Teresita D. Ruiz

Psychiatrist offices line this stretch of West 82nd Street. A discreet entrance near the corner of Columbus Avenue offers a straightforward start. Teresita D. Ruiz practices at 2 W 82 St, New York, NY 10024.

She accepts a wide spectrum of needs—depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and life transitions—without requiring a formal diagnosis upfront. Couples and families also meet here to address communication patterns before small issues grow larger. At the same time, medication management sits alongside talk therapy for whoever needs both. The office stays open weekdays for ongoing care, and new patients sometimes find intake slots within two weeks. They can reach out by phone at (718) 612-6816 to arrange an initial conversation.
