Welcome to my NYC psychiatry practice.

In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, it’s too easy to avoid or ignore the importance of our emotional well-being. Therefore, finding time to slow down; to focus on understanding our emotions, thoughts, and feelings is essential. It helps address the anxieties that hold us back from becoming our true selves.

Fitness for the mind.

Consider therapy as fitness for the mind. It is as important as eating well and doing exercise when getting physically fit. Furthermore, investing the time to identify what patterns from your past are causing present stressors or anxieties, enables you to enact the changes required to create a more balanced you.

As an NYC psychiatrist I provide a stigma-free, sanctuary from the trials and tribulations of city life.

Likewise, I provide a safe place for clients to decouple from the anxiety-driven world, especially to engage in enlightening self-exploration, respectful one-to-one conversation, and quiet reflection.

Finally, I aim to help my clients’ navigate their journey to mental health with patience, care, and compassion.

Therefore, if you are considering treatment or thinking about speaking to a therapist, I would be happy to schedule an initial consultation.

‘Dr. Algus has been a saving grace and been extraordinarily impactful during a difficult patch in my life.’

‘Most important, her treatment approach includes talk therapy and medication as needed. What's more, it also emphasizes practical, not-too-difficult-to-implement suggestions that I have found surprisingly effective.’

‘She is deeply smart and profoundly funny, as well as being highly compassionate. Moreover, her analytic training allows her to see beyond the surface of the statements you make in treatment, but not in a condescending or aggressive way.’

‘Most importantly to me, she listens with an open mind. What's more, she focuses her treatment plan on what is best for me.'

‘It was efficient, to the point, focused and helpful. Equally it felt personal. Aside from dealing with the issues with which I was seeking help, basically I appreciated Dr. Algus's interest in my life, ’

‘She's extremely practical. For example, and a lot of our treatment has centered on building structures that allow me to live the best life possible. Certainly, she couldn't talk Freudian theory all day; she could. However, at least with me, her treatment is focused on the day-to-day victories.’
