Who Can Prescribe ADHD Medication in NJ and NY?
A primary care doctor can sometimes write an ADHD prescription, but the visit that actually works long term usually comes from someone who evaluates and manages ADHD as a core part of their practice.…
If you have a client who could benefit from a psychiatric evaluation or medication management, here's how referring to me works, what to expect, and how to reach me directly.
Self-pay practice · Superbill provided for out-of-network reimbursement
Most of my new patients arrive through a therapist rather than a Google search, and that's by design as much as by accident. A few reasons this tends to work well for both sides:
With your client's consent, I coordinate with you directly, not through a portal or a front desk. If a medication change might affect what you're working on in session, you'll hear about it from me.
Being self-pay means I'm not limited by network panel sizes or insurer-dictated visit frequency. If your client needs to be seen sooner rather than waiting on a psychiatric intake list, that's usually possible.
I do the psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I don't do ongoing psychotherapy, and I'm not trying to become your client's only provider. My role stays in its lane, and I'll refer psychotherapy questions back to you rather than drift into your part of the work.
When stimulants are not appropriate or well tolerated, non-stimulant options such as atomoxetine (Strattera) or guanfacine may be considered. These can suit adults with certain cardiovascular concerns, a history of substance use, or co-occurring anxiety. They generally take longer to reach full effect and are titrated gradually, with monitoring for side effects, as part of an individualized plan.

Most psychiatric prescribing is trial-and-error. My background in
molecular biology — MSc from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with
research at the Weizmann Institute and Mt Sinai — lets me think about
your case at the level of biological pathways, not just symptom
checklists. That means fewer wasted medication trials and a clearer
rationale for every decision.
Adults, adolescents, and children with anxiety, depression, ADHD,
bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, and complex or treatment-
resistant cases. I work especially well with patients who've been let
down by rushed 15-minute medication checks elsewhere.
A 60-minute initial evaluation — in person at my Fort Lee office or via
telehealth anywhere in NJ or NY. We'll go through your full history,
current symptoms, prior treatments, and biological context. You leave
with a clear diagnosis and a specific medication plan, not a maybe.

One of the most nicest, kindest and considerate doctors I met. He went over with me thoroughly on the documents and was generous enough to explain me everything that I asked. I think he is a real doctor of people and not just someone that's write prescriptions.
Michael is an amazing professional! He truly invests in his patients and provides care and feedback even during off hours. Although we have only been using his services for a short time, he already stands out as caring, knowledgeable, and confident in his approach. We plan to continue using his services and would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Dr Michael Feldman is an amazing doctor. He prescribed the proper medication in the right dosage for me. He did this because he listens and asks very good questions. I highly recommend him
Michael Feldman is a wonderful and caring P.A. He always gives 100%. He listens attentively and provides many insights I would never thought of by myself. I find having him in my corner invaluable and I could not recommend him more highly. He's the best!
Michael Feldman is an excellent doctor! Very knowledgeable, attentive to patient's needs, caring, great bedside manners! Highly recommend!
I met Michael Feldman after years of search and trial and error. If you look for a professional who is invested in his patient's progress, research-oriented, with a deep understanding of the body-mind connection and a wholistic approach to treatment, look no further.
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Feldman and truly feel fortunate to have found such a compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatrist for my teenager son. From the very first appointment, they took the time to listen without judgment and made me feel genuinely understood. Their explanations were clear, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence, which helped me feel confident in my treatment plan. The office staff is also friendly and efficient, making scheduling and follow‑ups easy. I highly recommend Dr. Feldman to anyone seeking a psychiatrist, especially for children.
My dad was recommended to see Dr. Feldman through his psychologist. He got him on track with medication and I finally feel like he’s himself again. Speaks Hebrew fluently as well which was a plus. Would recommend to anyone looking for an attentive and kind professional. Thank you!!
I was looking for support in working through my trauma. From the very first moment, I felt a comfortable atmosphere, even though the meetings were held via Zoom. It was clear that Mikhail was truly listening and delving into the problem. After each session, I felt empowered and calm. I definitely recommend Mikhail Feldman as an excellent specialist.
Great medication management! I was worried about the correct path to take to improve my mental health, and Michael really helped to properly explain my options and recommending the right medication. Highly recommend!
Dr. Feldman is very professional, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable. Appointments always run on time. After we switched to him, he immediately recognized that the previous diagnosis was incorrect. We’re very confident in his care and look forward to continuing with him.
I do not take insurance. Self-pay allows time for a thorough evaluation and coordinated follow-up.
Initial evaluation (up to 50 minutes): $350
Follow-up visit: $300
Discovery call: free, about 10 minutes
You pay at the visit and I provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
Things patients usually want to know before reaching out.
No. I handle the psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I don’t provide ongoing psychotherapy, and I’ll actively point clients back toward that work with you rather than let the lines blur.
The most commonly prescribed are stimulants: mixed ampheta
With your client’s consent, yes. I’ll reach out directly about relevant medication changes or anything that affects the therapeutic work, rather than leaving you to piece it together from what your client mentions in session.
mine salts (Adderall), lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse), methylphenidate (Ritalin), and extended-release formulations such as Concerta. They improve focus, impulse control, and executive function and are first-line for many adults. Non-stimulant options such as atomoxetine or guanfacine may be used when stimulants are not suitable or well tolerated. Selection is individualized to your history and response.
A free discovery call is usually available within a few days, and full evaluations typically within one to two weeks. Being self-pay means I’m not constrained by insurance panel scheduling limits.
No. A referral through the form above, or simply your client mentioning your name when they reach out, is enough. If your client’s situation would benefit from more clinical context up front, feel free to include it in the form.
I’ll always be upfront with a prospective client about cost before booking anything, and a free 10-minute discovery call is the right place to work through fit if cost is a concern. I’m not able to offer sliding scale or insurance billing, so for clients where that’s a hard constraint, I’m glad to suggest other options if I know of any in the area.
No. I’m only licensed in NJ and NY, so I can’t take on clients located elsewhere even with a referral.
I’ll say so directly and help point toward the right resource rather than keep someone in a setting that isn’t sufficient. This comes up most with eating disorders and some complex mood presentations.
