Online Psychiatrist Serving Manhattan
Expert psychiatric evaluations and medication management from a Board-Certified Physician.
Protect your time and privacy with comprehensive, evidence-based care delivered 100% virtually.
Convenient, Confidential Telepsychiatry
Exceptional Care To Match Your Needs
Living and working in Manhattan requires a high level of functioning, often at the expense of your own mental bandwidth. Whether you are navigating executive burnout, managing Adult ADHD, or seeking precise medication management for anxiety or depression, you need a physician who understands the context of a high-paced lifestyle in New York City.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Elchin Gajiev provides thoughtful, highly personalized psychiatry, with the deep, diagnostic scrutiny of an MD combined with the whole-person perspective of a DO. Because our practice is strictly private-pay and out-of-network, our caseload is deliberately limited. This ensures your care is never dictated by insurance constraints, giving you direct, unhurried access to top-tier psychiatric expertise.

Local Manhattan FAQs
Q: Do I need to be located in Manhattan during my virtual appointment?
A: You do not need to be specifically in Manhattan, but medical licensing laws require that you are physically located within New York State at the time of your secure video session.
Q: Do you collaborate with therapists in NYC?
A: Yes. Dr. Gajiev acts as your medical anchor, managing your neurochemistry and medications. He frequently coordinates care with therapists, psychologists, and primary care physicians across Manhattan and the greater New York area to ensure your treatment is cohesive.
Q: Are virtual psychiatric evaluations as effective as in-person visits?
A: For the conditions we treat—such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety—telepsychiatry has been consistently shown to be just as effective as in-person care. It offers the added benefits of deep privacy, zero commute time, and the comfort of speaking from your own environment. (Note: We do not treat severe substance use disorders or acute emergencies virtually).
