Psychiatrist Near Greenpoint? One Neighborhood South.
Straight answer first: our office is not in Greenpoint. It’s at 134 Broadway in Williamsburg — one ferry stop from India Street, one stop on the G, a citi-bike ride or an adventurous bus ride away.
If you’re searching for a psychiatrist in Greenpoint, you’re mostly finding directories. We’re a real practice next door: board-certified, in-network in NY, and honest about the geography.

Why Greenpoint has almost no psychiatrists — and why that’s fixable
Greenpoint is one of the most distinctive neighborhoods in Brooklyn: still Little Poland — home to one of the largest Polish communities in America — along the Manhattan Avenue spine, and now also a waterfront of new towers at Greenpoint Landing filling up with tech and creative professionals.
What it barely has is psychiatry:
- Search the neighborhood and you’ll find directory lists and a small handful of practices for a population that has grown fast.
- The G is the only subway. Most residents end up commuting into Manhattan for care — or giving up and booking nothing.
Our answer isn’t to pretend we have a Greenpoint office. It’s that you don’t need one: Psychiatry in Motion sits one neighborhood south, in Williamsburg — a shorter trip than Manhattan by any route.
And we see most Greenpoint patients by secure telehealth anyway, with in-person visits when they matter (evaluations, first visits, or whenever you prefer a room to a screen).
Getting here from Greenpoint
NYC Ferry — the scenic cheat code
The East River route serves both neighborhoods: board at India Street, ride south, get off at South Williamsburg (Schaefer Landing). From the landing it’s about a 10-minute walk to 134 Broadway.
G train
From Greenpoint Av or Nassau Av, take the G south to the Broadway stop (Union Ave), then walk straight down Broadway — about 12 minutes to our door.
B62 bus
The B62 runs down Manhattan Avenue through Greenpoint and continues through Williamsburg on Driggs — get off near Broadway and you’re a block or two away.
Telehealth
Licensed across New York State. Most Greenpoint patients do routine follow-ups from home and come in only when it counts.

The neighborhood’s patients, as we actually meet them
The waterfront transplant
New tower, new job, engine that never shuts off. High-functioning anxiety and burnout are the neighborhood specials. Burnout is treatable — and documentable.
The creative and film crew
Production schedules wreck sleep and focus. Sometimes it’s the schedule; sometimes it’s undiagnosed adult ADHD. We test properly before we treat.
The late-diagnosed adult
You’ve played “normal” so long it looks easy. It isn’t. Autism and masking evaluations for adults are a core specialty.
The lifelong Greenpointer
Anxiety, depression, OCD — managed with minimal meds and real protocols: movement, sleep, and medication only where it earns its place.
Insurance: Aetna + UnitedHealthcare in-network in NY — details on the Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (incl. Oxford + Oscar) pages. Self-pay is $200 with the clinical team; out-of-network PPO plans often reimburse — run the free OON calculator. Full rates: pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Greenpoint?
No — and we would rather tell you that than pretend. Our office is at 134 Broadway in Williamsburg, one neighborhood south. From Greenpoint it is one ferry stop (India St to Schaefer Landing), a straight G ride to Broadway, or the B62. Most Greenpoint patients use telehealth for routine visits.
What is the fastest way there from Greenpoint?
Usually the ferry: India Street to South Williamsburg (Schaefer Landing) on the East River route, then about a 10-minute walk. The G to Broadway plus a 12-minute walk is the all-weather backup.
Can I do everything by telehealth?
Almost everything. We are licensed for telehealth across New York State. We recommend in-person for comprehensive evaluations when possible, but ongoing medication management and follow-ups work well by video.
Do you take insurance?
Yes — in-network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (including Oxford and Oscar plans) in NY. Self-pay with the clinical team is $200 per session, and we provide superbills for other PPO plans.
What do you treat?
Adult ADHD, autism and masking (including late diagnosis), OCD, anxiety, depression, and burnout — including medical leave documentation when recovery requires time away from work.
How fast can I be seen?
Our Intake Director calls every new inquiry within 1 business day. Intakes are often available the same week when slots are open.

Finding a psychiatrist in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — the real options
If you live in Greenpoint and need a psychiatrist — a medical doctor who can evaluate, diagnose, prescribe, and write the documentation employers and insurers demand — your realistic options in 2026 are: a small number of neighborhood practices with limited capacity, the directory roulette of Zocdoc and Psychology Today filters, Manhattan practices that cost you a commute plus a premium, or an adjacent-neighborhood practice like ours.
We think the honest comparison favors the last one, and here is the case.
Geography first
Greenpoint’s transit reality is the G train and the ferry. Both run straight to us: the G’s Broadway stop is a 12-minute walk from our door, and the East River ferry connects India Street to Schaefer Landing in South Williamsburg directly.
Door to door, most of Greenpoint reaches our office in 20–30 minutes — against 40–50 to Midtown. And since New York telehealth rules let us handle most follow-ups by video, many Greenpoint patients come in twice a year and do the rest from their couch.
Capacity second
We run a team model: Dr. Ahmed Al-Katib, MD — board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology — supervises every case, while specialized clinicians run intakes and ongoing care.
That structure is why our Intake Director can return your call within 1 business day and why intakes are often available the same week when slots are open, instead of the multi-month waitlists that define in-network psychiatry in north Brooklyn.
Fit third
Greenpoint’s mix — longtime Polish-American families, artists and film crews, and the new waterfront tech class — maps almost exactly onto what this practice does all day: adult ADHD evaluation for high-functioning professionals, late-diagnosed autism and masking, OCD, anxiety, depression, and tech-sector burnout — including medical leave documentation in NYC when time away from work is the treatment.
We are a movement-first practice: sleep, exercise physiology, and metabolic work sit alongside (and often ahead of) prescriptions.
Cost, and the neighbors
On cost: in-network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare (including Oxford and Oscar) in NY, $200 self-pay with the clinical team, superbills for other PPO plans — preview your reimbursement with the OON calculator. Nearby, we also serve Williamsburg and the wider borough — see the Brooklyn page for the full picture — plus Manhattan and Queens via the same bridge-and-ferry logic.
