Family Therapy Psychiatrists in New York, NY

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.

Often it's difficulty with sleep, a recent drop in motivation, feeling more easily overwhelmed, a sense of disconnection, or just a too long ignored feeling that life could be better that brings someone to therapy, from there it's my job to build a therapeutic relationship and see that each client reaches sustainable improvements in well being.

I am now seeing people virtually and in person. I provide psychotherapy with the option of medication and other integrative treatments for anxiety, depression, and stress related to relationships, work, and other life challenges. My patients experience me as warm, open, collaborative, humble, and very accessible. As my patient, I would help you identify treatment goals, and then work with you to achieve these goals by together making sense of your feelings and helping you realize new freedom in your life. For patients who are already in therapy, I also provide adjunctive medication treatment.

The most meaningful, rewarding part of my work, both for my patients and for me, is the healing relationship that develops in psychotherapy sessions. With prescribed medications or not, psychotherapy is a better way of taking advantage of my additional training and experience in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, a mind-body relationship specialty, and especially of my psychoanalytic training, a way of listening and observing which invites both the patient and the doctor to treat the mind with the curiosity, humility and respect it deserves. Therapy is often very difficult, but it can become your most cherished journey.

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.

I provide psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and guidance on life style modification aimed to improve my patients' well-being. I believe in treatment which takes into account the whole person with their psychiatric, psychological, social and spiritual issues. I use the eclectic approach, which combines elements of different kinds of treatment such as Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Supportive Therapy. Beyond all this, my role as a therapist and a psychiatrist is to foster hope and insight, decrease suffering and help my patients achieve more freedom through personal growth.

We have all known times when we thought we had known the direction that our lives would take, yet we find that we've lost our way. Many of us never seemed to have found a way to be ourselves which feels true and natural. We may be left feeling distant from what ought to be our better selves, or perhaps we feel strangely isolated from those who could or should be our closest companions. We might feel sad, frustrated, anxious or lonely. We might not yet even know what our real feelings are. Still, we sense that there can be a better path. Sometimes that way may be medicine, sometimes it may be skilled and professionally attuned talk.
