Dr Robert Schwartz

Psychiatrist

“I am a psychiatrist who specializes in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and and analysis with or without medication as needed.”

About Me

As a psychiatrist, I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy and analysis. I invite you to deeply explore long-standing patterns and experiences. We can uncover insights into your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. This helps you find new ways forward. My medical background allows for careful consideration of medication, if it might support your progress. This integrated approach suits those ready to delve into a thorough understanding of themselves.

Approach

Therapy here moves at a reflective, patient pace that balances curiosity with clear clinical focus. I meet with adolescents and individuals in New York or via secure online video, conducting sessions in English and keeping structure predictable to support learning. We attend closely to anxiety, mood shifts, compulsive patterns and body-image concerns by tracing feelings, meanings and relationship dynamics—I offer careful interpretations and discuss medication when it can stabilise or accelerate progress. Those ready to understand deep, recurring difficulties tend to find this collaborative rhythm useful.
