Psychiatrists Beginning With V in New York

Hello and Welcome. I'm Peter Valastro, a board-certified Family Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Saratoga, New York seeing patients in person or via telehealth. After graduating with a Master of Science in Nursing from SUNY Upstate Medical University, I found my true passion in treating individuals who are managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and ADHD. Currently treating patients from the age of 12 to 80 and taking new patients.

Hello. I am a board certified psychiatrist who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I see individual patients as well as couples and families. I completed my Residency training at Yale University and Fellowship at NYU School of Medicine, where I was chief resident and now am a faculty member.

Times of change and uncertainty can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from ourselves and others. Anxiety, depression and stress reactions can become common experiences. Psychotherapy offers opportunities to increase your understanding of why and how this happens as well as what to do about it. I work within an interpersonal and analytic perspective while incorporating the well known benefits of mindulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This combination creates curiosity, self-discovery and change. My style is warm, collaborative and flexible. You will find me actively involved rather than silent or distant.

I'm a psychiatrist for children, adolescents, and adults. I take a holistic approach to understanding how psychiatric distress develops, and also how to treat it. Sometimes a simple medication or a short course of talk therapy will make a world of difference, and sometimes you need a number of different supports to feel whole again. I'm here to help you figure that out, walking alongside you, and supporting you with an effective treatment that fits with your values and goals.

Clients from age 3 through the younger adult are provided thorough psychiatric evaluations with appropriate academic and testing recommendations, referrals to numerous community resources, alternative/supplementary treatment modalities where appropriate, medication evaluation and management and referrals for appropriate therapeutic support(s). I utilize genomic testing when appropriate or upon request.

Every patient seeking psychotherapy must contend with the irony that despite sincere efforts at self-knowledge, he or she feels helpless, frustrated and demoralized. Psychoanalysis is intended to repair and restore a full capacity for living and, with thirty years of experience, I can assert that this is exactly what it possible. Each patient needs to feel deeply supported and understood for it is out of such a genuine encounter with the analyst and with himself/herself that new self knowledge and a renewed optimism about life arises.

I see people as being made up of 3 components,Thinking, Feeling, and Willing. All 3 components need to be addressed in Counseling. Medication is only recommended when symptoms get in the way of daily living. When one becomes debilitated in the realms of work, home and self to the degree that functioning is painful and inadequate then relief is essential. Suffering can be useful but when it gets in the way of healthy development its time to make changes. I believe in a collaborative approach. I provide complete services to an individual including assessment medication management and counseling.

I provide psychiatric evaluation services, psychotherapy and medication management for children of all ages, adolescents, and adults. As a bilingual psychiatrist I can provide services in Spanish and English.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I also applaud you for being proactive on your journey to mental wellness. My ideal client(s) are anyone needing help getting to be (or back to) their best self! Perhaps you're a parent who can't find a provider to help with their small child's behavioral, emotional or attention issues. How about a teenager who is having a hard time in life? Or a person who has seen a plethora of providers ... I am well educated in psychopharmacology, constantly am learning of new medications and fully believe in the bio-psycho-social approach to healing and wellness. I can help!

I will work with you to understand how your patterns- both in relationships and in your own thoughts- impact your interactions with the world around you.
