OUR STAFF

Dr. Rajiv Bhatia is a board-certified psychiatrist who began seeing clients at Therapy Center of New York (TCNY) in December 2023. He is an Attending Psychiatrist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, combining hands-on clinical care with teaching and academic medicine. This dual role keeps his practice grounded in current, evidence-based standards.

Dr. Bhatia provides both medication management and therapy, and he has extensive experience working with children and adolescents alongside adults. He previously served as Psychiatric Director of the School-Based Mental Health Program at P.S. 8 in New York City and as a Consulting Psychiatrist with the Butler Center for Children & Families. That background gives him particular insight into the developmental, family and school-related factors that affect young people's mental health, as well as the challenges adults face.

At TCNY, Dr. Bhatia helps clients facing a wide variety of challenges, with a treatment plan built around each person's history, goals and circumstances. Because he offers medication management, he is a strong fit for clients seeking psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication oversight, whether on its own or alongside therapy. His experience across hospital, academic and school-based settings means he is comfortable coordinating care and communicating with families, schools and other providers when helpful. Care is available to clients in New York through secure telehealth and in-person scheduling as available. To learn more about his current availability and the specific concerns he is taking on, prospective clients are encouraged to contact the TCNY administrative team, who can also confirm insurance and scheduling details.
