Sherman Alexander MD

A psychiatrist office sits along Central Park West, where the Upper West Side meets the park’s stately edge. 262 Central Park West #1G is the address—step off the sidewalk and inside Suite 1G to reach it. From anxiety and depression to mood disorders and life transitions, common concerns find space here alongside more specialized needs like adult ADHD or geriatric psychiatry. Medication management and brief supportive therapy are part of the offerings, while psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy round out the care menu.

The office handles initial assessments the same way it follows up sessions—with an emphasis on continuity. Expect time to discuss symptoms, triggers, and past history before any treatment decisions. Whether the goal is symptom relief or deeper self-understanding, the clinical focus stays practical. Follow-up intervals depend on each person’s plan, and referrals to outside specialists appear when a need arises outside psychiatry’s scope.

For an appointment, call (212) 579-2002 and staff will guide you through scheduling. Same-day openings rarely appear, but weekday coverage keeps the schedule from feeling rigid. Weekend availability stays limited; weekday evenings can sometimes open up if your schedule demands flexibility.

Use the map to plot your route across the park’s southern side before the city’s midtown bustle arrives. Subway lines along Central Park West drop you within a five-minute walk, while Crosstown buses pass every few minutes at 72nd Street.
