Psychiatry and psychotherapy by video in New York
Roberto Figueroa, MD, PhD, is licensed to practice medicine in New York and offers video appointments to adults who are physically located in New York at the time of the visit. The practice is based in Los Angeles, so New York care is provided remotely rather than from a New York office.
Dr. Figueroa personally provides psychotherapy and can also evaluate and manage psychiatric medication when it has a useful role in treatment. For patients who want both psychotherapy and psychiatric expertise, this can allow the two parts of care to be considered together rather than divided between separate clinicians.
Later-day appointments for New York patients
Because the practice operates on Pacific Time, appointment times later in the New York day can sometimes fit naturally into the schedule. This may be especially useful for people in New York City who prefer to meet after the workday or who have difficulty making daytime appointments.
Availability varies, so please ask about later-day appointments when you contact the practice rather than assuming that a particular time is open.
A psychotherapy-centered approach
The work is centered on individual psychotherapy. Dr. Figueroa’s approach draws from psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness, with attention to both present difficulties and the patterns, relationships, assumptions, and conflicts that may give them meaning.
Medication is not treated as separate from the rest of the person. When medication is appropriate, decisions are discussed in the context of your symptoms, goals, prior experiences, preferences, and the broader therapeutic work.
Who can use online care in New York?
Online appointments are available for adults located in New York State at the time of the session, including patients in New York City. If you are traveling or expect to be outside New York for an appointment, tell the practice in advance so that the location and availability of care can be confirmed.
Appointments are available in English and Spanish. The first consultation is an opportunity to describe what brings you to treatment, ask questions about the approach, and decide whether the practice is a good fit.
