Living in Great Neck often means balancing a demanding professional life with family responsibilities, long commutes, and the expectations that come with a fast-paced North Shore community. When anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or difficulty sleeping begins to affect your concentration, relationships, or ability to function at your usual level, finding the right psychiatric care can make an important difference.
The Lieberman Center for Psychotherapeutics provides individualized psychiatric care for adults, including executives, attorneys, physicians, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and other high-performing individuals. 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, and takes the time to understand the circumstances behind your symptoms rather than treating a diagnosis in isolation.
Our approach combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and additional testing when clinically appropriate. The goal is straightforward: to understand what you are experiencing, identify factors that may be contributing to it, and develop a treatment plan that fits your health, responsibilities, and goals.
Anxiety can be easy to dismiss when you are still managing your responsibilities. You may continue going to work, caring for your family, and meeting professional obligations while dealing with persistent worry, difficulty relaxing, racing thoughts, irritability, muscle tension, panic symptoms, or poor sleep.
For some Great Neck professionals, anxiety becomes most noticeable during periods of increased responsibility or change. A demanding case, growing business, leadership position, family issue, or prolonged period of uncertainty can gradually turn ordinary stress into something much harder to manage.
Our approach to anxiety treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We look at the nature of your symptoms as well as factors that may be affecting them, including sleep, medications, medical history, substance use, work demands, and significant personal stressors. Depending on your needs, treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be particularly useful when anxiety is reinforced by patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT helps you identify automatic thoughts, recognize patterns that contribute to distress, and develop more effective responses.
Treatment may address excessive worry, perfectionism, fear of failure, difficulty setting boundaries, avoidance, or the tendency to constantly anticipate problems. Rather than simply talking about stressful situations, CBT provides practical tools that can be applied between sessions and in everyday life.
Depression does not always look the way people expect. Someone can maintain a successful career, care for a family, and appear completely functional while privately experiencing low mood, emotional numbness, exhaustion, loss of motivation, or a diminished interest in things that once mattered.
For high-functioning adults, these changes can sometimes be attributed to work stress or simply getting older. But persistent changes in mood, sleep, energy, motivation, or concentration deserve a closer look.
Our depression treatment begins with understanding the broader context of your symptoms. We consider psychological and environmental factors along with medical history, sleep, medications, substance use, and other potential contributors. Treatment may involve psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of approaches, depending on the individual’s circumstances.
The objective is not simply to make symptoms disappear temporarily. It is to develop a thoughtful treatment plan that addresses your current difficulties while supporting your ability to function and maintain your quality of life over time.
There is no single treatment that works for everyone. Some patients benefit primarily from psychotherapy, while others may benefit from medication management or a combination of treatment approaches.
When medication is appropriate, we consider your symptoms, previous treatment experiences, medical history, potential side effects, interactions with other medications, and personal treatment goals. Follow-up appointments are structured to provide sufficient time to assess your response and make adjustments when needed.
For selected patients, pharmacogenomic testing may also be considered. These tests can provide information about genetic variations that influence how certain medications are metabolized. They are not a substitute for clinical judgment and cannot predict with certainty which medication will be most effective, but they may provide useful information in particular treatment situations.
Psychotherapy can be integrated into psychiatric care when appropriate. In addition to CBT, treatment may incorporate solution-focused approaches and practical strategies for managing stress, improving sleep, addressing unhelpful patterns, and navigating difficult life circumstances.
People who are accustomed to being capable and dependable can sometimes have the hardest time recognizing when they need help. You may be accustomed to solving problems, managing other people’s needs, and continuing to perform even when you are exhausted.
Over time, chronic stress can begin to affect sleep, concentration, mood, relationships, and physical well-being. What initially feels like a particularly difficult season can become a persistent pattern.
The Lieberman Center works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, sleep difficulties, and other psychiatric concerns. Care is individualized and designed to take into account both the symptoms you are experiencing and the life you are trying to maintain.
The Lieberman Center primarily operates as a private-pay psychiatric practice. This model allows appointments to be structured independently of insurance billing requirements and may be appealing to patients who value flexibility and discretion in how their psychiatric care is delivered.
The fee for an initial 60-minute psychiatric evaluation is $595, while 30-minute follow-up and medication-management appointments are $375.
Patients with out-of-network mental health benefits may be able to receive reimbursement from their insurance provider. We provide Superbills for eligible services and work with Reimbursify to simplify the process of submitting claims. Because coverage varies between plans, patients should confirm their individual out-of-network benefits with their insurance carrier.
The Lieberman Center’s primary office is located in Garden City, NY, providing access to patients from Great Neck and communities throughout Nassau County and the North Shore. For patients who prefer not to travel for every appointment, secure telehealth is available for eligible patients throughout New York State.
For residents commuting into Manhattan or managing demanding professional and family schedules, telehealth can make ongoing psychiatric care easier to maintain. Depending on your needs and eligibility, you may choose between an in-person appointment at the Garden City office and a secure virtual visit.
The goal is to make quality psychiatric care accessible without adding unnecessary complexity to an already busy schedule.
Look for a clinician whose training, prescribing authority, treatment approach, and appointment structure match your needs. 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 private psychiatric care for adults in Great Neck 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.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of your anxiety and your individual circumstances. Depending on your needs, treatment may include CBT, medication management, lifestyle and stress-management strategies, or a combination of approaches.

Yes. Secure telehealth appointments are available for eligible patients throughout New York State. This can provide a convenient option for patients who prefer to receive care from home or a private office.
When anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or changes in sleep and motivation begin affecting the way you work, think, or relate to the people around you, it may be time to look beyond simply pushing through. The right psychiatric care starts with understanding the full picture and not just the symptoms.
The Lieberman Center for Psychotherapeutics provides individualized psychiatric care for adults in Great Neck and throughout Nassau County. Whether you prefer to meet in person at our Garden City office or through secure telehealth, appointments are designed to give you the time and attention needed to develop a treatment plan around your particular circumstances.
