I take a whole-person approach, considering psychological, social, cultural, and environmental factors. I emphasize evidence-based practice and work collaboratively with patients to create individualized, realistic treatment plans. I strive to cultivate a supportive, respectful environment where patients feel heard and understood, drawing on my diverse professional and cultural background to provide culturally sensitive care.
I begin with a thorough, unrushed evaluation to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals. I develop personalized treatment plans grounded in evidence-based practice, incorporating integrative approaches when appropriate. I carefully use medication or deprescribing as needed and approach care as an ongoing, collaborative process, adjusting strategies as goals and needs evolve.
I completed fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Stony Brook University and psychiatry residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center – Permian Basin, where I served as Chief Resident. I also hold an MPH and a Certificate in Public Mental Health Research from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

George Han, MD
I use a collaborative, narrative-informed approach that centers each patient's lived experience and values.

Find a psychiatrist in Brooklyn, NY
Booking a psychiatrist in Brooklyn can mean long waits and a scramble to find someone taking new patients. Talkiatry connects you with a licensed psychiatrist who treats New York residents online, so you can be seen from anywhere in Brooklyn, whether you are in Bay Ridge, Bed-Stuy, or Flatbush. Visits happen by secure video from home, which means no commute across the borough and no waiting on a list to be seen.
Online psychiatry for Brooklyn residents
You start by answering a few questions online, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York who fits your needs. Your first visit lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan. Follow-up visits usually run about 30 minutes. Because care is online, there is no Brooklyn office to travel to, so "a psychiatrist near me" becomes a psychiatrist you can see from your own home, on your own schedule.
What a psychiatrist can help with
Talkiatry psychiatrists are medical doctors who evaluate your symptoms, listen to your history, and build a plan around what you actually need. They treat conditions including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Medication may be one part of that plan, but it is never automatic; your psychiatrist decides what fits your situation. Depending on your needs, therapy may also be part of your care.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Brooklyn?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, so many patients use their existing coverage. During your free assessment, your coverage is verified before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your plan, so check with your insurer for an estimate specific to your benefits.
Mental health care in New York
Across New York, 200 areas are designated as mental health professional shortage areas, covering about 3.77 million people, and only about 15.2 percent of the need for psychiatric care is currently met (KFF). For someone in Brooklyn, that shortage often shows up as long waits and few local openings. Online psychiatry helps expand access by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist across the state, rather than limiting your options to providers with an opening in your immediate area.
