On top of that, scheduling with him is easy, and he is always responsive and on time. I never feel rushed in appointments, yet he remains punctual and efficient. It’s clear he values his patients’ time. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to my closest friends and family.”

Getting to know Dr. Roberto Figueroa
Finding hope is the first step in getting better. And there are reasons to be hopeful. Research has consistently demonstrated the benefit of multiple approaches in the treatment of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, and OCD. It has also shown that the most effective treatment is the combination of psychotherapy and medication treatment. If you suspect you may be suffering from any of these disorders you should know you are not alone. Millions of people in the US and about half a billion people in the world have significant depression or anxiety alone.
I use an integrated approach for treating mood disorders that combines cognitive behavioral (CBT) and psychodynamic psychotherapy with medication treatment when indicated.
My extensive experience - 22 years - as well as degrees from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (Psychiatry), Mount Sinai School of Medicine (psychopharmacology), and Columbia University (psychodynamic psychotherapy) makes my couch a one-stop-shop for your anxiety, depression, and any other mood disorders you might be dealing with.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer either in-person or online psychiatry and psychotherapy sessions. I am available weekdays until 7pm.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Dr. Figuero is an excellent psychiatrist whose expertise and compassion have profoundly impacted my life.
I have struggled with severe depression and Dr. Figuero has helped me to rediscover my sense of self. He approaches every one of our appointments with empathy, patience and commitment. He is not rigid but instead fosters an environment of collaboration, encouraging self-reflection.
Dr. Figueroa’s intelligence, experience and dedication make him an excellent physician. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. Figuero’s care and highly recommend him to anyone seeking psychological help.

Dr. Fig has made the last 3-4 years of my treatment so seamless. With other doctors I have felt dismissed and unheard, but Dr. Fig took me seriously and when he had other theories that clashed with y he never dismissed me, which I appreciate so much. I have done both talk therapy and just pharmacotherapy with him and even then he lent me his time and compassion. I have never felt like a number. He cares and he’s good at what he does.

Dr. Figueroa is very easy to talk to and a welcome change to other psychiatrists I’ve spoken to. I’ve been meeting with him for years and am glad to continue pursuing the maintenance of my mental health with him. I’ve really never considered switching to anyone else, as well. Very glad to have gone with this option.

Dr. Figueroa is an amazing Psychiatrist and human being. He helped me through the worst moments in my life. He cares about the patients and not only on the medication side of things. He takes the time to hear you and guides you to recovery. Doctors these days have loose empathy and is good to know that there are still good ones out there that really care. Gracias Doctor!
