Kaufman Charles A MD

Psychiatry in Upper Manhattan means finding a provider who fits your specifics. Dr. Charles A. Kaufman maintains an office on Fort Washington Avenue, a departure point for many patients heading toward NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the George Washington Bridge. Medication management and talk therapy anchor the offerings here. Reevaluation and follow-ups are routine, along with brief targeted interventions for common mood disorders. Action and exposure plans sometimes appear in the mix, when situational tweaks seem preferred. Couples can book joint sessions under the same roof.

The street itself runs between West 161st and West 168th, putting you a block west of the A train. Between grants-related traffic and school drop-offs, parking varies; ride-share drop-offs are usually smooth. Virtual check-ins can substitute when an in-person slot clashes with your schedule. Cognitive behavioral tools show up often, but only at the pace a patient selects. Another recurring option is psychiatric consultation for primary-care doctors who need specialist notes without a full transfer. Insurance acceptance differs by carrier; a quick call ahead saves guesswork.
