Getting Psychiatry in New York

State-specific details about access, coverage, and what to expect.

NYC wait lists and upstate access gaps

New York City outpatient psychiatry wait lists at NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and Weill Cornell often exceed three months for new patients. Upstate counties from the Adirondacks to the Southern Tier face HRSA-designated shortage areas with few practicing psychiatrists.

Our New York-licensed clinicians deliver telepsychiatry statewide: five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. First visit is a 30-minute video evaluation on Eastern Time. Prescriptions go to Duane Reade, CVS, Wegmans, or your local pharmacy.
