Dr. Kari Hancock, MD

Dr. Kari Hancock, MD

Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
NY
Hi, I’m Dr. Kari Hancock, a psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience working with both adolescents and adults. I help people find steadier ground in the middle of mental health challenges. Psychiatry isn’t just about medication. It’s about listening carefully, understanding your story, and finding practical ways to improve your life and how you feel. I’m curious about what matters to you, not just your symptoms. Sometimes that means talking through things, sometimes we'll explore medication. Often, it’s both. My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and in control of your mental health.

Getting to know Dr. Kari Hancock

Hi, I’m Dr. Kari Hancock, a psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience working with both adolescents and adults. I help people find steadier ground in the middle of mental health challenges. Psychiatry isn’t just about medication. It’s about listening carefully, understanding your story, and finding practical ways to improve your life and how you feel.

What should a new client know about working with you?

With over two decades in psychiatry, I offer evaluations and care plans grounded in evidence and real-world experience. I specialize in anxiety, mood, trauma, and attention-related concerns for adolescents and adults of all ages.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My role is to listen, understand what’s going on for you, and work together on a plan that feels supportive and manageable. I’ll meet you where you are and we’ll take the next steps together at a pace that feels right.
