About
Kim Gaitskill, MD, Adolescent and Child Psychiatrist in NYC
Are you seeking greater success at work or school, more peaceful and loving relationships, or knowledge of how to deal with certain life circumstances; or dealing with anything from anxiety, anger, bipolar, ADHD to psychotic issues? Whatever your personal situation, in your therapy my primary hope is to give you a safe haven to express your frustrations and confusion privately and openly. And, as your therapist, I not only listen and understand your pain, but I also provide you with new tools to make real life changes so you ultimately can achieve greater serenity, love and success in your life.
I combine psychodynamic therapy with various behavior-change oriented therapeutic tools, which simply said, is a process I use to hear your frustrations, find the root of what causes these frustrations (which you’ll be surprised typically repeat themselves in various aspects or events of your life), then I give you tools you can apply in everyday life to ultimately work towards permanent life changes.
Holistic-integrative psychiatry is my approach, and if medication is needed, my goal is to use it as a temporary means that eventually can be replaced with permanent changes in your own brain chemistry and new behaviors and thoughts.
I have extensive experience, education and training and am a board certified adult, adolescent and child psychiatrist, and psychopharmacologist in NYC on the Upper West Side (UWS) of New York, NY. My advanced training in child and adolescent psychiatry has been critical to my work with individuals of all ages as I am well grounded in the life steps of development that lead to a full and successful life in relationships, professional development and the resiliency to meet challenges in your future.
I began in private practice 20+ years ago and am recognized as a top Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist (rated by doctors and psychologists- www.psychatristsinnyc.com/reviews). And, because I have extensive experience helping young adults, college and high school students through life transitions, I’ve become a preferred psychiatrist for high school and college students seeking psychiatric care.
