Getting to know Dr. Michael Franco

Michael was born and raised in Brooklyn, and his strong connection to his community and upbringing continues to shape both his worldview and his thoughtful, culturally aware approach to care. He graduated as Valedictorian from both elementary and high school, went on to graduate as Salutatorian from Brooklyn College through the Macaulay Honors Program and B.A.-M.D. track, and completed his medical education and Psychiatry Residency at SUNY Downstate. The breadth of his clinical training is rare even by residency standards. That training spans consultation-liaison psychiatry, inpatient and outpatient care, child and adolescent psychiatry, emergency psychiatric services, ketamine treatment, and addiction psychiatry, cross SUNY Downstate, Kings County Hospital, the Brooklyn VA Medical Center, South Brooklyn Health, and Lenox Hill Hospital. He brings all of it to bear in a treatment approach that combines thoughtful medication management with supportive psychotherapy and practical CBT and DBT tools patients can start using right away. His framework is holistic and biopsychosocial, grounded in the understanding that physical and mental health are rarely separate conversations. What also sets Michael apart is how he thinks about the space between clinical science and human meaning. He hosts a podcast, Spiritual Psychotherapy, exploring the intersection of Eastern and Western approaches to mental health, and gives lectures at synagogues throughout Brooklyn. Outside of work, he plays tennis, follows the Yankees, and recharges through nature, sauna, and cold plunge. That curiosity about the whole person — not just the diagnosis — comes through in every session. Michael sees patients via telehealth throughout Texas and New York and in-person in our Midtown Manhattan office and will soon see patients in Brooklyn as well.
