Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). I address conditions from both a Lifestyle AND Medical perspective compared to most physicians who focus often on solely a medical perspective. I have experience treating Adhd, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Trauma, Personality Disorders, Obsessions & Compulsions, Insomnia, Psychosis, and more.

My ideal client is a person who wants help. Whether it is Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, or Bipolar Disorder, I want my patients to strive to keep an open mind and are motivated to feel better. I am passionate about the creation of a therapeutic environment that fosters trust, safety, exploration, insight, strength, and direction as an integral aspect of your treatment.

I combine my decades of experience in academic psychiatry and my extensive knowledge of psychotherapeutic methods and psychopharmacology with empathy, focused listening and a caring responsiveness to provide personalized care to the patients in my practice, Pegasus Psychiatry Associates (www.PegasusPsych.com). I was Chair of the Dept. of Psychiatry at Morristown Medical Center (NJ's #1 rated hospital) for 21 years and am a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Thomas Jefferson University's Medical School. I am widely published, have national recognition for my research and have served on state-wide mental health committees.

Taylor Zembricki is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who received her Doctorate in Nursing practice from Rutgers University. Her style can be described as person-centered, goal-directed and compassionate. She incorporates a multitude of psychotherapeutic techniques, depending on what best fits your needs. She uses an integrative approach, with a thorough understanding of the mind-body connection, treating her patients' in the most holistic way possible.

I am an open-minded practitioner and I feel strongly that it is every person’s birthright to be happy and to live a fulfilling life. I believe that every person is always doing their best; there is no such thing as laziness or a lack of motivation. I employ a client-centered approach to help people tackle the burdens that are holding them back. I provide a thorough psychiatric evaluation and only recommend medication cautiously and with clear intention.

It is hard to survive, let alone thrive, in today’s modern society, especially without a reliable support system. It's understandable that life feels overwhelming, like you're constantly hanging on by a thread. Maybe you feel like your own worst enemy, constantly self-criticizing. Maybe you know you could achieve so much more if you just had the motivation and focus to tackle that to-do list. Maybe all your mental energy is spent worrying about the same things over and over, leaving you too exhausted for anything else. Or maybe you need help discovering yourself when all you’ve known is what others expect of you.

I completed my psychiatric nurse practitioner training at NYU with a clinical focus in child/adolescent psychiatry. Since then I have worked extensively with adolescents coming out of intensive care programs for psychosis and children/adolescents with neurodiversity. I am also an adjunct faculty at NYU School of Nursing teaching inpatient psychiatric clinicals. I provide various psychiatric assessment and treatment, including psychiatric evaluation, medication management, individual therapy, school collorations and genetic testing. A typical initial evaluation is 90 minutes and the follow-ups are 30 minutes.

I am a psychiatrist with over 30 years experience in private practice, board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I work with patients with depression, anxiety, panic, substance abuse, ADD, OCD, bipolar disorder, marital and relationship issues as well as most other problems for which people seek professional help.
