I am a Manhattan-based board certified psychiatrist, therapist, and neuroscientist trained at Cornell, Penn, and Columbia. I specialize in the intersection between psychology, biology, and medicine.  I believe that treatment of mental health problems deserves an open-minded and empathic approach. My strategy combines personalized psychotherapy with current scientific knowledge.  I offer both medication management and a variety of psychotherapy modalities.  My practice is currently part of the psychiatry faculty practice at Columbia University:  https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/profile/michael-avissar-md
