Psychiatric Support for Men in New York City
Men often seek psychiatric care during periods of transition—marital strain, divorce, career pressure, or changes in family roles. These moments can challenge emotional stability even in men who have functioned well for many years.
In her Upper East Side practice, Dr. Anna Wachtel provides careful, individualized psychiatric care for men navigating complex life transitions in New York City, with a focus on emotional regulation, clarity, and sustained functioning.
This work is not about labeling or pathologizing. It is about helping men remain grounded, present, and effective during periods of significant stress and change.
Common Concerns Addressed
Men often seek care for concerns such as:
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Emotional fatigue, irritability, or withdrawal
- Divorce and separation adjustment
- Work-related burnout and decision fatigue
- Sleep disruption and difficulty concentrating
- Parenting stress during periods of transition
These concerns frequently overlap and may evolve over time. Treatment is tailored to the individual rather than to a single diagnosis.
What Treatment May Include
Psychiatric care with Dr. Wachtel may include:
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
A careful assessment of emotional symptoms, stressors, medical history, and life context. - Thoughtful medication management as a core part of care
Medications are selected and adjusted deliberately, with attention to effectiveness, side effects, and overall functioning. - Supportive and insight-oriented psychotherapy integrated with medication treatment
Psychotherapy is used to support emotional regulation, perspective, and decision-making, working in concert with medication rather than as a separate track.
Care is collaborative, practical, and respectful of each patient’s values, responsibilities, and pace.
Who This Service Is For
This service is well suited for:
- High-functioning professionals managing sustained stress
- Fathers navigating separation, divorce, or co-parenting transitions
- Men balancing demanding careers with family and relational strain
- Men seeking clarity and stability rather than crisis-driven care
Many men who seek treatment continue working and parenting actively while engaging in care.
