A team built to treat the whole picture

Every clinician here is a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner who coordinates medication, therapy, and lifestyle care on one plan. You're choosing from clinicians who handle the full picture themselves, not a prescriber and a separate therapist who rarely compare notes.

key takeaways

The short version

Our clinicians are board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners trained at leading academic medical centers, and each one coordinates your medication and therapy together.

We work with you to match you to the clinician best suited to your goals, your approach, and your fit.

One clinician handles your full plan, so there are no handoffs between a separate prescriber and therapist.

The practice houses clinicians affiliated with NIH, Columbia University, and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and our care model is grounded in peer-reviewed research.

finding your fit

How we match you with the right clinician

Getting the right clinician from the start is one of the highest-leverage decisions in psychiatric care. The relationship between you and your clinician is among the strongest predictors of how treatment goes, so we treat matching as the first clinical decision, not a scheduling one.

It starts with a conversation with our Patient Care Coordinator about your needs and expectations. The next step is the Sigmund Assessment, a structured evaluation of your full clinical picture that your clinician reviews before your first appointment. Matching weighs four things:

01

Clinical focus

Matched to a clinician with the right training and experience for your case.

02

Treatment approach

Whether you fit best with CBT, DBT, ERP, or an integrated medication-plus-therapy plan, the assessment is the first step in holistic treatment.

03

Communication style

Some patients want an analytic clinician; others want warmth and relational depth. We have clinicians who excel at each.

04

Cultural and identity fit

Culturally informed care is more effective care, so the context that matters to you is part of the match.

You have a say throughout. If the fit isn't right, we'll talk it through and find a better one, carrying the profile from the Sigmund Assessment across so your new clinician starts informed. Matching is Step 2 of the Integrative Method, our four-part model of integrated care.

beyond the clinic

A team grounded in research

Our care model was developed through academic research, not only observed in the clinic. Dr. Ryan Sultan, Director of the Sultan Lab for Mental Health Informatics, has published peer-reviewed work on ADHD and cannabis use disorder that informs how we assess and treat. For patients who want to look deeper, the research is open to explore.

quick answers

Frequently asked questions

What credentials do your psychiatrists and therapists hold?

The team is made up of board-certified psychiatrists (MD) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNP-BC), several also holding the DNP, APRN, or MSW. They trained at academic centers including Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Emory, and the practice maintains affiliations with NIH, Columbia University, and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Both psychiatrists are dual board-certified in adult and child psychiatry.

Yes, and that's how we're built. Our psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are trained in both medication management and evidence-based therapy, so one clinician coordinates your full plan with no handoffs. In the rare case where two clinicians serve you better, both work from the same profile, built from the Sigmund Assessment, and adjust together.

Your patient care coordinator talks through what you're looking for. Once you're matched, the team can arrange a brief introductory call with your recommended clinician if you'd like one before your first full session.

Our goal is to get the match right the first time, but fit sometimes takes a session or two to become clear. If something isn't working, tell your clinician or the care team and we'll find a better fit. The profile from the Sigmund Assessment carries over, so your new clinician starts already understanding your case and you don't restart from zero.

Yes. We see patients in person at our Manhattan office, and by telehealth anywhere in New York State. Telehealth is regulated by the state you're physically located in during the appointment, so availability with a given clinician depends on where they're licensed.

Crisis Resources: We are not an emergency treatment clinic. If you or a loved one is in crisis, call 911, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), or go to the nearest emergency room. Integrative Psych is an outpatient practice and is not equipped to provide crisis intervention.
