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.
