Our Virtual Services
Psychiatric Evaluation
A thorough virtual psychiatric evaluation to understand what you're experiencing, establish an accurate diagnosis, and build a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We take the time to review your full history, symptoms, and goals so your care starts on a foundation that's actually complete and centered around you.
Psychiatric Care
Ongoing, patient centered telehealth for adults managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and complex mental health concerns. We don't rotate providers or rush appointments. You see the same clinician every visit — someone who knows your history and adjusts your care as your needs evolve.
Medication Management
Careful, monitored medication protocols designed to optimize your results while protecting your overall health. We evaluate how your medications are working, adjust when needed, and take side effects seriously. The goal is finding what genuinely helps you — not just what looks good on paper.
Pharmacogenetic Testing
State-of-the-art DNA testing that analyzes how your body processes psychiatric medications — helping us identify what's most likely to work for you and what to avoid. If you've tried medications that didn't help or caused difficult side effects, this test can explain why and point a better direction.

Meet the Founders
Nick and Kris didn't build Astra to run a business. They built it because they'd spent years working in psychiatric care, watching patients leave appointments with a script and very little else, and believed there had to be a better way. They met working the same difficult shifts — Kris as a psychiatric nurse, Nick as a mental health worker. They became close friends. Years later, when the opportunity to build Astra arrived, they already knew what they wanted it to be: the kind of practice they would feel comfortable recommending to their own family members.
That's who you'll be working with.
Nick Stanzione, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Nick brings a background in neuroscience and emergency medicine, and over a decade of direct psychiatric care, to every patient he sees. He's board-certified and licensed in Delaware, Connecticut, and New York.
Nick's approach is straightforward: understand why someone is struggling before deciding how to help. That means asking questions most providers skip, reviewing the full picture, and never treating a perscription as a substitute for actually listening.
Kris Generales, DNP, PMHNP-BC
Kris holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice, which is the highest level of clinical training for a nurse practitioner. He has over a decade of experience across inpatient and outpatient mental health care. Kris is board-certified and licensed in Delaware, Connecticut, and New York.
Kris believes good psychiatric care begins with curiosity. Two patients can describe nearly identical symptoms and need completely different approaches. His job is to understand your whole story before deciding what comes next, and to make sure you understand the reasoning.
"Trust is rarely established through one perfect conversation. It's built through consistency, honesty, follow-through, and the willingness to keep listening even when the answer isn't immediately obvious."
— Nick Stanzione, Co-Founder
