Elizabeth Foote, MD
I am a board-certified addiction and general psychiatrist practicing medicine for over 15 years. I focus on providing integrated care for those with co-occurring disorders, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other forms of mental illness in the outpatient setting.
I provide medication management as well as psychotherapy, which includes drug and alcohol counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and cognitive processing therapy for trauma. When combining these treatment approaches, patients receive more comprehensive mental health care. Treatment begins with an initial assessment and a comprehensive treatment plan developed in coordination with the patient to best meet their needs.

My approach to patients emphasizes holistic, patient-centered, strength-based treatment built on a foundation of strong doctor-patient alliance and evidence-based medical knowledge. I value transparent communication and will work with you to create change. I treat patients as unique individuals, and treatment is put into place with individualized plans in mind. Your appointment with me will be a conversation. I am there to work towards goals together and am a good translator of "medical-ese." I enjoy working with patients on all aspects of their health and cater treatment plans to you.

Emily Mukherji, MD
I foster a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. I believe each person has a unique story and that treatment should be collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to individual needs, goals, and values. I begin with a thorough evaluation, exploring history, interests, relationships, and goals to understand symptoms in context. I integrate medication management with psychodynamic therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, and supportive therapy as needed. Care typically includes monthly visits until stable, then every 2–4 months to support continuity and long-term well-being.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my MD from Tufts University School of Medicine. I completed psychiatry residency at Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital, serving as Chief Resident in Psychotherapy during my final year. With 12 years of outpatient experience, I have worked with diverse patients and symptoms, led an academic outpatient clinic, and supported its transition to telehealth during COVID-19.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with family and friends, reading, travel, and movies.

Emily Patricia Hutchison, MD
My practice is grounded in promoting well-being through a holistic lens that considers the whole person. I prioritize creating a collaborative relationship with every patient, tailoring treatment to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. I believe in the importance of open communication, mutual trust, and shared decision-making as the foundation for effective care. Patients can expect a supportive and respectful environment where their experiences are valued, and treatment is approached as a partnership.
In my work, I begin by exploring each patient's personal experiences and symptoms in depth, with the goal of understanding the whole picture of their health. I develop holistic treatment plans that integrate both medical and lifestyle considerations to support long-term wellness, and I strive to ensure that care is not only effective but also compassionate and individualized.

Ernesto Gonzalez, MD
I prefer a holistic approach that takes the time to know the whole patient, incorporating biological, psychological, social, and cultural perspectives in crafting a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. I practice medication management combined with supportive therapy, typically delivered within 30-minute sessions. Elements of psychodynamic, dialectical behavior, and cognitive-behavioral therapy are also incorporated into sessions based on a patient's individual needs. If additional therapy is needed, I will recommend the addition of an individual therapist to the patient's treatment team. My primary focus is working with patients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. I also value working with people adjusting to changes in their lives, whether it be grieving the loss of a loved one, changes in employment, relationships, or adjusting to changes that come with age.

Find a psychiatrist in New York, NY
New York is full of specialists, yet getting on a psychiatrist's schedule can still take months. Talkiatry gives you another route: a psychiatrist in New York, NY who sees you by secure video, often within days rather than months.
Your psychiatrist is licensed in New York, so you can be seen from anywhere in the city, whether you are in Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx.
How online psychiatry works for New York residents
Care happens by secure video, from wherever you are. You answer a few questions in a short assessment, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. No subway ride, no waiting room.
Your first visit lasts 60 minutes, so there is time to explain your symptoms, ask questions, and shape a plan together. Later visits usually run about 30 minutes. The goal is a psychiatrist who listens and adjusts your care over time.
What a psychiatrist in New York can help with
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor trained to diagnose mental health conditions and manage treatment. Talkiatry psychiatrists help people with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, plus conditions such as bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD.
When medication is part of your plan, your psychiatrist can prescribe and manage it when clinically appropriate and legally permissible. A prescription is never guaranteed, and some medications may not be available for online prescribing. Your psychiatrist will talk through the options with you.
Therapy may also fit into your care, depending on your needs and availability.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in New York?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and we check your coverage during the free assessment before you schedule anything. That way you know where you stand before your first visit. What you pay out of pocket depends on your plan, so confirm the details with your insurer.
Mental health care in New York
Even in a large city, finding an available psychiatrist is hard. According to KFF's analysis of federal shortage data, New York has 200 designated mental health professional shortage areas. Only about 15.2% of the state's need for mental health practitioners is currently met. Closing that gap would take an estimated 238 more psychiatrists.
Online psychiatry helps expand your options by matching you with a psychiatrist licensed anywhere in New York, not only those with an office near your neighborhood.

How much does a psychiatrist cost in NYC?

Your cost depends on your insurance plan. Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and we verify your coverage during the free assessment before you schedule. Because plans differ, your out-of-pocket amount, such as a copay, is set by your insurer, so it helps to confirm the details with them.
Who is the best psychiatrist in NYC?

There is no single best psychiatrist, because the right fit depends on your needs, condition, and goals. Talkiatry matches you with a psychiatrist licensed in New York based on what you share in your assessment. If the fit does not feel right, it is worth raising your concerns directly before deciding to switch, since a strong working relationship often takes a few visits.
Can I go straight to a psychiatrist?

Usually, yes. Talkiatry does not require a referral to begin. You take the online assessment and get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. Check with your insurer, though, since some plans still ask for a referral for coverage.
What is the 3 month rule in mental health?

There is no official three-month rule in psychiatry. People sometimes use the phrase to describe giving a new medication or routine enough time to show effects, which can take several weeks. Your psychiatrist sets follow-up timing based on your treatment and how you respond, not a fixed rule.
