About Psychiatry in Motion

The psychiatry practice that got tired of watching brilliant people get numbed out.

Standard psychiatry hands you a pill after a 5-minute video call and calls it care. We do it differently — less medication, more movement, real healing.

Why we exist

The system is broken. You are not.

The problem

Most doctors treat your brain like it’s disconnected from your body. You say you’re tired, they hand you an upper. You say you’re anxious, they hand you a downer.

The pattern

We built Psychiatry in Motion because of how many people we met with the wrong diagnosis, the wrong meds, and no real guidance.

The founder

Dr. Al-Katib’s expertise wasn’t built in a quiet suburban clinic — it was forged in New York City’s busiest psychiatric ERs, treating patients from 60+ countries.

The fix

Bypass the broken model: diagnose correctly, fix the root cause, and push for the healthiest lifestyle possible — so if medication is needed, it’s the lowest effective dose.

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need a team that looks at the whole picture. That’s us.

How we do it

Real care. Not just prescriptions.

We don’t want you to be a patient forever — we want to hand you the tools to build the best life imaginable.

Smart Medicine

Low meds, high impact

Medication to get your head above water — not to numb your personality. Lowest effective dose, fast.

Deep Therapy

Talk that actually works

Not venting to a wall. We break bad habits, manage stress, and rewrite the stories you no longer need.

Active Living

Movement is medicine

We prescribe gym, yoga, and real movement — and help you use pre-tax dollars for it.
