Access expert psychiatric care from the comfort and privacy of your home. At Ficus Psych, we provide secure telehealth psychiatry appointments for children, teenagers, and adults living anywhere in the state of New York.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, sleep difficulties, mood changes, or other mental health concerns, virtual psychiatry allows you to receive personalized, high-quality care without traveling to an office.

Dr. Gregory Sayer is a double board-certified psychiatrist specializing in both adult psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry. He combines thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate, creating individualized treatment plans based on your goals, preferences, and the best available scientific evidence.

​

Virtual psychiatry offers a level of convenience and flexibility that traditional office visits often cannot. Instead of spending time navigating New York traffic, finding parking, taking trains or subways, checking in at security desks, waiting in lobbies, or navigating elevators, you can connect with your psychiatrist from the privacy and comfort of your own home, office, or another confidential location. This allows you to spend less time managing logistics and more time focusing on your mental health. It also allows individuals who live in parts of New York without as many specialists to access specialized treatment.
