Board-certified psychiatry · Glen Ridge, NJ
Dr. Khadija Ibeh does both in the same session, so you are not managing two providers who never speak to each other. In person at her Glen Ridge office, or online anywhere in New Jersey and New York.
The difference
Psychiatric care is usually split in two. A psychiatrist manages the medication in a short appointment. A therapist, somewhere else entirely, handles everything medication cannot reach. The two rarely speak. You tell your history twice and hold the pieces together yourself.
Dr. Ibeh does both. The person adjusting your prescription is the same person who knows how last week actually went, what set off the panic, what you have not said out loud yet. That changes what she can see, and how quickly the plan can change when something is not working.
“I believe in the combination of psychotherapy and medication for a rapid return of functioning.”
What that looks like in practice
A practice can only move at the pace its calendar allows. Hers is built to allow more.
The industry standard is a ten or fifteen minute medication check — long enough to adjust a dose, not long enough to know how your month actually went. A first appointment here runs 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-ups run 30 to 45. That is deliberate: the time is what makes the rest of it possible.
Not a call centre, not a portal queue, not a message relayed by staff. Existing patients have her phone, text and email, and questions between appointments get answered rather than held until the next visit. For anything urgent, the crisis lines below are staffed around the clock — this is direct access to your doctor, not an emergency service.
The office is at 855 Bloomfield Avenue in Glen Ridge. Telehealth covers the rest of New Jersey and all of New York. Since 2020 nearly every psychiatrist offers video; far fewer still offer a room you can sit in. You can move between the two as your life requires.
For depression that has not responded to the usual medications, esketamine is a nasal treatment given in the office under supervision. It is not habit-forming. Registration for the practice is underway and the treatment will be available shortly — ask about it on the consultation call if it might be relevant to you.
What she treats
Adults, across a range of conditions. These are the areas she works in most.
Generalized anxiety, panic, phobias, and the low-grade bracing that never quite switches off. Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based work, with medication when it will genuinely help.
Major depression, persistent low mood, and the flatness that makes an ordinary day take everything you have. Care looks at what is driving it, not only the symptoms sitting on the surface.
Mental health during pregnancy, after birth, and through perimenopause. Hormonal change alters how mood and anxiety behave, and medication decisions in these years need a psychiatrist who knows the territory.
Accurate diagnosis first, then a medication plan built for stability over years, paired with therapy that helps you recognize early warning signs before an episode picks up speed.
Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the long reach of trauma. Trauma-focused and cognitive behavioral approaches, paced so the work stays manageable between sessions.
Evaluation for adult ADHD, and careful ongoing medication management. Doses are reviewed against how your weeks are actually going, with real attention to the side effects you are living with.
Meet Dr. Ibeh
You are probably weighing whether you can trust a stranger with things you have not said to anyone. That is a reasonable thing to weigh. Let me make the choice easier.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist. I studied at Wellesley, earned my MPH at Yale and my MD at Stony Brook, and trained in adult psychiatry at Northwell’s Zucker Hillside Hospital. I practice evidence-based medicine and keep current with the psychiatric literature. I am compassionate, knowledgeable, curious, and honest with my patients. Helping people get back to productive, meaningful lives is the part of this work I care about most.
How to start
A short phone conversation. You say what is going on and ask whatever you need to ask, fees included. If this is not the right fit, she will tell you plainly.
New patients complete a brief screening before the first full appointment. It covers the basics so the evaluation itself can be spent on you rather than on paperwork.
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, 45 to 60 minutes. History, symptoms, medical background, what you have already tried and how it went. She will explain how she understands it and what she is recommending, in language you can follow.
Regular sessions combining psychotherapy and medication management with the same doctor. The plan changes as you do, based on how the weeks between appointments are actually going.

Insurance & fees
The practice is in network with UnitedHealthcare, on every plan except Medicaid and Medicare. With any other insurer you are out of network — but the office submits the reimbursement claim for you rather than handing you a form and wishing you luck. What comes back depends on your plan. Self-pay rates are published in full on the services page, so you can work out the cost before you book anything.
Common questions
Yes, UnitedHealthcare — all plans except Medicaid and Medicare. If you have any other insurer, the practice is out-of-network, and the office submits the reimbursement claim on your behalf rather than leaving you to chase it. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, HSA, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and cash. Self-pay rates are published in full on the services page.
Either. Dr. Ibeh sees patients in person at her office in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and by telehealth anywhere in New Jersey or New York. Plenty of people mix the two — in person when it matters, online when the week is full. Telehealth sessions run on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, or by phone if that suits you better.
Both, with the same doctor, often in the same session. Dr. Ibeh is trained in cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, mindfulness-based, solution-focused, and trauma-focused therapy, . Some people come for therapy alone, some for medication alone, many for the combination. What you get depends on what will actually help.
New Jersey and New York. Dr. Ibeh is licensed in both. Because care is delivered by telehealth, you need to be physically located in New Jersey or New York at the time of your session. That is a licensing rule rather than a practice preference. Where you live the rest of the time does not matter.
Start with the free 15-minute call, which is usually the quickest thing to get on the calendar. Availability for a full evaluation changes week to week, and that call is where you will find out the soonest opening. Appointment hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 9am to 5pm. If you are in crisis right now, call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741.
No cost, no commitment, and a real conversation about whether this is the right fit for you.
