first session, before any treatment changes are made. That sense of being truly heard can make a meaningful difference.
A Grounded Presence You Can Trust
Clients often share that what they appreciate most is finally feeling heard. After experiences with rushed appointments or providers who did not take the time to listen, working with Ana can feel like a relief.

Here is what you can expect:
- A thorough evaluation that does not skip steps
- A calm, unhurried presence in every appointment
- Honest, transparent communication about your options
- A collaborative approach where you are always part of decisions
- Specialized expertise in perinatal mental health
- Thoughtful, conservative approach to medication
- Genuine understanding, not just clinical knowledge
