Previously known as Sabina E. Preter, MD
Welcome to my Upper West Side practice, where I provide in-person psychiatric and psychoanalytic care for children, adolescents, and adults up to early middle age. My approach is developmental and individualized, helping each patient understand how present challenges relate to their personal history, family background, and overall life story.
I am a New York State–licensed, board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst with over 20 years of private practice experience in Manhattan. My peers have recognized me as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for more than ten consecutive years (2015–2025).
I provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric and psychoanalytic care for children, adolescents, and adults up to early middle age.
Children – Support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment difficulties, and trauma, in collaboration with parents and schools when appropriate.
Teens & Young Adults – Treatment for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, body image concerns, and eating disorders, including support for challenges stemming from the social and emotional disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adults – Care for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and work-related challenges, through psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
Medication treatment, when helpful, is always provided in combination with psychotherapy.
My practice is welcoming and respectful of patients from diverse backgrounds, including those of varied cultural, linguistic, and LGBTQ+ identities.
