At Psych Matters, we provide thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care designed to fit real life. Located in Midtown Manhattan near the Empire State Building, we offer both in-person appointments and telehealth across New York, making care accessible wherever you are. We specialize in psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and innovative non-medication treatments including neurofeedback and brainwave-based diagnostics. We work with patients ages 10 and up and accept most major insurance plans, helping individuals and families access supportive, practical mental health care with same-week appointments available when needed.
We frequently work alongside outside therapists and welcome referrals for medication consultations or neurofeedback treatment. For patients who already have a therapist, we coordinate care closely to ensure treatment stays aligned and collaborative. Our team values open communication with referring clinicians and continuity of care.
For patients who are not currently working with a therapist, our practice also offers in-house therapy services alongside psychiatric care. Many patients appreciate having therapy, medication management, and advanced treatments such as neurofeedback available within one coordinated practice, whether in person or through telehealth across New York.
