Bertrand Vulcain, M.D.

I am a licensed psychiatrist based in New York City and offer treatment to adults 18 years of age and older. I am currently a staff psychiatrist at the Fifth Avenue Counseling Center, where I primarily provide medication management and regularly collaborate with therapists on patient care.

 

I am trained and experienced in treating those experiencing with a range of conditions, including depression and mood disorders, various forms of anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders.  I am particularly passionate about working with those navigating life transitions such as school graduations, marriage and having children. I focus on helping patients identify resilient qualities within themselves that can help live a more fulfilling life.

​

I have extensive experience prescribing a wide array of psychiatric medications, allowing me to personalize treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. I approach medication management with a deep understanding of potential side effects, ensuring that every decision is made with the patient’s well-being and treatment objectives in mind.

 

I completed residency training in General Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Prior to residency, I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Miami with a degree in Biology and minor in Chemistry. I graduated medical school at Howard University College of medicine, where I participated in research evaluating the effects of psychopharmacological interventions on trauma and PTSD related insomnia. 

 

My approach to treatment lies in the belief that every patient’s story is unique, and thus requires a unique and individualized approach. I am a firm believer in taking a collaborative approach to patient care, teaming up with my patients and collaborating with therapists to help patients better reach their treatment goals.
