Psychiatrists in New York, NY

My approach is to help people with problems with love and work. There are two kinds of love: (1) human sexuality and (2) love writ large as mutual affection and caring. Work provides a livable income, food and shelter, and a sense of success. It can be unsatisfactory, compounded by clashes between employers or among the workers themselves. When love and work are threatened by loss, the reaction may be one of anxiety, all the way to panic. When love and work get lost, the reaction will be grief or depression, low self-esteem, helplessness and hopelessness, even an urge to die.

Most patients seeking treatment feel that despite their best efforts, inside they feel helpless, confused and demoralized. Dynamic psychotherapy and its "big brother" psychoanalysis are treatments designed to repair self-esteem and restore a full capacity for living. I see patients frequently, usually twice a week and it is out of our work together that hidden self-knowledge emerges and a renewed optimism about life's possibilities arises.

I am a psychiatrist working with adults, teens and children. Having received training in different psychotherapy modalities as well as pharmacotherapy, I strive to help people across the lifespan achieve their best selves. In my practice, I merge different psychotherapeutic approaches to provide an individualized treatment that best fits my patients and their families particularly when navigating cultural and racial identities. In our work together, I use my training as a child and adolescent psychiatrist to take into account the role of your culture and family of origin in informing your identity development from youth to adulthood

My broad education - medical school at Case, cultural psychiatry at Harvard, residency training at Yale - has helped me understand that people need help throughout life. I treat adults ages 18 and over with a wide range of problems, including anxiety and depression. I can work with you to make sense of tough transitions like grief, relationship issues, balancing family roles, divorce, not meeting expectations at work or school, and medical illnesses. As former advisor to Yale's University Chaplain, I know how people who are suffering search for hope. I teach and supervise psychotherapy at Columbia where I am a full professor.

Each person who comes to see me has his or her own unique story, and I will do my best, through careful listening grounded upon years of specialized training and experience, to understand what is troubling you and what could help you move forward. You may be seeking help with relationships, work, parenting, identity, or problems with depression, anxiety, or other issues. Many people who seek help worry that their problems are too long-standing to get better, or are simply a product of circumstances. But neither of these ideas needs to get in the way of productive treatment.

Medication can provide wonderful relief for acute matters but only psychotherapy offers the possibility of fundamental change of life-long destructive patterns. With a combination of medication and therapy I have helped many patients to achieve a better life. Board certified in child as well as adult psychiatry, I am experienced in the treatment of conditions affecting children and adolescents, adults, and the geriatric population.

I am Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University and a board-certified psychiatrist committed to offering comprehensive care for individuals, couples and families. I practice and value psychotherapy because it can be an enormously powerful tool to enhance personal growth, learning and self-discovery. Being a physician enables me to offer the option of medication when needed. This has the advantage of integrating both types of treatments with one provider only. If you are already in psychotherapy, I will work in coordination with your therapist to achieve the best result.

I worked as an internist before training in psychiatry and then in psychoanalysis. My patients are generally people who are unhappy in some way in spite of their success in their career or family life or both - often people for whom medication and psychotherapy has not worked or worked only partially in the past . Most of my work is insight oriented talk therapy or psychoanalysis. However some patients whom I see only for medication I see only a couple of times each year.

I treat people with anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, eating and sleep disorders. Issues related to work and/or relationships are also common reasons for seeking treatment. After an evaluation, I will suggest a treatment plan for you. Commonly this includes a form of psychotherapy, and sometimes medication. I may also suggest some behavioral changes. A good treatment plan should be thoughtful and practical, taking into account your strengths as well as difficulties. Happiness and a greater sense of well being are usually some of the goals.

Hello and Welcome. I am a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who sees patients of all ages struggling with mood disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma, loss, ADHD, adjustment difficulties, attachment issues, family/social/professional stress and/or overall difficulty functioning. My aim is always to meet patients where they are and work jointly to get a thorough understanding of their symptoms, situation and all other contributing factors. I think of mental health as the cornerstone of overall health and therefore aim to work on resiliency and optimizing mental wellness as opposed to simply addressing illness.

Modern life is a complex interplay of work, family and friends. Particularly at times of transition, interpersonal dynamics can become difficult and painful, and we find ourselves in need of advice and support. I have experience working with individuals facing personal challenges: young adult life, marital issues, work life balance and raising children. I combine the use of medication with psychodynamic psychotherapy to treat individuals suffering from a variety of conditions including anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and attention deficit disorder.
