Therapy and medication management, thoughtfully integrated
Karen Hirschkorn, NPP
WELCOME TO KAREN’S PRACTICE!
Integrated psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults in Manhattan
Karen Hirschkorn is an experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management in one coordinated treatment relationship.
Her private practice on Central Park South at Columbus Circle serves children, adolescents, adults, and families looking for care that is clinically rigorous, deeply personal, and connected from one appointment to the next.
REACH OUT
A more coordinated approach starts with a conversation
If you are looking for psychotherapy, medication management, or an integrated approach to both, contact Karen’s office to discuss whether the practice may be a good fit.
Mental health care does not always fit into separate boxes
Medication can affect how a person feels, functions, sleeps, thinks, and relates to others. Therapy can reveal patterns, pressures, and changes that matter when evaluating medication. Karen brings those parts of treatment together, when clinically appropriate, so decisions are informed by a fuller picture of the patient’s life.
A treatment plan may emphasize psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both. The approach is individualized rather than automatic.
When therapy and medication management are handled in the same practice, there is less distance between what is discussed and what is prescribed. Karen can follow how symptoms change over time, understand the circumstances surrounding those changes, and adjust the treatment plan with continuity and context.
Psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis
Individual psychotherapy
Psychiatric medication management
Parent and family sessions when appropriate
Coordination with therapists, physicians, nutritionists, schools, and other providers
One provider. A more connected understanding of your care.
Karen has practiced as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner since 1996. Her background includes hospital-based care, private practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training, family-systems training, teaching, and decades of work with patients and families navigating complex concerns.
Her style is serious about the work without becoming clinical or remote. Patients can expect careful listening, direct conversation, compassion, and, when the moment allows, a sense of humor.
Experience matters.
So does the relationship.
