About Me

About Dr. Barbara Fontane

I am Dr. Barbara Fontane, an experienced Psychiatrist with a passion for helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges. My journey in the field of psychiatry began over 20 years ago when I completed my MD and underwent rigorous training in my psychiatric residency at Westchester Medical Center. This foundational experience equipped me with the skills and knowledge to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health disorders effectively.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I am actively engaged in Psychoanalytic training with the Contemporary Freudian Society. This specialized training has deepened my understanding of the intricacies of the human mind and behavior, allowing me to offer personalized and comprehensive treatment approaches to my patients.

For the past two decades, I have provided in-depth psychotherapeutic psychotherapy to individuals seeking help with various psychological challenges. I have developed a profound understanding of how therapy can empower people to gain knowledge and awareness about their anxieties and anger, leading to positive transformations in their lives.

My approach to mental health care is holistic, combining therapy with medication when necessary to ensure my patients receive the most effective and comfortable treatment possible. I have helped numerous individuals struggling with work and personal relationships, low self-esteem, anger management issues, irritability, and sleep disorders.

Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I guide my patients on a journey toward healing and growth, helping them achieve happier and more fulfilling lives. My dedication to my patients’ well-being and my contributions to the field of psychiatry are driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
