Psychotherapy and Medication Management for Adults in New York
About Me
Hi, I'm Selcuk Ipek, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).
I provide psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management for adults in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and throughout New York via telehealth.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
My approach is collaborative and integrative. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or a list of symptoms, I take the time to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and recurring patterns that may be contributing to what you're going through. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration, and I tailor treatment to where you are and what you hope to achieve. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration, and I tailor treatment to where you are and what you hope to achieve.
Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both, depending on your needs and preferences.

An Integrated Approach to Mental Healthcare
I provide comprehensive psychiatric care that looks beyond symptoms alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with experience in both medical and psychiatric settings, I consider the biological, psychological, interpersonal, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your mental health.
Treatment begins with a thoughtful psychiatric evaluation and an understanding of what is happening in your life—not simply assigning a diagnosis. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these approaches.
My goal is to help you understand the patterns contributing to your difficulties while addressing the symptoms that are interfering with your daily life.
Whether we are working through psychotherapy, medication management, or both, treatment is collaborative and tailored to your needs, goals, and preferences.
What You Can Expect
Psychiatric care should feel like a conversation, not simply a checklist of symptoms. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, expressing concerns, and participating actively in decisions about your treatment.
Our work may focus on immediate symptoms while also exploring the relationships, experiences, and recurring patterns that influence how you feel and function. I value curiosity, openness, and collaboration, and I tailor treatment to where you are and what you hope to achieve.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard and understood while we work toward meaningful, practical change.
