“Knowledge NP! Really helped me find the best plan of care for myself. Kind, patient, informed. What else could you want in a mental health provider? Don’t think about it, if she takes your insurance book the appt! ”

Getting to know Christine Chollak

*PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT OFFER THERAPY APPOINTMENTS* Instead, I provide medication management services and complimentary supportive therapy. *I am only able to treat patients located in NY state.* As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's in Nursing from Vanderbilt University, I am trained to utilize medication management to treat mental health disorders in a supportive and compassionate environment. I work with individuals to identify safe and appropriate approaches that align with their preferences and goals of treatment. I believe in transparent communication and collaboration so that every patient feels heard and empowered.

What should a new client know about working with you?

After working with many different populations, I have come to adopt a comprehensive, patient focused, and evidence-based treatment approach rooted in interdisciplinary care. I believe this holistic and multi-modal framework is particularly well suited for helping patients achieve diverse health goals. Please note: I have a 48 hour cancellation policy which is applicable to new patient appointments and follow ups; outlined in intake documents.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I provide comprehensive evaluations and collaborative treatment planning for every new patient, with an eye toward integrating psychotherapy and pharmacologic modalities as appropriate.

My experience was very good and the visit went smoothly. Christine was efficient and answered all of my questions directly. I would recommend this provider.

Christine was fantastic - my doctor who'd prescribed my meds for the last 24 years became unreachable, and I was overwhelmed finding someone new. She listened, understood, and was able to prescribe the same medicines I'd been on for decades, putting my mind at ease. She also called *right* at the scheduled time, which I really appreciated!
Verified patientVideo visit
100% recommend Christine. She took her time to really understand my concerns, clearly communicated my options and next steps. She reached out ahead of time and throughout the process was professional, kind, thorough and thoughtful.

Dr. Chollak is a great listener and always on time. She cares a lot about my problems and is always open to new treatment plans. I appreciate that she allows me to ask questions about new medications I am interested in or an alternative plan. Other doctors I have seen are very keen on their way or the highway. Highly recommend!

She has been a wonderful psychiatrist for me. She listened to me throughout every need and concern, helping me address issues that many of my past psychiatrists have ignored. I am so sad I have to switch away from her as my insurance is no longer the same and isn't covered. She is so amazing I would love to continue with her!

My impressions from my first appointment is that she has really well rounded, up to date, we’ll informed approach. She’s an active attentive listener and is not shy about offering supportive therapy along with medication management. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her after a long grueling search for a new psychiatrist.

Christine was easy to schedule an appointment with. She was very thorough and easy to talk to. I hope to continue working with her in the future.

Christina was great. She asked relevant questions, answered all of my questions, and has a very logical approach to medication(not changing more than one thing at a time). I would definitely recommend her.
Verified patientVideo visit
I would not recommend this provider because she cannot prescribe common medications for ADHD and the scripts she wrote were rejected by my insurance, which requires a 90-day supply. She did not disclose her Rx limitation until the final minutes of our session. I was fooled by BCBS, ZocDoc and Headway.co -- every directory that lists this NP for medication management. I was required to create accounts and supply PCI on multiple apps -- all of that effort and disclosure was a waste. A pleasant personality is not enough if the provider cannot provide. I have run out of an anti-depressant known for its nasty withdrawal symptoms. I will be scrambling on Monday to get an appointment with an MD psychopharmacologist. I won't bother trying to find in-network because they don't exist.

She was wonderful!

Christine was incredibly sweet and understanding. She asked clear questions and made sure to get me the necessary help that I wanted. She smiled the whole time, and I cant wait to have her as my regular psychiatrist now!
Verified patientVideo visit
She was super helpful and saw me right on time over the Telehealth interface. She did a good job answering my questions and advising me in terms of my treatment plan. I will definitely be seeing her again! :)
Verified patientVideo visit
Christine was simply amazing. It was a remote appt. and the meeting itself and prior intake documentation was extremely simple to set up. As someone who has worked with other psychiatrists, I often feel they are only half listening and unwilling to explore new options. Christine was a fresh of breath air - she listened well, asked thoughtful and valuable questions, and explored alternatives. I’m so happy with my appointment and will continue to meet with her for a long time.
Verified patientVideo visit
Christine was knowledgeable, good at listening to my goals, and was very sweet. She will be taking over for my other psychiatrist since I moved to NY now. We will be checking in monthly and go over my medications and any concerns that I might have.Thank you!

I had a television with Christine Chollak and she was great!! She took her time and was very thorough and compassionate. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Very professional, very open and honest and educational. She knows what she is talking about and makes you feel at ease about your mental health.
Verified patient
Nice doctor. She was efficient and took a detailed history. Wait time was extensive. They seemed disorganised on the day I visited. They asked for my insurance card at least three times, I had also emailed it the day before as they requested. And they didn’t have it. I had filled out forms online ahead of time but they didn’t have it on file so I had to do it again. Maybe was a busy day? But wasn’t the best experience.
She was so helpful and attentive, clear and easy to talk to, and I felt great about how we left things with a plan going forward.
Verified patient
A wonderful healthcare practitioner! She asks the right questions and seems well trained. She’s open to discussion and listens to her patients which most don’t. I’m really grateful I got to work with her today.
Verified patient
Very professional!! Would recommend recording the meetings instead of typing during visits because it takes away from the patient feeling they're being paid attention.
