As a Board Certified Psychiatrist who provides integrative psychiatric care for mind and body, I look to see the whole person. From that place, I help them explore their path to mental wellness by uncovering the unsolved mysteries, and addressing mental, physical, social and environmental issues. Our ultimate goal is not just stability, but realization of full potential.

Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by the challenges of life? I have written a unique self-help book titled "5 Steps to Tame the Overwhelmed Mind: Remapping Your Emotional World." I believe in these anxious times my book will bring great solace and help to the tens of millions of people in the US and around the world who are temporarily overwhelmed by their lives.

I will be honest with you about my experience treating particular disorders and will refer you to a colleague if needed. Typically, 1.5 hours, the initial interview will cover as sensitively as possible your reasons for seeking psychiatric care; past psychiatric, medical, developmental, family history, and previous therapies.
A sensitive and comprehensive diagnostic evaluation that includes your reasons for seeking psychiatric care; past psychiatric, medical, developmental, family history, and previous therapies. We'll also go over diet, lifestyle/exercise, environmental factors, and psychological stressors. Because I do a longer initial visit, we cover more ground and can produce a more comprehensive treatment plan that incorporates a collaborative approach.
Why do I always make small things into big things? How come things seem to bother me more than other people? Why do I always have a need to be right or win and be devastated when things don't go my way? I mean, what I am supposed to do with them-these feelings?.

These are questions that may be familiar to many of us even though we all have slightly different triggers: someone defriends us on Facebook, someone disappoints us or we feel ignored by someone.Our favorite team may lose the ball game or we're late for work and we are frustrated by the person driving in front of us.
Throughout my years of clinical work, I've always marveled when a patient tells me in retrospect that something I told them previously had an impact on their lives-it was almost as if they had an 'aha' moment to take in the right message at the right time and it made a difference for them.

In my upcoming book, 5 Steps to Tame the Overwhelmed Mind (5STOM), I incorporate the concept of wisdom as a means to strengthen the mind when it is overwhelmed---the idea being if you were able to hear the right words at the right moment it would help you gain a measure of control within yourself.The paradox is that when you are emotionally overwhelmed, would you even be able to access the right words when you need them most?

I have known Dr. Marder for over 20 years and my husband and I have found his advice and knowledge to be extraordinary. He has helped us both through many a problem, always leaving us feeling better prepared to understand and deal with everything we've discussed. Although sad he moved away from New York, he still is always available to help whenever we've asked. Five stars is not enough!

I have known Dr. Marder for 17 years. He has been an invaluable resource to me in dealing with the complexities of modern day life. No matter what the issue has been, he has a solid understanding of the problem and helps guide me to find the solution. Dr. Marder doesn't just focus on mental wellness, he also discusses medical issues in a pro-active way and has directed me to consult doctors in other medical areas. I feel very lucky to have had him in my life. I could not recommend him more highly.
