Monique James, MD - MSK Psychiatrist

Monique James, MD navigates the busy intersection of mind and body every day. In a city that often feels like it runs on adrenaline, she carves out space for something quieter: psychiatric care focused on the interplay between musculoskeletal health and mental well-being. The office sits at 160 E 53rd St, New York, NY 10022, a Midtown perch where the pulse of Manhattan hums just outside the door.

As a MSK psychiatrist, Dr. James treats conditions that bridge physical discomfort and emotional strain—chronic pain’s shadow on mood, anxiety that tightens muscles, depression that slows movement. She blends medication management with talk therapy, often coordinating with orthopedists or physiatrists to untangle overlapping symptoms. The work isn’t just about diagnoses; it’s about helping patients reclaim control when their bodies and minds feel out of sync.
