Kirk Carruthers, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I bring a casual, easygoing communication style to create a comfortable space where patients feel at ease. I emphasize forming strong therapeutic bonds based on trust, and I combine supportive therapy with medication management. I encourage collaboration with therapists and use evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to each individual's needs. I begin with a thorough understanding of each patient's concerns, history, and goals, then create a personalized treatment plan and work collaboratively with the patient to reach those goals, adjusting care as needed for ongoing progress.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with experience in both outpatient and inpatient psychiatry, as well as addiction medicine. I completed my medical degree at Morehouse School of Medicine and trained at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, where I completed general psychiatry residency and fellowships in addiction and community psychiatry. My experience includes roles in community mental health, academic teaching, and the VA system.

Outside of work, I enjoy music production, soccer, spending time with loved ones, and all dogs.

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.

Psychiatry across New York

Brooklyn is one part of the care Talkiatry offers statewide. To see the full picture of psychiatrists licensed across the state, visit our New York psychiatry page.

Can I get a prescription from an online psychiatrist in Brooklyn?

A Talkiatry psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication when it is clinically appropriate and legally permitted. A prescription is never guaranteed; your psychiatrist decides what fits your evaluation and treatment plan.
