GARDEN CITY OFFICE
Finding the right psychiatric care in Manhasset can be especially important when anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or sleep problems begin affecting your work and personal life. Many high-performing professionals become accustomed to functioning through difficult periods, often putting off treatment until symptoms become harder to manage. A thoughtful psychiatric evaluation can provide a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and what treatment options may be appropriate.
At The Lieberman Center for Psychotherapeutics, we provide individualized psychiatric care for adults, including executives, attorneys, physicians, healthcare professionals, business owners, and others managing demanding careers and complex personal responsibilities. The practice is led by Brad Lieberman, JD, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner trained at Columbia and Johns Hopkins and a former attorney. He conducts psychiatric evaluations, makes diagnoses, and prescribes and manages medication for adults across New York State. Appointments are intentionally structured to allow time for a meaningful clinical conversation rather than reducing care to a brief prescription check.
Our Garden City office is conveniently located for patients in Manhasset and surrounding North Shore communities, while secure telehealth is available for eligible patients throughout New York State. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, depression, burnout, sleep difficulties, or another mental health concern, treatment begins with understanding your individual circumstances rather than assuming a standard solution will work for everyone.
Psychiatric symptoms can affect every part of your life, from concentration and sleep to relationships, decision-making, and your ability to enjoy time away from work. At The Lieberman Center, treatment is tailored to the individual and may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and additional testing when clinically appropriate.
Anxiety can become difficult to manage when worry follows you from the office to home and continues affecting your sleep, concentration, and relationships. Some people experience constant rumination and tension, while others may have panic attacks, avoidance, irritability, or a persistent feeling that something is about to go wrong.
Our approach to anxiety treatment begins with understanding the nature of your symptoms and how they are affecting your daily life. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication when appropriate, or a combination of approaches. We also consider factors such as sleep, stress, medical history, medications, and lifestyle when developing a treatment plan.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Rather than simply discussing problems, CBT can help you recognize patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, avoidance, or chronic stress and develop more effective ways of responding.
For professionals accustomed to solving problems and making decisions, the structured nature of CBT can be particularly useful. Treatment may focus on excessive self-criticism, perfectionistic thinking, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of failure, decision-making under pressure, or patterns of avoidance. The goal is to develop practical skills that can be applied outside the therapy session.
Depression does not always present as sadness. In people who continue performing at a high level, it may be easier to overlook. You might notice that you are less interested in things you previously enjoyed, feel emotionally disconnected, struggle to concentrate, have less energy, or find ordinary responsibilities increasingly difficult.
Our depression treatment focuses on understanding the factors contributing to your symptoms before determining an appropriate course of treatment. Depending on your circumstances, this may involve psychotherapy, medication management, or both. We also consider sleep, medical conditions, medications, substance use, and significant life or professional stress when evaluating persistent changes in mood and motivation.

Medication can be an important part of psychiatric treatment, but it is not appropriate for everyone and should not be approached as a quick fix. When medication is indicated, we consider your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment experiences, potential side effects, other medications, and individual treatment goals.
The Lieberman Center offers 30-minute follow-up medication-management appointments, providing more time to evaluate how you are responding to treatment and make thoughtful adjustments when necessary. For some patients, pharmacogenomic testing may also be considered. These tests can provide information about genetic variations that influence how certain medications are metabolized, although results are only one factor in making clinical decisions and cannot predict with certainty which medication will work best.
A demanding career can make mental health symptoms difficult to recognize. You may still be meeting deadlines, managing employees, seeing patients, appearing in court, or running a business while privately feeling exhausted or overwhelmed.
For some patients, the first signs are subtle: difficulty sleeping, increased irritability, persistent worry, loss of motivation, trouble concentrating, or feeling emotionally detached. Others may experience more noticeable symptoms, including panic attacks, significant depression, or an inability to recover from chronic stress.
The Lieberman Center works with professionals who want psychiatric care that takes these circumstances seriously. The purpose is not to turn mental health into another performance metric. It is to understand what is happening, determine what may be contributing to it, and develop a treatment approach that supports your health and functioning over the long term.
The Lieberman Center’s primary office is located in Garden City, NY, making it accessible to patients traveling from Manhasset, Plandome, North Hills, Roslyn, Great Neck, and other North Shore communities. For patients who prefer to meet remotely, secure telehealth appointments are available for eligible patients throughout New York State.
For many professionals, telehealth can make ongoing psychiatric care easier to fit into a demanding schedule. An appointment from home or a private office can eliminate unnecessary travel while maintaining continuity of care.
Whether you choose an in-person appointment or telehealth, the emphasis remains the same: a thorough evaluation, individualized treatment, and enough time to address the issues that brought you to care.
The Lieberman Center primarily operates as a private-pay psychiatric practice. This model allows the practice to structure appointments independently of insurance billing requirements and gives patients the option of seeking out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance carrier when their plan provides that benefit.
The current fee for an initial 60-minute psychiatric evaluation is $595, and 30-minute follow-up and medication-management appointments are $375. Superbills are available for patients who wish to submit eligible expenses to their insurance provider, and Reimbursify can be used to simplify the reimbursement process.
Insurance benefits vary considerably, so patients should contact their insurance company directly to determine whether their plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits.
Consider the clinician’s training, prescribing authority, treatment approach, appointment structure, and whether the practice is equipped to address the concerns you are experiencing. Psychiatric care is provided by more than one kind of clinician. Psychiatrists are physicians. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses who also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe psychiatric medication. The Lieberman Center is led by Brad Lieberman, PMHNP-BC, and provides psychiatric care to patients in Manhasset and surrounding North Shore communities from its Garden City office, with telehealth available for eligible New York patients.
Not the same, though the care overlaps substantially. A psychiatrist is a physician. A psychiatric nurse practitioner is an advanced practice registered nurse with graduate training in psychiatric and mental health care, board certified, who conducts psychiatric evaluations, makes diagnoses, prescribes and manages medication, and provides psychotherapy. For many adults seeking evaluation, medication management, or therapy, either clinician can provide that care. Patients with complex medical conditions who need a physician’s involvement for other reasons may prefer a psychiatrist.
The practice provides psychiatric evaluation and treatment for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, sleep difficulties, and other mental health conditions. Treatment is individualized based on the patient’s symptoms, history, and clinical needs.
CBT is a structured psychotherapy approach that examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Treatment may involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, changing behaviors that reinforce symptoms, developing coping skills, and practicing new approaches between sessions.
No. The appropriate treatment depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the symptoms. Psychotherapy, including CBT, may be appropriate on its own for some patients. Others may benefit from medication, while some may benefit from a combination of medication and therapy.
Yes. Secure telehealth appointments are available for eligible patients throughout New York State. This can provide a convenient alternative for patients who prefer not to travel to the Garden City office for every appointment.
If anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or another mental health concern is beginning to interfere with your life, you do not have to navigate it alone.
The Lieberman Center for Psychotherapeutics provides private, individualized psychiatric care for patients in Manhasset and throughout the North Shore. With in-person care available in Garden City and secure telehealth throughout New York State, treatment can be structured around your needs and circumstances.
