“Dr Cummings was EXCELLENT. Listened, asked all the appropriate questions and reached an exact diagnosis and cause of my underlying problems. Thoroughly explained the detailas of her recommendations for therapy and adjustment of the medicine I was already taking. Dr Cummings arranged therapy treatment and follow-up with her.
The experience far exceeded all of my expectations for a zoom call for an initial visit with a doctor. I could not have been more pleased”

Getting to know Dr. Natalie Cummings
Dr. Natalie Cummings is a board-certificated adult psychiatrist, and board-eligible geriatric psychiatrist. She obtained her medical degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and completed her residency training in psychiatry at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Hospital. She then went on to complete her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. During her fellowship, Dr. Cummings participated in Mount Sinai’s Visiting Doctors Program, providing patient-centered and compassionate care to homebound elder adults in New York City. She also received training at Coler Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center on Roosevelt Island during her fellowship, and presented at the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry annual meeting.
Dr. Cummings primarily focuses on medication management and supportive psychotherapy, but has extensive training in utilizing various therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, reminiscence therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. When appropriate, Dr. Cummings will refer for more extensive psychotherapy and/or collaborate with your established psychotherapist for comprehensive care. She strongly believes that addressing psychosocial and interpersonal factors (including relationship health, economic stressors, social isolation and loneliness) is as essential as pharmacologic management in treating mental health conditions. She has particular experience and interest in treating older adults and those suffering from memory disorders, but provides treatment for a variety of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma-related disorders and substance use disorders.

I would never use again. i went through the whole process and the appointment was cancelled last minute. The reason was we are not a good match. How do you know that with out even talking to me.

The session was canceld by the doctor the same day I made the appointment. They said there was a conflict.
I really have nothing to comment on as long as I am not billed.
I only answered the questions because I was persistantly asked over and over to comment on a session that was canceled by doctor.
The LOW ratings mean nothing because the session was canceled.
