PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.

I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Staten Island, NY

Finding psychiatrists in Staten Island starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication; therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management often includes an evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your clinician. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and related concerns. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and care approach match what you want support with.

Local psychiatry options in Staten Island may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City, so virtual appointments can help expand your search while keeping care covered through your plan. Consider practical fit alongside clinical fit, including appointment times, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a psychiatrist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in the first visit.

Psychiatric care in Staten Island can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, check virtual and in-person availability, 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.
