Getting you better

The first person I encountered with depression was my grandmother so, for me, this is a personal endeavor. Her depression was never treated properly and I vowed to do things better.

That’s why my goal is to get you better and to do so as fast as possible.

You can get relief from depression, OCD, and PTSD symptoms in as few as one to ten days.

New treatments such as ketamine, Spravato and TMS have dramatically improved response time and remission rates. 

We offer two cutting-edge TMS protocols, a one-day treatment and a five-day treatment.

Ketamine infusions are given over a two week period. Fifty per cent of patients feel a response after the first infusion.

Another reason that my approach is different from other psychiatrists is that I emphasize the linkage between psychiatric and physical health. I use an evidence-based model called Collaborative Care to liaise with therapists and primary care doctors. The goal is to drive both psychiatric and physical vitality in parallel.

Double board-certified, I was an academic leader and Associate Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Northwell Health—three of the nation’s leading health systems.

I’ve written eleven textbook chapters and published over fifty research articles, but working with patients has always been my most important goal.

Are Your Current Treatments Falling Short?

Here's How We Can Help
Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, ADHD & OCD

We use the latest evidence-based treatments driven by research-proven protocols.  We advocate the use of multiple approaches such as medication, psychotherapy and interventional psychiatry (ketamine, TMS, VNS) to maximize the speed and likelihood of remission.

Ketamine & Spravato

We are experts at treating difficult to treat depression and OCD. We integrate newer approaches that you won’t see at many other psychiatrists. Ketamine works faster than other treatments. It’s available intravenously or as a nasal spray (Spravato).  It works faster than any other medication for depression.  Safety is our top priority. We administer ketamine strictly according to the American Psychiatric Association’s consensus statement.

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

When depression or OCD doesn’t respond to medication, TMS offers a safe, FDA-cleared treatment option. It works via magnetic pulses that stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It’s non-invasive, medication-free, and can lead to lasting improvement in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and OCD.

Prescribing Medications

Our prescribing philosophy is to prescribe psychiatric medications at the lowest doses possible. Safety is our first priority. We also “prescribe to remission”. This means that we adjust medications until a full remission has been achieved. A partial remission is not enough.

Genetic Testing

This new technology helps us chose the right medication that is tailored to your unique genetic makeup. Our goal is to find a medication that is more likely to help and less likely to cause side-effects. It reduces the trial and error approach that you will find with many other psychiatrists. Read my article on genetic testing.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

We are excited to announced that we are now offering vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), a new FDA approved depression treatment. It’s effective for many people who have not responded well to previous depression treatments.

SAM-e: A Natural Depression Treatment

Depression affects millions—and while antidepressants are often the first line of treatment, they don’t work for everyone. That’s where alternative options like SAM-e come in. SAM-e is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a key role in brain chemistry and mood regulation.

In this article, Dr. Levin breaks down how SAM-e works, what the research says about its effectiveness, and what to consider before using it—especially if you’re already on medication. From neurotransmitter support to side effect profiles, he covers the essentials you need to know if you’re exploring new options for managing depression.

What our patients are saying..."

I’ve said to my wife several times that I’m amazed how “back-to-normal” I am given where I was two months ago. I’ve shared my experience with a number of friends and members of my family – I’ve made it clear to all how fortunate I was to be working with you and how effective your treatment turned out to be. Don’t be surprised if you hear from one or two of them seeking help with similar or related issues. I’m very grateful for the way you helped me.

if you want a psychiatrist who is knowledgeable, competent, easy to talk to, patient and thorough, you could do no better than Dr. Tomer Levin. He hears what the problem is, what your concerns are, and then works collaboratively towards a solution. I worked with Dr. Levin for the first time several years ago, and then again this year.  In both instances I was so pleased with the experience and successful outcome. Notably, in one of our sessions,  he astutely identified a potential problem of an unrelated condition and advised I see my internist for further evaluation, which I did.  He was correct and today I continue with the necessary treatment for that chronic condition. I highly recommend Dr. Levin for anyone seeing a psychiatrist for the first time as well for those who have more experience in knowing what they need and want in this area.

I think you are a lovely person and a gem of a doctor. I enjoy collaborating with you [treating our mutual patient].

I deeply value my partnership with Dr. Levin, and would strongly recommend him to both friends and family.

I feel amazing. I have been able to relax and concentrate in ways I hadn’t been able to in a long time.

Dr. Levin has worked with me on a variety of deeply rooted emotional and psychological issues, helping me build self-esteem and greater understanding.

You helped me so much. I can’t thank you enough. I also wanted to share the exciting news that we got engaged!!!!

Mom always talks about how nice you are. It makes a huge difference… Thanks again!

Dr. Levin is an intelligent, thoughtful, and goal-oriented psychiatrist. Where others failed, he succeeded by offering me practical tools that I have put to use to diminish severe anxiety.

You are a lifesaver. For six years I have been flipping out, but [with the new medication] it does not bother me any more.

He mends the mighty and the rabble, List’ning calmly to our babble. He squints up at revealing phrases, Then charts a pathway through the mazes, He sends up back to work and dabble

Thanks for the update and for treating [my patient]. He greatly enjoys working with you.” Therapist NYC.

Emotionally, I was a cripple in a world of people who could walk. Tomer Levin helped me to stand up, find my place, and move ahead.

Dr. Levin is committed to seeing me improve each week, holding me to task so I can actually benefit from the change we seek.

Mostly my life has been sad and dreary. I began to visit Tomer Levin and found a crack in the wall that let in a little light. Now I have come to believe in whole days full of sun.

If you really want to change your life, go to Tomer Levin. His brilliant intuitions will lead you in surprising directions.

I am very grateful to Dr. Levin for his help and also to Debra for making my visits to the office so welcoming.

In addition to your help with medications, thank-you Dr. Levin for referring me to Smart Recovery. It’s a very effective program with tools, groups and good people that have kept me sober!

Dr. Levin treated my teen child for both depression and anxiety while also coordinating their care with a DBT therapist in another practice. He preformed genetic testing on my child to help determine the appropriate medication for them and was slow to introduce the medication while offering nurturing, sensitive therapy that also included directives for healthy and helpful exercise. I appreciated how nurturing and sensitive he was to my child’s needs, as well as how much he collaborated with the other therapist. My child’s depressive symptoms greatly decreased under his care, for which we are extremely grateful.

“Dr. Levin truly helped me change my alcohol habits in a significant and life-affirming way. Working with him over a year’s time, he prescribed very helpful medication and gave me strong support and encouragement , while holding me to high standards of self control and achievement.  My life is much better for the care he gave me.”

Ketamine treatment has been life changing. Being free of my baseline anxiety and stress is such a release. The physical relief of being without anxiety and stress hormones for an hour [during the infusion] is remarkable. But also part of my anxiety is anxiety about being anxious – not anticipating that pain is fabulous. I am going for long walks now and planning a trip to Paris that I did not think I would make two weeks ago. 

Thank you for your kindness and wisdom yesterday. It was a breakthrough session for me. There were so many layers of complexity, I couldn’t do it alone.

 

You’ve given me the gift of perspective and having a plan.

 

Thanks to you, Tomer, I’ve got my eyes on the horizon. And isn’t that all a good sailor needs?

I recommend Dr. Levin to my patients who are looking for a psychiatrist. He is such a well rounded professional. He genuinely knows about his patients and cares about their quality of life. He collaborates really well and he listens to the patient, their family and other treatment providers like myself. I have worked with many doctors in my career and Dr. Levin stands out the most as having the perfect blend of knowledge and bedside manner.

Elana Rimler

I’d like to thank Dr Levin and his assistant Debra for being so patient with me over the last 4 months. When I first saw Dr Levin I was at the lowest point in my life. I had anxiety and depression, losing interest in all the things that I used to love. He listened to me attentively and talked to me in a calm and confident manner making me feel hopeful about my future. I think that’s very important for any patient. He prescribed me a very good antidepressant that worked ! And there’s no withdrawal symptoms from this med.  He encouraged me to exercise and to see a talk therapist because he doesn’t like to put patients on long term medications if possible. That’s just what I wanted. Now I exercise daily, and continue seeing my therapist, I’ve stopped the med a month ago. Feeling great!

I just want to say you basically seem to have solved my 20 years of sickness in one session. I’m doing great! God bless you (not so sure I believe in God but God bless you nonetheless) and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Tomer and his team have helped me and my family navigate through some very difficult and stressful times. I am happy to say that thanks to his knowledge, compassion, and insight we improved our ability to navigate very stressful times. This has truly changed our lives. Thank you!

I really appreciate the good you did in a pinch. You gave me some great ideas and the momentum to make changes. Thank you so much for the open door policy as well.

I had my dad see him for a bit (it didn’t work out) but I thought he was WONDERFUL. I would recommend him to anyone. If you speak with him, please let him know how highly I think of him!

Dr. Levin is an excellent doctor!  Any patient should feel confident in his expertise in treating disorders.His knowledge about different treatments should leave any patient feeling that he will definitely move forward in Dr. Levin’s care. He genuinely cares about his patients, and it’s very easy to talk to him, as he is a good and patient listener. Also, his office manager, Debra, is a warm and compassionate person, which makes the whole experience  a positive one!

It is very good to talk to and receive advice from someone with Dr. Levin’s knowledge and experience.

Dr. Levin is a very wise, caring, kind, intelligent, and helpful doctor. I am extremely grateful for all his guidance and support.
Also, you have been great, too! Thank you.
 I want to start off by saying thank you to you and Dr. Levin for the care and support you have offered my father and my family over the past 2 plus years.  Dr. Levin’s honesty and willingness to be open and truly listen to our concerns was very reassuring.
We  hope that the doors can remain open to reach out in the future, should the need arise.
Thank you again!
Your care team as a 10 out of 10.  It is GREATLY appreciated!
Dr Levin is a caring, compassionate and thorough psychiatrist always available for his patients.
He is committed to making certain all his clients return to better health and healing.

I spent a great deal of time researching psychiatric as well as psychological care. After weeks of research, I came across Dr. Levin. His clinical approach was spot on as he didn’t just rely on medication to treat my illness but also encouraged Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).

To date all is processing very well. I have found Dr. Levin to be extremely empathetic and comforting. He seemed to be comprehensive in assessing my condition before suggesting a treatment regimen. He confidently and in a very understanding manner explained my diagnosis. In addition, he set the degree of my illness along with a prognosis and treatment plan I was comfortable with.

Dr. Levin helped me get through a very difficult and disturbing period of depression and anxiety. He was kind and patient throughout my period of care. The medication he prescribed along with his counseling made it possible for me to get my life back. When I was able to stop the medication, he provided a step by step weaning plan. Debra, his office manager, was always friendly and helpful.  I am very grateful that Dr. Levin was there to help me, and I would recommend him very highly.
“’I’m happy to share that I’ve made a full recovery and am no longer taking any medications. Please convey my sincere thanks to Dr. Levin for all of his support – I truly appreciated his care and guidance through a difficult time.”
I was treated by Dr. Levin when I was a cancer patient at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He helped me cope with my ocd that developed suddenly after chemo for no reason. He was very attentive and helped me get a letter to fight SSI disability.

Going into the accelerated TMS treatment, I had extreme anxiety and hesitation. By day two, I felt like.a new person. I haven’t felt so at ease since I was a small child. This was a game changer.

Dr Tomer is a great unique doctor. His care, love, and special attention to details made miracles in my medical crises process!
Special thanks  for not giving me addictive medications.
I’ll always appreciate that.
Thank you to Debbra the office manager for being so sensitive and attentive to my needs
I’ll always appreciate you guys
