I am a licensed psychiatrist in NYC that is trained to treat adults with all psychiatric issues ranging from anxiety, Adult ADHD, Depression, OCD, low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, mood disturbances, sleeping difficulties, PTSD, other attention problems, relationship issues, work/life stress, and also offer Ketamine Infusion Therapy for resistant treatment depression. I have my own private practice in the Financial District in NYC and see other patients across New York State via Telepsychiatry. I provide psychiatric evaluations and comprehensive treatment which may include psychotherapy, life optimization coaching, cognitive and behavioral therapy, wellness checks, and medications. I also offer medication management to my patients, so you know what medications you are taking/side effects to get a better idea about all of the medication you are taking, and the goal of taking such medications.
My patients say that I have a pleasant bedside manner, but my military training also allows me to get right to the point. To my patients I am encouraging and emphasize on coaching/empowering them to optimize their life and start on the path to achieve their goals. I also collaborate with other treatment providers ensuring you get well-rounded treatment.
My office does not participate in any insurance plans as I am an out-of-network provider. You are welcome to use your health savings account or flex spending credit cards. We do provide a statement of service following the appointment; if you have out of network benefits you can use this statement to submit a claim for reimbursement with your insurance. Please expect a phone call from my patient care coordinator after you book your appointment so we can make sure my practice is a good fit for you.

Finding a good psychiatrist is difficult. Not only is the brain ?? the most complex organ in the human body, it is also affected by a myriad of environmental stressors. Dr. Ditzell has your back on both ends: not only does he have a deep knowledge of neurochemistry, he is also an Iraq veteran who helped soldiers manage the stress of being on the war front; that’s the type of experience you want from a psychiatrist: someone who has kept people mentally stable in the midst of war. Finally, Dr. D is humble, friendly, and caring: not like those stuck-up doctors that treats you as though you were a lab rat.
In short, if you are looking for a psychiatrist with a proven track record who is also not a prick, look no further: Dr. D is your guy. Hell, he got me from the brink of death from an opioid addiction—through zoom—to exercising every day, running two start-ups, and drafting a class action lawsuit against the biggest (and nastiest) landlord in the US and Europe. All in 2 months! Just imagine what he could do for you!

I am so glad I booked Dr. Ditzell—he is kind, intelligent, organized, professional, and personable. I felt comfortable and at ease the entire time—mainly because he often explains why he asks certain things. No other Psychiatrist has done that for me before. Also, his support staff is life-changing! They always call/email to ensure the appointment/prescription fills go smoothly. After meeting with Dr. Ditzell and seeing how smoothly he and his office runs, I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Highly recommended.

I actually messed up my appointment time, went in to see Dr. Ditzell a day early, and he was kind enough to see me nonetheless. Much appreciated!

This was my first visit to Dr. D. and I must say I was blown away. I have worked with many doctors good and bad and I was just impressed so far by Dr. D.'s advanced knowledge in his field, his approach to wellbeing as a whole, not just blindly writing scripts. I got a sense that he really cared and stood for my health.
Big advantage is that Dr. D. has a lovely Director of Patient Care Eileen who he delegates things like lab samples collecting or scheduling and paperwork minutiae allowing him to dedicate his time to his patients. Dr. D. also gave me his cell phone number as he does to every patient and assured me that he is absolutely always and easily reachable via call or txt be it in the middle of the night or a weekend.
His practice performs certain lab work right on the spot and that too is quite impressive. Dr. D. was curious about possible various vitamin deficiencies and other factors that contribute to wellbeing, instead of choosing an easy fix with just pharmaceuticals.
I have not yet received in quite many years such service as I did today with Dr. D. I left his office uplifted and really hopeful that I might have finally found a doctor who will improve my wellbeing beyond what other doctors provided me so far. And I have a good feeling that he very well might.
Be aware of a strict 48 hours cancellation policy, but hey sticking to commitments to your own health and making it priority might be the best thing you'd do for yourself.
Thank you Dr. D. and thanks Eileen!

A really great doctor. I feel like he has helped me get on track and not just pushed meds on me like so many doctors have. He's knowledgable and I feel confident that he knows me.

Oustanding doctor. At first meeting, Dr. D immediately set me at ease. He is perceptive, incredibly knowledgeable
and a pleasure to be around. Of all the (way too many) psychs I've had, he is the only one who has taken the time
know me and give a truly comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. The office has a lovely atmosphere, never a wait, never felt rushed. He promptly responds to emails/calls. I can't say enough. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. D for just over a year now and he has been a positive influence in my life. I often apply his useful guidance and even find myself sharing his advice with family and friends. Unlike other therapists he doesn't merely listen and ask questions, but engages in animated conversations, gives constructive advice and suggests immediate steps to effect change. Dr. D has truly helped me understand myself better, grow my confidence, improve my relationships and gain better perspective in my life. Highly highly recommended.
