On the care we offer

Individual therapy at this practice is not organized around a single modality applied uniformly to everyone who walks in. Your therapist draws on a range of evidence-based approaches and makes deliberate choices about which theoretical frame best serves your particular situation — and why.

Our therapists are independently licensed (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) and matched to your care based on your goals and the modalities best suited to them. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly to start.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills
• Psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy
• Trauma-focused care
• Perinatal and postpartum-specific therapy

Relational care at Bridge Street Medical proceeds from the recognition that two people in a room together are not simply two individuals who happen to be adjacent — they constitute a system with its own history, language, and patterns of repair and injury. Work with couples and families is structured to make that system visible and to help the people within it develop more deliberate ways of being with one another.

Relationships are part of behavioral health. Our couples and family clinicians are trained in evidence-based systemic and relational modalities, and care is delivered with the same evidence base as our individual treatment.

• Couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method-informed)
• Family therapy for adults and adult-child family units
• Parent guidance for adults navigating parenting under stress

Certain presentations require more than general outpatient support, and our specialty programs are designed to provide the structured, focused care that those presentations call for. Whether the work involves anxiety that has organized itself around specific situations, mood episodes that recur in identifiable patterns, or the particular weight of grief and loss, specialty programming at Bridge Street Medical brings a higher frequency and coordinated approach to people who need it.

Some conditions benefit from a clinician with focused training. Our specialty programs are organized around the diagnostic categories that present most often in adult outpatient behavioral health, staffed by clinicians with additional training in each area.

• Anxiety disorders
• Mood disorders
• Trauma and PTSD
• OCD
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions
• Workplace burnout

Psychiatric care at Bridge Street Medical begins with an evaluation that takes the time to construct a genuine clinical picture — not a symptom checklist matched to a code, but a conversation that accounts for history, context, and the patient's own account of what has changed. Medication decisions, when they are appropriate, are explained with the same depth of reasoning that went into making them, and they are revisited as your situation evolves.

Our psychiatric care is delivered by physicians who completed an MD or DO, a four-year residency in psychiatry, and who hold board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Visits are scheduled at the frequency your care requires.

• Diagnostic psychiatric evaluation
• Ongoing psychiatric medication management
• Coordination with primary care & specialty providers
• Care for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions
• Telehealth or in-person at your preference

Secure video sessions through Bridge Street Medical carry the same clinical weight as in-office appointments — the same clinician, the same length, the same documented continuity of care. For patients navigating New York's demands on time and geography, telehealth removes a logistical barrier without asking you to sacrifice the quality of the clinical relationship you have built.

Where clinically appropriate, both psychiatric care and psychotherapy are available through HIPAA-compliant telehealth. The same clinicians, the same care — delivered to wherever you can find a quiet, private space within your state of residence.

• Telepsychiatry medication management
• Teletherapy for psychotherapy and couples care
• Secure, HIPAA-compliant platform
• Equal-fee, in-network billing where your plan permits
