Mary Gutierrez, MD
I foster a warm, collaborative environment where patients and families feel supported and understood. I emphasize open communication and work closely with patients to define meaningful, realistic treatment goals. My holistic, family-centered approach integrates medication management, therapy, and psychoeducation with a deep commitment to cultural sensitivity and compassionate care. I begin by learning each patient's personal story, clinical history, and goals through a comprehensive evaluation, then create individualized, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each child's unique needs and family context. I continuously collaborate with patients, families, and care teams to ensure treatment remains effective, combining psychotherapy, medication management, and coordination with other providers and resources.
I am board-certified in both Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and General Psychiatry, with over 20 years of clinical experience. I earned my M.D. from Loyola University Medical Center, where I also completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry, and pursued fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Northwestern University's Children's Memorial Hospital. My past roles include Medical Director for Compass Health Center's Under 18 Program and Attending Psychiatrist at Loyola. I have been recognized as a "Top Doctor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry" by US News and World Report and Negocios Now.

I have always believed that medication must be used in conjunction with psychodynamic therapy, and medical and social supports to most appropriately treat a patient. I offer 30-minute sessions consisting of medication management and brief therapeutic support. I specialize in treating victims of trauma and medical comorbidity.
I am board certified in adult psychiatry and completed fellowship training in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (Psychosomatic Medicine). I have been practicing psychiatry since 2006.

I worked with multiple patients facing cultural challenges, as well as psychosocial stressors including poverty, family fragmentation, and poor education. During this time, I worked within the indigenous system of mental health, which treats not just emotional or physical issues for a person, but spiritual and familial as well. I have incorporated this into my treatment approach for all patients.
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.
