“I first consulted Dr. Michael DeMeo in June 2016 in a true state of depressive crisis. I had been through several psychiatrists, all of whom I felt were ineffective, wasting lots of my time and money. I could tell from the beginning that there was something different about Dr. DeMeo, and established a sense of trust with him.
Dr. DeMeo treated me like a person, not just a set of symptoms. He also identified symptoms that several other doctors had missed. We had several appointments before he made any medication recommendations, a welcome change from psychiatrists who often prescribe on the first visit. Soon after that I had my life back for the first time in over a year. I am like a new person and have Dr. DeMeo to thank for it. I'm not done, though. In addition to being a seasoned psychopharmacologist, Dr. DeMeo is also a skilled CBT/DBT therapist, and I will continue working with him to improve my life. In a city filled with lots of doctors who I felt were unable to help me I finally found some peace thanks to this truly gifted man. ”

Getting to know Dr. Michael De Meo
I specialize in the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Illness) and Addiction Illnesses. I have specific training and extensive clinical experience with the appropriate use of psychiatric medications and Cognitive Behavior Therapies, including DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I use CBT to help people master the skills necessary to overcome disorders in their personality that limit their ability to achieve optimal health, happiness, and a sense of purpose.
I earned my Doctor of Medicine from Cornell University and completed my Internship, Residency in Psychiatry, and Fellowship in Psychopharmacology at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. I am one of the few "Psychopharmacologists" who has actually completed a Psychopharmacology Fellowship. I have extensive experience using Suboxone for opiate detoxification and maintenance. I am an enthusiastic advocate of 12-Step Recovery Programs and use the 12-Steps as a "road map" in Recovery Therapy and Counseling.
My psychotherapy approach is best described as Biopsychosocial Spiritually Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a particular interest and expertise in treating early trauma and abuse and its consequences, including Codependence issues, chemical and behavioral addictions. I help people achieve personal redemption and forgiveness.
I practice as an "Out of Network" physician and do not directly take any insurance program. Payment is required at the time of service, and I will assist in every way in your getting reimbursed if you have out-of-network coverage.

Dr. DeMeo has been a lifeline for me. He really explains the chemistry behind our brain activities and how/why certain medications act on different areas. His office reminds me of a zen garden, with plants everywhere and great lighting. Zen is also how I feel after every session. Highly recommend him as a psychiatrist that knows what he is doing - not just haphazardly medicating.

Dr. DeMeo is an excellent psychiatrist. He listens without judgment, is honest and trustworthy, and provides powerful insight into thoughts and behaviors. When I have struggled with difficult situations or decisions in my life, he has offered sound advice and suggestions that have helped me tremendously.

I started working with Dr. DeMeo after a time of true crisis. He was immediately a voice of comfort and knowledge. He helped me to see that my past medical care was inadequate and in some cases even damaging. With his help I am recognizing that I played a large role in my poor treatment. I am learning self-care and self-advocacy based on his modeling of caring advocacy. Dr. DeMeo speaks frankly. He doesn't waste words and gets to the core issues. Unlike my previous experiences I feel like the doctor views me as a complete human being. His approach has been comprehensive and holistic. His office is filled with plants and art - it is a healing space. The wait time is minimal. I recommend Dr. DeMeo to anyone seeking excellent treatment and care.

Dr. DeMeo is a warm, soft spoken man with a lovely manner. He is an excellent diagnostician and has a state-of-the-art command of psychopharmacology. He describes everything clearly and concisely and is available if questions arise.
His office is fun and, unusual for a pharmacologist, he runs on time. It was certainly a positive experience.
