Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric condition marked by restriction of food intake, an intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted perception of body weight or shape. It carries real physical risk, and effective treatment nearly always involves more than one type of provider working together: a therapist for the psychological work, often a dietitian for nutritional rehabilitation, and a psychiatric provider for evaluation, medication when appropriate, and medical oversight. My role is the psychiatric piece of that team.
The initial evaluation covers eating patterns, weight history, physical symptoms, and the anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms that frequently occur alongside anorexia. I also ask what other providers are already involved, because anorexia is rarely treated well by one clinician working alone.
There is no medication that treats anorexia directly, and I am direct with patients about that. Where medication helps is with the anxiety, depression, or obsessive thinking that often accompanies and maintains the eating disorder. When those conditions are present and treated, patients often find the psychological work of recovery more accessible.
Anorexia affects the whole body, not just eating behavior. I track weight, vital signs, and relevant lab values as part of ongoing care, and I coordinate with a primary care physician for the medical monitoring that outpatient psychiatric care alone does not cover.
With your consent, I communicate directly with your therapist and dietitian so that everyone involved in your care is working from the same picture. If you do not yet have a therapist or dietitian experienced in eating disorders, I can help you find one. Recovery from anorexia is a team effort, and a fragmented team makes it harder.
Outpatient psychiatric care is appropriate for many patients with anorexia, but not all. If weight, vital signs, or lab values indicate medical instability, or if outpatient treatment has not led to progress, a higher level of care such as an intensive outpatient program, partial hospitalization, or inpatient medical stabilization may be the safer and more effective option. Part of my role is recognizing that threshold and helping you access the right level of care rather than keeping you in a setting that is not sufficient.

Founder · Physician Assistant–Certified
Before clinical practice I spent over ten years in molecular and cellular biology research at the Weizmann Institute of Science and Mount Sinai. Eating disorders are among the psychiatric conditions with the clearest biological components, and that background shapes how I think about the medical side of anorexia care, not only the psychological side.
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, including when they occur alongside anxiety, depression, OCD or ADHD. I work as part of a coordinated care team with your therapist and dietitian.
A 60-minute initial evaluation, in person in Fort Lee or by telehealth across New Jersey and New York. Honest guidance about whether outpatient care is the right level, and coordinated communication with the rest of your treatment team.

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.

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 medication treats anorexia directly. Medication can help with the anxiety, depression, or obsessive thinking that frequently occur alongside it, which often makes the rest of treatment, including nutritional rehabilitation and therapy, more effective. I am direct with patients about what medication can and cannot do here.
I monitor weight, vital signs, and relevant lab values as part of ongoing care, and I coordinate with your primary care physician for anything that falls outside psychiatric management. Anorexia affects the whole body, and medication management without medical monitoring is not adequate care for this condition.
For most patients with anorexia, yes. My role is the psychiatric evaluation and medication management. Recovery is best supported by a coordinated team that usually includes a therapist for the psychological work and a dietitian for nutritional rehabilitation. If you do not already have those providers, I can help you find them.
Outpatient psychiatric care is appropriate for many patients, but not everyone with anorexia is medically stable enough for it, and some patients need more support than weekly appointments provide. If your weight, vital signs, or lab values indicate instability, or if outpatient treatment has not led to progress, I will tell you directly and help you access a higher level of care such as an intensive outpatient program or medical stabilization.
Yes, for patients who are medically stable enough for outpatient telehealth care. I am licensed in New Jersey and New York and provide ongoing medication management by telehealth across both states. In-person visits are available at the Fort Lee, NJ office.
Yes. These conditions are common alongside anorexia and often need to be addressed together rather than separately. Anxiety and OCD in particular can maintain restrictive eating patterns, so treating them is frequently part of what allows the eating disorder itself to improve.
Yes, with your consent. Coordinated communication between everyone on your treatment team is one of the most important parts of effective anorexia care, and I make it a standard part of how I work rather than something that happens only when problems arise.
No referral is required. You can book directly through this site or start with a free 15-minute discovery call to check whether outpatient psychiatric care here is the right fit for where you are now.
I personally read every inquiry and respond within one business day.
