Family Therapy Psychiatrists in Northport, NY
I use CBT most often, but do Aversion Therapy, DBT, Inner Child Work, Internal Family Systems, I work with Trauma Victims and prepare them for EMDR with a Trained Practitioner, and others.
If you are here, and reaching out, know that you are doing a difficult, but very healthy thing. I am very proud of you. Baby steps....of course it isn't easy. It isn't supposed to be. As human beings, we have a million and one ways to hide our pain from the world. In many ways, that cloaking is protective and serves a real purpose. But, as time goes by, the pain or trauma begins to present in ways that we did not expect. Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Acute Panic Attacks, Anger, and many more mental health challenges rear their heads and do not go away until we process the trauma and it begins to melt away.

FAQ - Family Therapy Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide family therapy?
Some psychiatrists do provide family therapy as part of their practice, but it is less common than individual treatment. While all psychiatrists are trained in psychotherapy during their training, most focus their practice on individual medication management and one-on-one therapy. Family therapy is typically the specialty of licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and psychologists who have more dedicated training in family systems and group dynamics.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a family therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who can prescribe medication and provide medical evaluations for mental health conditions, while a family therapist focuses exclusively on therapeutic interventions without the ability to prescribe medication. Family therapists (often licensed as LMFTs or LCSWs) complete master's level training specifically in family systems theory, which examines how family members interact and influence each other's behavior and emotional well-being. Psychiatrists receive medical training that focuses more on the biological, rather than relational, aspects of mental illness.
Do I need an individual psychiatrist or a family psychiatrist?
What kind of mental health clinician is needed depends on the nature of the problem you are facing. Individual psychiatry is better when you have specific psychiatric symptoms (like panic attacks, mood swings, or psychotic symptoms) that require professional diagnosis and potentially medication. Family therapy provided by a psychiatrist, in contrast, may be a good fit when problems manifest in family relationships, such as parent-child conflicts, communication challenges, or adjusting to major family transitions like divorce or grief. In some cases, it may be appropriate to see both an individual and a family psychiatrist if there are individual and relationship-related concerns in a family simultaneously. For example, a teenager with depression might see a psychiatrist for medication and symptom monitoring while the entire family attends therapy together to improve communication and support the teen's recovery.
