Conditions

ADD & ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. ADHD, characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, can significantly impact functioning and development, often requiring intervention from a mental health psychiatrist.

Addiction & Substance Use

Addiction is a complex disease that can affect many areas of a person’s life. Addiction requires individualized treatments and modalities that address the symptoms and underlying causes of the disease, as well as the consequences that substance use has on different areas of a person’s life. This includes their ability to socialize, their physical and mental health, and consequences at work, home, school, or with the law. There are many types of therapy available to effectively treat addiction. Addiction therapy at integrative Psych in NYC recognizes the complexity of the disease, offering individualized treatments that address both symptoms and underlying causes.

Anger Management

It’s completely normal to feel angry. However, if you get angry frequently, it is intense each time, or it leads to hurting yourself or others, your anger may become a problem. With anger management, you can train yourself to recognize triggers that lead to your anger, temper your emotions, and improve self-control when it comes to anger. Addiction therapy can be effectively adapted to include anger management techniques, helping individuals recognize triggers, control intense emotions, and improve overall self-regulation.

Antisocial Behavior

Antisocial behavior refers to actions that violate social norms, disregard the rights of others, and conflict with accepted standards. It includes behaviors like aggression, deception, rule-breaking, lack of empathy, property destruction, and substance abuse. Addiction therapy can address antisocial behaviors, which often involve substance abuse and disregard for societal norms.

Anxiety

Autism

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition due to differences in the brain. Autism often begins early in life, from as early as 1-3 years old, and can last a lifetime; however, symptoms can improve over time. What differentiates those with ASD from most other people is the ways in which they behave, communicate, interact, and learn. A child psychiatrist in NYC can offer specialized support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them and their families navigate the unique challenges associated with behavior, communication, and learning.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition affecting approximately 1% of the population, with rates similar between men and women. Bipolar disorder is characterized by moderate to extreme mood symptoms, including mania and depression, which can last from days to weeks. A psychiatrist for depression can provide effective management and treatment strategies for bipolar disorder, addressing the extreme mood swings from mania to depression.

Complex PTSD

Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), or complex trauma, is like PTSD in many ways, but it specifically describes trauma that is formed over an extended period of time, rather than a single event over a short period of time. A psychiatrist for anxiety can provide specialized treatment for Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), addressing the unique challenges of trauma accumulated over an extended period.

Depression

High Functioning Anxiety

In other words, you may be good at masking your symptoms of anxiety. All types of anxiety can benefit from treatment, including high-functioning forms.

You may have panic disorder if you experience panic attacks frequently, and are fearful of when your next panic attack may be. Panic disorder is highly treatable. Several treatment options exist, including psychotherapy and medication treatment. A psychiatrist for anxiety can provide comprehensive treatment for panic disorder, utilizing both psychotherapy and medication to manage frequent panic attacks and the fear associated with them.

Trauma & PTSD

PTSD therapy is a type of psychotherapy that has consistently been found to be the most effective treatment of PTSD both in the short term and the long term. CBT for PTSD is trauma-focused, meaning the trauma event(s) are the center of the treatment. A mental health psychiatrist can employ trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to effectively treat PTSD, focusing on the traumatic events as the central focus of therapy, offering both short-term and long-term relief.

Treatments

EMDR Therapy

EMDR is a special type of therapy designed to help you recover from traumatic experiences. By moving your eyes in a specific way to process traumatic memories, you are stimulating your brain to target unprocessed or unhealed memories. Patients with depression, anxiety, addictions, and other emotional problems can benefit from EMDR as well. A mental health psychiatrist can integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into therapy sessions to help patients recover from traumatic experiences, addressing underlying emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, and addictions through targeted memory processing.

Family Therapy

The family is a complex system that involves relationships between parents, children, and extended family members. Family therapy aims to treat the overall family system by understanding the perspectives of each individual in the family. Each member may have their own life challenges, experiences, and strengths and weaknesses, that are all vital to the family dynamic. In family therapy, a mental health psychiatrist can work with the entire family unit to understand and address the complexities of relationships and individual challenges, enhancing the overall family dynamic and support system.

In New York, a mental health psychiatrist can offer gender affirming therapy, supporting individuals in aligning their emotional and physical selves with their true gender identity through various therapeutic interventions.

Grief Counseling

Dealing with loss can be agonizing. You may feel like you’ve lost a core part of yourself, and are left confused, or stuck. Some people may be able to heal with time, or with the support of friends and family. For others, it may not be so easy to move on with life. Through counseling, a trained therapist can help guide you through your thoughts and the process of coping and recovery, so that you will be able to resume life. A psychiatrist for depression can provide specialized counseling to help individuals navigate the complex emotions of grief, aiding in the recovery process and helping them resume their daily lives.

Light Therapy

Also known as bright light therapy (BLT), light therapy involves sitting next to a device called a light therapy box which gives off light designed to mimic natural outdoor light. Light therapy is most often associated with treating SAD, but can also be useful for treating major depression, eating disorders, bipolar depression, and ADHD in adults. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy could complement light therapy by enhancing mood regulation and addressing the underlying emotional disorders such as major depression or bipolar depression, offering a holistic approach to treatment.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help you with chronic depression and sadness. By combining mindfulness practices and attitudes with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), MCBT will train you to develop healthier and more substantial ways to deal with your emotions.

Ketamine IV infusion is the most common type of ketamine therapy and typically takes place over a number of individual hour long sessions, offering promising results under the guidance of a mental health psychiatrist.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of psychoanalysis and/or depth psychology, the primary focus of which is to reveal the unconscious content of a client's psyche in an effort to alleviate psychic tension, which is inner conflict within the mind that was created in a situation of extreme stress or emotional hardship, often in the state of distress.

Therapy Dog

Research has shown that the presence of a beloved pet or therapy animal can help a person control daily anxiety, regulate emotional arousals, and improve mood. Since therapy dogs are trained to be attentive to a person’s needs and offer unconditional love, they can often stabilize intense emotions. Therapy dogs, trained to offer unconditional love and support, can help individuals manage daily anxiety, regulate emotional responses, and improve mood, as research has shown. At our facility in New York, we're fortunate to have Cody, our certified therapy dog, who brings joy, comfort, and healing to those who need it most.

Addiction therapy in New York can provide crucial support as attitudes toward cannabis use evolve and legalization spreads, addressing both medical and recreational aspects.
