Advancing Mental Health Through Multidisciplinary Innovation

Evidence-Based Therapies & Programs

Our renowned team of behavioral health specialists, comprised of psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers, also utilizes sophisticated psychotherapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and trauma-informed therapies. Below, you will find a listing of our uniquely designed inpatient units, outpatient services, comprehensive emergency and crisis programs, psychiatric consultations for hospitalized patients and our full array of addiction treatment programs.

Adult Outpatient Mental Health

Our team of licensed professionals and clinicians includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors and licensed creative arts therapists who provide compassionate, evidence-based care across a wide range of mental and behavioral health conditions to adults aged 18 and older. These include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, trauma and stressor-related disorders, personality disorders, sleep-wake disorders and reproductive psychiatry.

Child & Adolescent Outpatient Mental Health

Our team of licensed professionals and clinicians includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors and licensed creative arts therapists who provide compassionate, evidence-based, patient- and family-centered care. We offer specialized treatment to children aged 4 and older, adolescents and their families for a range of emotional and behavioral problems, including adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), conduct disorders and depressive disorders.

Specialty Programs

The Montefiore Einstein Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has been at the forefront of developing an array of unique programs that bring together leading psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, geriatric psychiatry nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors and licensed creative arts therapists to deliver innovative, compassionate and evidence-based care for the full spectrum of mental health disorders and addiction issues.

Outpatient Addiction Programs

The Montefiore Einstein Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has a broad network of treatment programs providing compassionate, evidence-based outpatient care throughout the Bronx for adults and adolescents who suffer from a range of substance use disorders, including alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, benzodiazepines, heroin, fentanyl and other opiates, as well as co-existing conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders and others.

Montefiore Einstein Psychiatry Associates

Montefiore Einstein Psychiatry Associates offers in-person and convenient video therapy visits for children and adults, individuals and couples from every walk of life for a wide range of conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress. Grounded in innovation, research and empathy, we compassionately support healthy minds to create healthy lives for everyone.

University Behavioral Associates

University Behavioral Associates (UBA) works hand in hand with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to help patients overcome a wide range of substance use and behavioral disorders through our uniquely designed inpatient and outpatient services and treatments. The department also has a comprehensive emergency and crisis program, one of the most advanced neuropsychiatric service centers and an exceptional recovery plan for those with a dual diagnosis of substance use and psychiatric disorders.

Inpatient Psychiatry

Inpatient psychiatric services for adult and geriatric patients at Montefiore Einstein are provided within the general hospital at the Moses and Wakefield Campuses. Both units treat patients with a wide range of affective, psychotic and neuropsychiatric disorders. Our treatment team, which includes psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed creative arts therapists and nursing staff, collaborates to provide compassionate, evidence-based care and determine individualized treatment plans that include an at-home care plan once the patient leaves the inpatient program.

Intensive Outpatient Psychiatry Programs

The Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) provide intensive medication management and psychotherapy services for adolescents and adults with a range of mental health conditions who require a higher level of care. The IOPs are structured treatment options tailored for patients who are experiencing worsening mood and anxiety symptoms and need more support than traditional outpatient therapy.

Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry

Montefiore Einstein provides comprehensive psychiatric consultation services for patients hospitalized for medical, pediatric or surgical care at all three of our hospital campuses—Moses Campus, Wakefield Campus and Jack D. Weiler Hospital. The psychiatry consult team works closely with the patient’s primary healthcare team to diagnose and treat psychiatric issues that may arise during medical treatment and to ensure continuity of care for those patients diagnosed with both psychiatric and medical illnesses.

Transplant Psychiatry

The Montefiore Einstein Transplant Psychiatry team provides the highest level of intensive, expeditious, patient-centered clinical care for individuals before or after organ transplant procedures. Our experts understand the complex psychological, cognitive and emotional challenges that every patient faces before and after these procedures, and our multidisciplinary team endeavors to optimize recovery by identifying and addressing any underlying psychiatric conditions.

Emergency Psychiatry

Montefiore Einstein provides comprehensive emergency psychiatric services for patients who present to the emergency departments at Moses Campus, Wakefield Campus or Jack D. Weiler Hospital. This specialized mental health care is designed to stabilize patients who require immediate psychiatric intervention.

Women’s Mental Health

The Division of Women’s Mental Health at Montefiore Einstein is a specialized mental health service that provides expert care to women across the lifespan. While our focus is primarily on the life phases of preconception, pregnancy and the first year after childbirth, we also care for women with mental health disturbances related to the menstrual cycle and menopause.

High-Risk Care Management

The High-Risk Care Management team at Montefiore Einstein provides intensive care management to patients following discharge from an inpatient psychiatric unit or after an emergency room visit. Our program offers personalized care coordination and advocacy to promote mental wellness, improve health outcomes and guide patients through behavioral healthcare challenges.
