Psychotherapy and Medication Management for Children, Adolescents, and Adults
People come to treatment for all sorts of reasons — anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulty functioning at work or school, challenges in relationships, low self-esteem, or simply a desire to learn more about themselves.
As child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists with expertise in both psychotherapy and medication management in New York City, we help patients develop a treatment plan that meets their needs. Our style is guided by warmth and flexibility, with the goals of helping patients build insight and reduce symptoms.
We create individualized treatment plans, assessing patients' goals, unique life experiences, and biological risk factors. While medication is useful in some cases, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve lasting change through therapy. We have particular expertise in psychodynamic psychotherapy. We work with individuals, couples, and families.
