OUR APPROACH

A Holistic Approach to Mental Health Care

At Psych Matters, we believe lasting mental wellness requires treating the whole person — not merely managing symptoms. Mental health is shaped by a complex interplay of emotional, neurological, cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors. Our clinicians assess all of these dimensions and collaborate across disciplines to develop a truly integrated care plan.

We begin every relationship with a thorough evaluation that considers your clinical history, lifestyle, personal goals, and neurological profile. Where appropriate, we incorporate advanced brain-based assessments such as BrainView brain mapping to provide an objective, data-informed foundation for your treatment plan, moving beyond guesswork toward targeted, effective care from day one.

Our therapeutic modalities include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, and evidence-based interventions tailored to each individual. For patients seeking alternatives or complements to medication, our Neurofeedback Therapy program offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach with demonstrated effectiveness for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and sleep disorders.

“We don’t treat a diagnosis. We treat a person — with everything that makes them unique.”

Psychiatry & Medication Management

A Full Spectrum of Behavioral Health Services

The Psych Matters Midtown Manhattan clinic offers a comprehensive range of psychiatric and therapeutic services. Our integrated care model means your psychiatrist and therapist communicate and collaborate — so your treatment is always coordinated, consistent, and aligned with your goals.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist trained in CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. We match you with a clinician whose expertise aligns with your unique needs and treatment goals.

Couples Counseling

Structured support for couples navigating communication challenges, conflict, life transitions, or relationship enrichment. Our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and research-backed couples interventions.

Family Therapy

Facilitated sessions designed to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen family systems. We work with families navigating divorce, grief, parenting challenges, and the impact of a family member’s mental health.

Child & Teen Therapy (Ages 10+)

Specialized therapeutic support for children and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral challenges, school stress, and social difficulties. Our clinicians use age-appropriate, evidence-based interventions.

Psychiatry & Medication Management

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, and ongoing medication management by board-certified psychiatrists and APNs. We take a conservative, patient-centered approach and always explore the full treatment landscape.

Neurofeedback Therapy

A non-invasive, drug-free treatment that trains the brain to self-regulate using real-time EEG biofeedback. Clinically supported for anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and sleep disorders. Available standalone or combined with therapy and psychiatry.

BrainView Brain Mapping

An advanced, non-invasive assessment combining EEG, evoked potential testing, and cognitive evaluation to provide an objective, data-driven picture of brain function. BrainView results directly inform personalized treatment planning.

Telehealth Services

Secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual appointments with our psychiatrists, APNs, and therapists. Available to all patients across New York State. Same clinical quality, zero commute. Ideal for follow-ups, medication management, and ongoing therapy.

INNOVATIVE MENTAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES

Brain-Based Tools That Deepen Understanding & Expand Treatment Options

For patients whose needs go beyond traditional talk therapy, or who are seeking non-pharmacological alternatives and complements to medication — Psych Matters integrates advanced mental health technologies that bring a new level of precision and possibility to individual care.

Neurofeedback Therapy

A non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses real-time EEG biofeedback to train the brain to self-regulate its own electrical activity. Over a course of sessions, patients shift brainwave patterns toward healthier, more balanced states. Clinically effective for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, insomnia, and chronic stress — and increasingly integrated alongside psychotherapy for enhanced outcomes.

BrainView Brain Mapping

BrainView combines quantitative EEG (qEEG), evoked potential testing, and cognitive performance assessments to provide a comprehensive, objective picture of brain function. This neurological baseline helps your therapist and care team identify patterns that may not surface through clinical interview alone — and design a more targeted, precise treatment plan from the outset.

Titan-IR

This advanced infrared-based technology supports our diagnostic and treatment capabilities, offering a non-invasive approach to assessing physiological markers that may be relevant to your mental health presentation.

CXN ONE

CXN ONE supports integrated, connected care delivery across our clinical team — ensuring real-time coordination and full visibility into your progress across providers.
