Staff Psychiatrist

I value open communication and a collaborative approach, creating a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. I integrate psychopharmacology and psychotherapy to help patients work toward clear treatment goals, while fostering a growth- and strengths-based perspective. I specialize in perinatal and reproductive psychiatry, supporting patients through pregnancy, postpartum, PMS, infertility, and perimenopause/menopause, as well as mood, anxiety, trauma-related, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I begin by thoroughly understanding each patient's history, concerns, and goals, develop individualized treatment plans aligned with these goals, and regularly reassess progress to refine strategies as needed, ensuring care is responsive, personalized, and effective.

I am board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I earned my medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School and completed residency at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I have extensive experience in private practice, academic leadership, and faculty roles, with expertise in treating diverse adult populations.

I also draw on a wide range of interests, from medical science to psychology and history, to enrich patient education.

Brian Ameel, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I believe the most effective treatment begins with a genuine partnership where doctor and patient work together with transparency, collaboration, and mutual respect. I take a "whole person" approach using a biopsychosocial model that considers physical health, life experiences, and environment alongside symptoms. My goal is to combine evidence-based medicine with a personal, accessible approach so patients feel heard and supported.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over 30 years of clinical experience and a deep specialization in remote mental health delivery. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings and have served in leadership roles as a Medical Director.

During the first visit, I complete a comprehensive psychiatric consultation focused on the concerns that prompted you to seek care, along with a review of symptoms and treatment history. Together we will develop a treatment plan with clear goals. Care often begins with medication management and continues with supportive, insight-oriented conversations during follow-up visits, with additional therapy recommended when helpful.

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.

Start with a free assessment

Getting started is simple. Take our free online assessment, answer a few questions, and get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. Then schedule your first video visit, often within days.

Common questions about psychiatric care in New York, NY

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.
