Getting to know Dr. Hannah Krystal
I am a psychiatrist and candidate at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I provide medication management and several modalities of psychotherapy to treat a variety of conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and PTSD. My interests lie in treating the symptoms that make up diagnoses and working to alleviate other sources of distress in order to find a deeper sense of wellbeing. I also currently look for patients who are interested in participating in an intensive process of self-discovery and personal growth via psychoanalysis.
I am fluent in English and proficient in Spanish; therefore, while I can offer medication management in both English and Spanish, I provide psychotherapy services in English only.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to treatment is inspired by a wide range of approaches to the patient including psychodynamic theories that center around whole-person wellbeing. My approach centers around understanding and changing lifestyle choices and patterns that lead to distress and dissatisfaction with the goal of increasing your sense of an integrated personal identity with a coherent set of values, goals, and life practices. I use medication as a tool to help achieve these larger, person-centered goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The intake process typically takes place over the course of 2-3 sessions. I do not typically start a new medication, refill an existing prescription, or stop a medication you are already taking during the first session. Rather, we will spend 60 minutes getting to know each other. I will get a sense of your personal history, your treatment history, and your treatment goals. You will get a sense of whether I am a good fit for you. You are strongly encouraged to ask questions and feedback is always welcome. The first session will typically last for 60 minutes, while subsequent sessions range from 30 to 45 minutes. I do have a twenty-four hour cancellation policy except in instances where you have a fever or other significant illness or personal emergency.
