I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring. I strive for patient focused care and manage symptoms with medications that you feel comfortable taking. You set the pace of your treatment. I believe in informed and collaborative decision making.
As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:
- I listen first
- I believe in collaboration
- I treat the whole person
- Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
- There is no shame in seeking help.
- Progress is possible.
With a background in behavioral health administration and years of experience leading programs for adults navigating serious mental health challenges, I bring a deep, practical understanding of how care works and what people truly need. My private practice centers on a niche I care about deeply: adolescents, young adults, and college students navigating anxiety, depression, and the challenges of growing up and moving forward. I offer telehealth sessions in the evenings and on weekends, so support fits into your life, not the other way around.
Psychiatric provider with experience supporting children, adults, and older adults, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to your needs. Through comprehensive assessments, personalized screenings, lab testing, psychotherapy, medication management, and education, I empower you to understand your treatment and potential responses.
I’m Isaiah Crum, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist in New York City. I work with Black professionals who are excelling on paper and quietly struggling underneath. People navigating predominantly white spaces, carrying the weight of high achievement, and rarely getting room to not be okay.
I know that experience firsthand. I built this practice because you deserve psychiatric care that understands your life, not just your symptoms.
I am a Board-Certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of experience as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma-related conditions. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported.
I offer medication management along with supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and guidance on lifestyle changes to promote overall mental wellness.
My goal is to help you achieve stability, build resilience, and improve your quality of life. I look forward to working with you on your mental health journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ithaca
Finding psychiatrists in Ithaca starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to search for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid starting points, depending on your needs. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and approach to care before you book.
In a smaller city like Ithaca, local psychiatric appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to psychiatrists licensed in New York. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like mental health care in Ithaca, New York, and Tompkins County.
Psychiatric care in Ithaca can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before booking. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
