Dr. Cecile Matip, MD, MPH

Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
NY
Being a mother of six children, I understand the importance of mental health and how challenging it can be to find the right doctor. One aspect of my practice involves helping patients of all ages reassess their current medication regimen or explore the possibility of tapering off their medication. While medication can be a useful tool in managing mental health symptoms, it is important to regularly evaluate its effectiveness and side effects, weighing the benefits and risks to determine if any changes are needed. If a patient is interested in tapering off their medication, I work closely with them to develop a plan that is safe and tailored to their individual needs. This may involve gradually reducing the dosage or exploring alternative treatment options. I believe it is essential for patients to be fully informed about their treatment choices. As a licensed psychiatrist, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and achieve their full potential. I believe mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or circumstances. That is why I offer online telepsychiatry services through my practice. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center, and hold a Master's in Public Health from Columbia University. These educational experiences have deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to my patients.
