Following medical school at the State University of New York at Buffalo and residency training in Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Solomon moved to Long Island in 1989 and founded the practice that was to become Island Psychiatry. Twenty seven years later he is even more engaged and committed to providing the highest quality mental health care and consultation services.
Dr. Solomon's perspective on life brings energy, excitement and innovation to the growing practice. He leads with a passionate vision for redefining mental healthcare delivery through a relentless pursuit of quality practices. Dr. Solomon's ultimate goal is to diminish the systemic injustices that interfere with a patient's ability to obtain the most informed care.

Services
Depending on your individual needs we utilize various models of psychotherapy including cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, supportive and interpersonal approaches. No matter what the specific approach involves, all therapy rests on a foundation of trust. We will work as hard as we can to help you or your family member feel better as quickly as possible.
Just like any other type of medical problem such as diabetes or heart disease, psychiatric conditions can have physical causes. The physical cause is often associated with a chemical imbalance in the part of the brain that controls emotions and behavior. Contrary to some persistent myths, these "brain disorders" are very treatable and have a favorable prognosis.
Island Psychiatry offers psychiatric and therapeutic services to people who are struggling with substance use and addiction. Our Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will provide an initial evaluation followed by a treatment recommendation. In addition to therapy, our program supports intervention with Suboxone and Vivitrol.
TMS therapy is an FDA approved form of brain stimulation used to treat patients with depression and/or OCD who have not improved sufficiently through conventional approaches. In many cases we are able to offer a lower cost TMS treatment program than other TMS providers on Long Island. There are promising results for other uses of TMS therapy in patients with ADHD, panic, PTSD and other mental illnesses.
Island Psychiatry is pleased to offer telepsychiatry and teletherapy appointments. We are committed to providing quality care and do not want to be limited to only the typical face to face office visits. If you reside in New York state, we do not want to deny treatment due to distance or travel difficulties.

I work with children and do my best to help with their scholastics so I know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to trying to help the younger members of society along in their frequently stress filled lives and believe me when I say that island psychiatry doesn't know the first thing about helping young adults in any way shape or form. My family will never ever return here under any circumstances.

We were referred by a therapist to Dawn Kahler, Psych NP. At Island Psychiatry. Dawn treated our young adult with great sensitivity and gut instinct. She spent well over the allotted time slot diagnosing our loved one and they developed a strong bond very early on. He’s suffered from anxiety ocd and depression most of his life Nd thanks to Dawn he’s doing much better.
