Services

Psychiatric care that does not make you assemble it yourself.

Evaluation, medication and therapy with one board-certified psychiatrist, delivered online across New Jersey and New York.

Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis

A full picture first. Nothing is prescribed before it is understood.

The first full appointment is an unhurried conversation about your history, your symptoms, your physical health, your sleep, and everything you have already tried. Getting the diagnosis right matters more than getting to it quickly, because the wrong one sends the next two years in the wrong direction. You will leave understanding how I see it and what I am recommending, in plain language.

  • Full psychiatric and medical history
  • Review of past medications and what happened on them
  • A clear explanation of the working diagnosis
  • A treatment plan you have actually agreed to

Medication Management

Prescribing by someone who knows how your week went.

Medication is a tool, not a verdict. When it is the right tool I will say so, and when it is not I will say that too. Because I am also the person doing your therapy, dose changes are made by someone who heard what the last month was actually like rather than reading a short summary. Side effects get taken seriously; a medication you cannot tolerate is not a medication that works.

  • Starting, adjusting and tapering medication
  • Second opinions on an existing regimen
  • Honest discussion of side effects and trade-offs
  • Coordination with your other physicians when needed

Individual Psychotherapy

Real therapy, with your psychiatrist, in the same hour.

This is the part most psychiatrists have stopped offering. Dr. Ibeh is trained across cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused brief therapy and trauma-focused therapy, and draws on what fits you rather than running everyone through the same protocol. Some people come for therapy alone. That is a complete course of treatment, not a lesser one.

  • Cognitive behavioral (CBT) and mindfulness-based (MBCT)
  • Psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy
  • Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT)
  • Trauma-focused therapy

Reproductive & Perinatal Psychiatry

The years when hormones, sleep and identity all move at once.

Trying to conceive. Pregnancy. The postpartum months. Perimenopause. These are stretches when mood and anxiety behave differently, and too much of what happens gets waved off as normal for the stage of life. Some of it is not, and much of it is treatable. Medication decisions in these years carry real questions about pregnancy and nursing, and they deserve a psychiatrist who knows the current safety data and will walk you through the trade-offs rather than around them.

  • Anxiety and depression during pregnancy
  • Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety
  • Perimenopausal mood and sleep changes
  • Medication safety in pregnancy and while nursing

In Person & Telepsychiatry

A room you can sit in, or secure video. Most people use both.

The office is at 855 Bloomfield Avenue in Glen Ridge. Everything the practice offers can also happen by secure HIPAA-compliant video, or by phone if that works better. Since 2020 almost every psychiatrist offers video; far fewer still keep a room open. You can move between the two as your life requires. For a telehealth appointment you need to be physically located in New Jersey or New York at the time, which is a licensing rule rather than a preference.

  • In person at the Glen Ridge office
  • Secure, HIPAA-compliant video, or phone
  • Appointments Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9am–5pm
  • Telehealth anywhere in NJ and NY

Esketamine for Treatment-Resistant Depression

For depression that has not lifted despite trying the usual medications.

Some depression does not respond to two, three or four different antidepressants. That is common, it is recognised, and it is not a failure on your part. Esketamine is a nasal treatment given in the office under supervision, on a schedule that tapers as you improve. It is not habit-forming. Registration for the practice is in progress and the treatment will be available shortly — raise it on the consultation call if it might apply to you.

  • Given in the Glen Ridge office, under supervision
  • For depression that has not responded to other medication
  • Not habit-forming
  • Coming soon — ask on the consultation call

If any of this is happening right now

Some of what is listed above can become urgent. This practice does not provide emergency or crisis care, and a booking request is not the right channel for it. If you are in danger, or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741, or call 911. They are free and staffed around the clock.

How she works

Evidence first, then the person in front of her.

Dr. Ibeh practices evidence-based medicine and keeps current with the psychiatric literature, because the standard of ten years ago is not automatically right for you today. Where the evidence is strong she will tell you. Where it is thin she will tell you that too, before recommending anything.

What the research cannot tell her is what your life is like. That comes from the sessions. Holding both the therapy and the prescribing means the clinical decisions get made with the full picture rather than a summary, and the plan can change quickly when something is not working.

Who she works with

Adults, seen individually.

  • Adults, seen individually. The practice does not see children or adolescents, and does not offer couples therapy.
  • LGBTQ+ affirming. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary patients are welcome and seen as themselves.
  • Anyone physically located in New Jersey or New York at the time of their appointment.

Investment & insurance

Straight answers about money.

The practice is in network with UnitedHealthcare, on every plan except Medicaid and Medicare. If that is your insurer, you pay your plan’s copay or coinsurance and the office bills UnitedHealthcare directly.

With any other insurer the practice is out of network. Most plans still include out-of-network benefits, and the office submits the reimbursement claim on your behalf rather than handing you a form and leaving you to chase it. What comes back varies by plan, and your insurer is the only one who can tell you the number — it is worth asking them what your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefit is, and whether your deductible has been met.

The self-pay rates are below, in full. You should know what something costs before you book it, not after.

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book the free 15-minute consultation yourself. If a doctor or therapist referred you, bring their name and any records you have. Dr. Ibeh asks your written permission before she contacts anyone. Most people arrive on their own, having read a little and decided to make one call.

Can I come for therapy only, or medication only?

Either works. Some people come for medication management and keep the therapist they already trust. Others want therapy with a psychiatrist who can prescribe later if that turns out to be useful. You do not have to decide before the first appointment. The evaluation is where the two of you work out which fits.

How long before I notice a difference?

That depends on the diagnosis and the treatment. Antidepressants often take four to six weeks to show their full effect, and Dr. Ibeh will tell you what to expect from your own medication when she prescribes it. Therapy tends to build more gradually. She will not give you a timeline she cannot stand behind.

Can you work with my therapist or my primary care doctor?

Yes, and it often helps. With your written consent she will speak to your therapist, your obstetrician or your primary care doctor, so everyone is working from the same plan. Nothing is shared without your permission. If you would rather keep this part of your care separate, that is a fine choice too.

Do you see children or teenagers?

No. The practice is adults only, seen individually. If you are looking for care for a child or adolescent, Psychology Today’s directory lets you filter for child and adolescent psychiatrists in New Jersey and New York, and your pediatrician is usually the fastest route to a referral.

Not sure which of these you need?

That is what the first call is for. Fifteen minutes, no cost, and you will leave it knowing what the next step would look like.
