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.

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 Syracuse
Finding psychiatrists in Syracuse starts with understanding what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you want to address and the kind of support you’re looking for.
In a smaller city like Syracuse, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New York markets, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how each profile describes their clinical focus. Psychiatry visits for medication management 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 each psychiatrist’s approach, communication style, and areas of experience.
Psychiatric care in Syracuse 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check whether they take your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review 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.
