Family Therapy Psychiatrists in New York, NY

I'm an MD sex and relationship therapist in Manhattan, Associate Clinical Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, a frequent guest on national media, and the author of the new book "Love Worth Making: How to Have Ridiculously Great Sex in a Long-Lasting Relationship" (St Martin's Press, 2018). Unlike most sex therapists, I'm also an M.D. --- which can be important since sexuality is on the border between the mind and the body.

Making the decision to pursue psychiatric treatment requires courage and motivation. As your psychiatrist, I honor your willingness to be vulnerable with me by being transparent with you throughout our work together. My clinical approach balances directness with empathy, shared expectation with flexibility, and professionalism with humor and warmth. I provide psychiatric evaluations, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and medication management to adolescents and adults. I am passionate about caring for LGBTQIA+ people, and I have been researching and teaching about queer issues in health care for the past ten years.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or anxious with life or a relationship? Or more shut down or depressed? Unable to keep up with your daily routine? Patterns develop while growing up in our families of origin that no longer work or produce symptoms. We work on understanding those attachment patterns historically and in the present in order to reflect and change them. I teach tools to help people process the energy from feeling states in their nervous systems so a wider range of feelings can be experienced without flooding or shutting down. Then we reprocess the traumatic memories that feed the symptoms.

I am a board certified, licensed psychiatrist, working in Manhattan. I graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine and completed my residency at Mount Sinai St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital. My patients face a wide array of diagnoses and challenges, and I use a multidimensional approach in order to devise individualized treatment plans that include the use of medication and/or psychotherapy. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I am committed to helping my patients develop the tools they need to lead meaningful and healthy lives.

My ideal client has to be willing to be unwittingly honest and want to help themselves. It cannot be one sided. Their needs are wanting positive methods to cope with past and present trauma. They want to thrive and not merely just survive. They may have one short term goal, and that is okay. We all have to start somewhere.

Hello, I look forward to meeting you! My name is Chelsea and I'm a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner In the state of New York. I specialize in ADHD, Anxiety, Binge Eating Disorder, Bipolar, Depression, Insomnia/Sleep Issues, Life Transitions, Loss/Grief/Bereavement, Maternal Mental Health, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Seasonal Affective Disorder (OCD). I work with an amazing group of colleagues at Lavender, an online psychiatry and therapy office, where we believe psychiatric care shouldn't be expensive nor impossible to access.

“When patients walk into my office there is a lot going on in their lives and their minds are consumed by distressed thoughts. They may feel isolated, overwhelmed, stressed, agitated, anxious or angry at the world. They may feel upset at themselves or at others for feeling panicky, agitated, and powerless to focus and contemplate. They may also feel distracted, easily frustrated, ready to quit, helpless, hopeless, worthless, irritable, and look negatively at every aspect of their lives. These people are in search for compassion, sincerity, and real help – often quick help.”

As a board-certified psychiatrist, I am adept at treating mental health concerns ranging from mood and anxiety disorders to interpersonal difficulties and life challenges. Knowing that these problems can affect anyone and cause significant impairment in one's life, I strive to provide compassionate and comprehensive care with the goal of restoring my patients to the state of mind and level of functioning they expect. My approach is an integrative one, wherein I assess one's psychological, emotional, medical and environmental contributors to problems and address these in treatment using both psychotherapy and medication management.

I am a licensed psychiatrist and currently a fellow at the Columbia University Public Psychiatry Fellowship where I work at an OnTrackNY program, which empowers young people who are newly diagnosed with schizophrenia to make meaning of their experiences and attain their goals for school, work, and relationships. I completed my residency training at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

I am trained to treat people at all life stages. I do especially enjoy helping children and adolescents feel better and reach their full potential. When working with children, it is crucial to do an in-depth evaluation to look at the "whole picture," as all children exist within their own web of relationships (family, friends, schools, extracurricular activities). I develop personalized treatment plans that use evidence-based therapy, medications or a combination to help children and their families achieve better mental health and family functioning.

I work together with clients and their families to understanding greater the underlying issues from which many psychiatric manifestations are stemming from, providing psychoeducation, and then picking the best suited, personalized treatment plan to address the specific needs of each client.

As a psychopharmacologist and psychotherapist, I can provide integrated treatment best. I treat people of all ages. I am very experienced with children, adolescents and young adults especially. I am accustomed to working with families, if that is needed, as well. I have the most experience and expertise with ADHD at any age, but I treat many other disorders and things that don't necessarily neatly fit or need a diagnostic category. I spend the necessary time getting to know patients before any recommendations. I can work with schools, agencies and recommend other doctors and services as needed for you.
