Care from one psychiatrist who knows your history

Medication Management

Evidence-based prescribing, reviewed regularly and adjusted as you change.

Medication works best when it fits the whole person: your history, your goals, your other medications, and how you feel day to day.

We start by reviewing what you've tried before and what did or didn't help. Then we build a plan together, start at a sensible dose, and check in often enough to catch side effects early.

• Initial prescribing and ongoing titration
• Side-effect monitoring and management
• Checks for interactions with your other prescriptions
• Deprescribing and taper planning when appropriate
• Coordination with your primary care provider and therapist

Later-Life Psychiatry

Care for older adults that accounts for medical conditions, memory, and medication sensitivity.

Mood, sleep and memory can change later in life, and the causes are often a mix of medical and psychiatric factors. Care starts by looking at the whole picture: other medications, medical conditions and recent lab work.

Older adults often do best with different doses and closer follow-up. We coordinate with primary care doctors, and with family members or caregivers when you'd like them involved.

• Late-life depression and anxiety
• Evaluation of memory changes and related mood or behavior changes
• Medication review for adults on several prescriptions
• Coordination with primary care, family and caregivers

Psychiatric Evaluation

A thorough first visit that looks at the full picture.

Your first visit covers your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, family history, sleep, substance use, and what you want to change.

By the end of your evaluation, you'll have a working diagnosis, a clear explanation of the reasoning behind it, and a plan for next steps.

• Comprehensive in-person intake
• Diagnostic clarification and second opinions
• A clear treatment plan and next steps
• Referrals to therapy and other specialists as needed

Telepsychiatry

Secure video follow-ups once you're established. Same standard of care, no commute.

Your first visit is always in person at our Central Islip office. Nothing replaces that first face-to-face evaluation.

After that, most follow-ups can be by secure video, with in-person visits when care calls for it. You need a private space, a phone or computer with a camera, and to be in New York State during the visit.

• Secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform
• For established patients, after an in-person intake
• Periodic in-person visits when clinically appropriate
• Available to patients located in New York State

Anxiety & Depression Treatment

Collaborative treatment for the two most common reasons people come to us.

Anxiety and depression are highly treatable, and many people feel meaningfully better within a few months of a well-matched plan.

We combine medication with practical guidance on sleep, activity and therapy, and we track progress with standard symptom scales so you can see it.

• Measurement-based care using validated symptom scales
• Treatment-resistant depression consultation
• Panic disorder and generalized anxiety
• Close collaboration with your therapist

Mood Disorder Care

Long-term partnership for bipolar disorder and other complex mood conditions.

Mood disorders respond best to continuity: a psychiatrist who knows your baseline, spots an early shift, and acts before an episode builds.

We focus on stability first, then on the quality of your life between episodes.

• Bipolar I and II management
• Mood stabilizer monitoring and lab review
• Early-warning planning with you and your family
• Seasonal and postpartum mood conditions

Supportive Therapy

Practical, supportive conversation built into your medication visits.

Medication works best alongside a conversation. Many of our visits include supportive therapy — practical, in-the-moment guidance on the stressors, habits, and thinking patterns shaping how you feel.

For structured weekly psychotherapy, we're glad to work with your current therapist, or we can suggest one. Either way, we coordinate so nothing falls through the cracks.

• Supportive therapy integrated into medication visits
• Practical coping and problem-solving strategies
• Works with your own therapist, or referrals if you need one
