Though I treat a broad range of issues, the most common disorders that I treat include ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. Very often these problems interfere with the patient's school perfor mance and may cause behavior problems at home as well. When inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, anxiety, or mood problems directly interferes with learning, or cause behavior issues that indirectly reduces a student's availability to learn, that student has an unnecessary impediment to achieving their full potential. The parents of my patients want their children to overcome these obstacles.

I started my career as a nurse in a state-run psychiatric emergency room where I treated patients along the entire spectrum of psychiatric illnesses; many of whom were in the most emotionally vulnerable time in their lives. Having experienced this severity of psychiatric illnesses everyday allowed me to develop a level of expertise to quickly recognize symptoms and develop an accurate diagnosis so we can initiate the best treatment plan for you from the very beginning. I understand that those suffering with emotional pain cannot wait months for relief, and they shouldn't have to. I understand the need for rapid healing.

Having mixed and complicated feelings about starting treatment is natural and hu man.
I completed my psychiatry residency at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. After residency, I went on to have a 2-year fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Mt. Sinai St. Luke's Hospital in NYC. Besides being in private practice, I am a professor at Stony Brook University where I supervise residents and medical students. I also serve as a psychiatrist in United States Army Reserve. While I believe in the importance of accurate diagnosis, I think people are much more than a diagnosis and require treatment that is individualized to their needs and circumstances.

Male Psychiatrists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
