About

David Janeway, D.O., is an integrative psychiatrist specializing in collaborative care. He is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College and for over 30 years has set up integrative mental health services within primary care medicine (internal medicine, OB/GYN, and pediatrics). He has set up programs for pain management, stress and anxiety disorders, preventive cardiology, psycho-oncology, and diabetes/weight management as well.

He was Director of Integrative Behavioral Health Services at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College from 1997-2004 and Medical Director of Behavioral Health/Psychiatry at Westmed Medical Group (a large multispecialty medical practice serving lower Westchester County, NY and Fairfield County, CT) from 2012-2020.

He continues to write, supervise and teach courses to psychiatry residents and medical students in collaborative care, mind/body medicine, and cognitive behavioral therapy. He is board-certified in psychiatry and trained at Michigan State University-College of Osteopathic Medicine and did his psychiatry residency at Beth Israel Medical Center in NYC.

“I believe that one of the most important roles for a psychiatrist now and in the decades to come is to take leadership within the field of collaborative care. Especially during the wake of the COVID pandemic, we have become acutely aware of the dramatic need for increased psychiatric services. Given that most patients receive their mental health services from their primary care physician, it’s crucial that we provide leadership and guidance in helping our medical colleagues improve upon the delivery of mental health services. Patients need help navigating this complex system to ensure optimal mental healthcare. No longer can psychiatry be marginalized and stigmatized within our healthcare system. Continuing to teach allows me to prepare medical students and residents for this exciting challenge and opportunity. “

Dr. Janeway is also a professional jazz pianist performing in and around NYC and enjoys practicing tai chi and spending time with his family kayaking and hiking in the Hudson Valley.
