Welcome to www.psychiatry.aero - mental health for the airborne!


I am a general psychiatrist in private practice in New York City.  I also happen to be an avid paraglider pilot and instructor.  If you are interested in working with me in my private practice - please select "Private Practice" link on the right.

My goal is to assemble and deconstruct the most relevant mental health resources with practical recommendations for the flying community.  Please feel free to ask a question - I will do my best to investigate and post answers that may be relevant to others in flying community.
