Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults, couples, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve trained across schools, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I bring a grounded, real-world perspective into the therapy space. My work is culturally responsive and shaped by a strong commitment to equity, identity, and whole-person care. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to grow.

I am a board certified psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent and adult psychiatry . I have 27 years of experience in practice treating patients with depression, anxiety , mood and bipolar disorders, ADHD, impulse control disorders , schizophrenia , obsessive compulsive disorder , post traumatic stress disorder , dementia and autism related mood and impulse control disorders as well as Somatoform and personality disorders

I believe therapy begins with creating a genuine connection, a foundation of trust, understanding, and openness. I also know how important it is to find a therapist you truly ‘click’ with; someone whose style and personality feel like the right fit for you. Over the past 15 years in the mental health field, including 5 years in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the everyday stressors of family, relationships, work, and life.

Hi, I’m Peter, and I’m really glad you’re here! I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and human — not intimidating or clinical. I have training in Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety, depression,ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I work at a pace that feels right for you, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged — just supported as you work toward feeling better.

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

With the use of therapy or medication I can treat you or your child so that impairments can be identified and the ability to function more easily is achieved.

My training allows me to diagnose and give treatment recommendations based on my assessment which consists of an evaluation gathering personal history, psychosocial and environmental stressors, and symptom review. I can help you understand the diagnosis and determine the cause of the difficulty with the use of medication or psychotherapy.

I am a double Board Certified Psychiatrist with Specialty Fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I completed my Adult Residency Training and Child and Adolescent Fellowship training at North Shore Long Island Jewish Hospital affiliated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2009 and 2011 respectively.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and I offer psychiatric services through Telehealth, allowing clients to attend appointments from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

Starting mental health care can feel overwhelming, and many people seek support when they feel stressed, stuck, or unsure how to cope. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly. Together, we’ll work to understand your challenges and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and lasting emotional well-being.
