These bios all start the same and sound the same. Since you're doomscrolling this, go on IG or TikTok, look up dralkatib—then come back if you're interested. At Psychiatry in Motion, we cut to the chase and we help our patients get better quickly. A diagnosis (ADHD, Anxiety) is just a collection of words used to bill insurance. We specialize in neurodivergence, burnout, and optimization. That means even if you're "healthy", we can help you level up.
We are In-Network with Aetna & UHC to make things easy and actively working on others. But we don't stop at baseline. We are not a medication vending machine. For patients who refuse to settle for "fine," we offer a blue print to optimize your life that's not covered by conventional sick-care.
We're not for everyone. But if you are ready to stop guessing with you well-being and start optimizing it, you're in the right place. This is modern psychiatry. This is Psychiatry in Motion.
Take the first step to help. Call or Dr. Ahmed Al-Katib now - (646) 960-3444

Treatment starts with the right diagnosis and a real look at your patterns—what you notice in yourself and what you don't. Poor attention doesn't always mean ADHD, and having anxious thoughts doesn't automatically mean you have GAD. The details matter.

I treat mental health like a biological architect. It's not just about prescribing the right chemical—it's about integrating your sleep data, metabolic labs, and movement mechanics into a unified, high-performance system.
