My boutique practice offers psychiatry consultations, psychotherapy, and coaching. I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives who are looking to thrive and reach their full potential in areas of their career, relationships, and life pursuits.
As a board-certified psychiatrist, psychodynamic psychotherapist, and certified yoga teacher, I use a strengths-based integrated therapy approach that minimizes medications when needed.
My specialized approach maximizes the benefits of psychodynamic and experiential psychotherapy, mindfulness (yoga and meditation), natural supplements, nutrition, while minimizing medications.
I can prescribe medications and frequently work with people who are not interested in medications or prefer minimally necessary doses.
I work with clients across the United States and globally and can prescribe in New York, California, Massachusetts, and Illinois.

Psychotherapy Sessions
Are you facing career transitions, relationship issues, or challenging family dynamics?
We explore past patterns and how to overcome them in order to help you feel less “stuck” while chartering new and better paths for your future. Most people come to therapy because they realize there is something holding them back, and they are ready for change. If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in negative patterns or cycles, we work to identify and address these barriers so that you can overcome them with resilience.
We work together to build a path of lasting change. Whether you want to feel better and more motivated, improve your self-esteem, navigate difficult relationships, or manage stress, I provide you tools from traditional models of therapy and offer newer therapies like mindfulness and positive psychology.
FAQs
What are your fees?
You will be provided with information about our fees for the initial consultation and weekly sessions ahead of your sessions. All payment is due before your session and in order to reserve your first appointment.
The fee schedule is a good faith estimate that will list all expected fees along with any relevant insurance codes if you are planning to file for out-of-network reimbursement.
Does Dr. Wei take insurance?
My practice does not take insurance or have any direct interaction with insurance companies. Your visits may be reimbursable if you have out-of-network benefits on your insurance plan. You will be provided with the typical billing codes so that you can ask your insurance company ahead of time whether reimbursement is possible and the reimbursement “adjusted rates” for these codes.
Any insurance-related questions can be discussed in session. If additional time with insurance issues is requested, this will be billed as outside session administrative time.
How do I find out about my out-of-network insurance benefits?
If you have out-of-network coverage or reimbursement, we recommend that you call your individual health insurance plan before scheduling an appointment to find out if you have out-of-network coverage, including information about your out-of-network deductible and adjusted rate of reimbursement.
How does billing work if I plan to get out-of-network reimbursement?
Prior to your visit, you will be provided with an electronic invoice for your session. All payment is due before your session. After you pay, you may submit the receipt to your insurance plan as a claim to request for reimbursement to be sent directly to you. All information that the insurance company needs is listed on your receipt.
I do not have any direct contact with your insurance plan.
As a psychiatrist, do you offer psychotherapy?
Yes, I have done rigorous training for specialized types of psychotherapy drawing from effective and focused modalities, specifically psychodynamic and experiential therapies. Your psychotherapy will be personalized and tailored to your needs. If your situation would benefit from medications, I can prescribe with an aim to minimize side effects.
We can also discuss many evidence-based, non-medication options such as natural supplements and botanicals.
My specialty is combination treatment of psychotherapy +/- medications. My approach minimizes the use of medications through evidence-based lifestyle changes, including physical exercise, natural supplements, nutritional changes, and mind-body skills such as deep breathing techniques, meditation, and yoga.
Do I need to be on medications in order to see you?
No— in fact, many of my clients are not on medications or are looking primarily to be in psychotherapy or coaching.
I already have a current therapist and/or psychiatrist. Does you provide second opinions or consultations?
In some circumstances, I can offer consultations but do ask that you let your current therapist/psychiatrist know ahead of time that we are working together for a short-term consultation and would not be continuing together long-term.
