Geoffrey Taylor MD

I am a Columbia University-trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist who treats both men and women from a comprehensive, whole-body perspective, paying close attention to your overall physical and mental health. I am double board certified in both general adult psychiatry as well as psychosomatic medicine, a subspecialty that focuses on the interaction between physical illness and mental health. I believe that optimal mental health care is highly individualized and I will work with you to understand and treat biological as well as social, psychological and relationship factors that contribute to your wellbeing.

COVID-19 UPDATE

My practice is located in downtown Manhattan, but for the safety and well-being of my patients, I am only practicing safe and secure telemedicine at this time.

CONSULTATIONS

I begin all treatment relationships with a thorough evaluation, understanding that treatment will be different for everyone. After a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms and your relevant medical and social history, I will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific goals. This evaluation may involve laboratory testing to identify if underlying medical problems are contributing to symptoms. I have training in multiple modalities of talk therapy, and my medical background allows me to incorporate medications when necessary.

I treat a wide range of mental health issues including mood and anxiety disorders, however, I understand that mental health cannot simply be reduced to a series of diagnoses. Many people experience significant emotional symptoms that emanate from everyday occurrences such as difficulty in relationships or in professional environments. Even universal emotions such as grief, jealousy or fear can become overwhelming. I understand this and will contextualize your symptoms into the broader context of your life.

Some people benefit from medication as part of their treatment, but that is not always the case. I will work with you to identify a solution-focused treatment plan which may include therapy, medication, or some combination. For patients who already have established relationships with therapists, I welcome the opportunity to partner with your therapist or counselor to provide you with medication management services. If you simply seek new perspective on your symptoms or current treatment plan, I offer isolated consultation services.

Contact

If this is an emergency, please reach out to emergency services. This contact form is for new patients to set up an initial evaluation. I will respond to you within 48 hours, and through a brief phone screen I will learn more about you and your needs.

Payments

I do not participate in any insurance plans. Payment for treatment is required at the time of each visit unless other arrangements are made with the doctor. Many patients have insurance plans with generous out-of-network benefits that provide reimbursement for a substantial portion of fees. The necessary documents for reimbursement filings will be provided.
