Bipolar Disorder Psychiatrists in New York

My practice focuses on using an integrated approach to the understanding and treatment of individuals' psychosocial stresses and psychiatric symptoms. I am a general psychiatrist with a focus on anxiety disorders, OCD, and mood disorders, and I am interested in the impact of trauma and personality. I have extensive experience working with young adults, and clinically I have experience working with people with significant mood and anxiety difficulties. My sessions are usually 30 minutes. I frequently suggest including a family member or friend in at least one session to get a comprehensive sense of each person's strengths and challenges.

I received my medical degree from NYU and completed my psychiatric residency at Mt. Sinai Hospital. I spent a number of years in the Brown system, as Training Director for the Brown Psychiatry Residency and as Vice-Chair of the Brown Department of Psychiatry. For several years, I served as Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Mt. Sinai West/St. Lukes', prior to my position at McLean Hospital, where I was Clinical Director of the Depression and Anxiety Division, overseeing the integration of clinical work, faculty development, and research in the division. I have worked primarily with outpatients, with the exception of a recent period of residential work at the Pavilion at McLean Hospital.

I am board certified in adult psychiatry and focus on medication management, which I offer alongside supportive psychotherapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. For some patients, it may be important to bring in additional psychotherapy for well-rounded care.

I believe that understanding and compassion are fundamental to effective psychiatric care. I provide engaged, patient-centered treatment, focusing on reducing symptoms and restoring well-being. My approach includes comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful medication management, supportive therapy, and the development of stress management skills. I treat youth ages 13–17 and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. For adolescent patients, I include parental involvement during a portion of appointments to discuss progress and treatment plans.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation in which I take time to understand their symptoms, history, and goals. I foster a collaborative and compassionate environment, ensuring that treatment plans are personalized and patient-centered. My approach may include medication management, therapy recommendations, and stress management techniques to support patients in achieving their mental health and well-being goals.

I believe the human spirit is resilient. There are many challenges in the lifespan and self-care is paramount to success. I provide psychiatric consultation and assessment and a pathway to change. Treatment may include medication management, therapy, and coping skills to assist with life challenges. I believe treatment is a partnership and believe in establishing mutually agreed upon goals. My process for working with patients begins with active listening. The assessment begins with the patient describing why they are seeking engagement in behavioral health treatment at this time. I complete a psychiatric assessment and evaluation and establish mutually agreed upon goals for treatment. I offer medication management in conjunction with supportive therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. I believe therapy and medication management, if indicated, together provide the best treatment outcomes.
