Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Welcome! I approach my work with clients from a relational, evidence-based perspective; while I want to use research-based interventions to help you in your therapy journey, I also recognize the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself. The space I try to build with clients is warm, supportive, humorous, and actively engaging. I see clients for both short and long term therapeutic interventions depending on need.

Hi — I’m John, and my mission is to help you get out of your own way. I earned my Master’s from SUNY Albany’s School of Social Welfare and have spent over a decade working with adults, teens, and families from every background — from New York to Oregon and back again. Together, we’ll challenge the worries, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back — so you can clear a path toward the life you actually want.

I believe we all need to be heard and treated with respect and dignity. Treatment involves us working together to get the best results.

Congratulations on your commitment to your mental wellness. With over 30 years in practice, I have worked with a wide range of clients and concerns. Many are high-functioning individuals navigating stress, loss, trauma, or life transitions, seeking more than symptom relief. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, even without a clear reason. I work collaboratively to understand your full experience and support meaningful change, integrating insight, practical strategies, and body-based awareness to help you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience across acute care, leadership, and education. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and complex mental health needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe in meeting people where they are and creating a safe space to be heard. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, supportive, and centered around your goals.

I am a dedicated mental health clinician with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of clinical needs. My work has included treating patients with substance use disorders, dual diagnoses, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), anxiety, depression among others. I have a strong background in both community-based mental health settings and outpatient substance use treatment programs, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Level 1 care.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual.
