Welcome to Fifth Avenue Psychiatry

Fifth Avenue Psychiatry is a unique, private psychiatric practice located on the Upper East Side of New York City, specializing in the discreet treatment of alcoholism and addiction in professionals.  We also treat what are often the underlying causes of addiction: anxiety disorders, depression and ADD/ADHD.

Our approach is different from any addiction treatment program in NYC.  Our doctors  provide confidential, individualized, comprehensive care in one setting  that is tailored to the individual.  Addiction and alcoholism are addressed in a holistic way targeting compulsive behavior and its underlying causes which often include depression, anxiety disorders and ADD/ADHD.

Unlike many psychiatrists that only prescribe medication, or one size fits all addiction treatment or therapy programs, our practice is based on the research proven fact that patients who require mental health care respond best to a combination of therapy and medication. Our emphasis is on the integration of a psychotherapeutic approach with a limited and careful use of medication prescribed only when necessary.

The experienced team at Fifth Avenue Psychiatry specializes in individualized treatment.  Rather than try to fit you into a previously designed and rigid alcohol or addiction treatment program, we will collaborate with you and tailor your program to your needs and lifestyle.

Using this personalized and collaborative approach we implement evidence based medication and progressive  psychotherapeutic treatment modalities to address Alcoholism, Addiction , ADHD , Depression and Anxiety. Our diverse clinical staff is trained in a variety of treatment modalities and brings over 30 years of experience in the field.
