For Patients

Managing a mental health condition is challenging, and getting care for it can be even more difficult. At ColumbiaDoctors, our goal is to help make your journey to getting the help you need as easy as possible. Whether you are looking for an individual therapist or psychiatrist, a consultation, or one of our specialized services, we will help you get the care you need and deserve. This guide covers the basics of how to get care with us. Here is how we can help.

Becoming a Patient

The first step for any prospective patient is to complete our initial intake screening, which is a 20-30 minute phone conversation with a trained member of our intake team. Our intake specialists are knowledgeable, sensitive, and responsive. They will obtain brief background information and history to better understand your needs.

Following the intake screening, our team will review to determine if we are an appropriate setting to provide an evaluation and discuss those details with you directly. We take pride in tailoring our recommendation to the individual while taking into consideration their unique needs and preferences.

To begin the process, please call 212-305-6001 or use our Online Form(link is external and opens in a new window) and our intake team will work with you.
