Rachel A. Caravella, MD

As a psychiatrist at NYU Langone, my approach to clinical care is rooted in empathy and collaborative decision-making. I feel honored when patients share their stories with me and privileged to have tools to help them reach their mental health goals. I believe in working together with my patients to develop individualized treatment plans that address both their emotional and medical needs. By integrating psychotherapy with psychopharmacology and, at times, additional referrals, I aim to offer compassionate care that supports healing on multiple levels.

I specialize in consultation–liaison psychiatry, which allows me to work at the interface between physical and mental health. This specialization enables me to collaborate closely with other healthcare providers, ensuring that my patients receive comprehensive, integrated care, particularly in complex medical situations. Additionally, I have a deep commitment to women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry, understanding the unique challenges that women face throughout different stages of life. Whether addressing mood and anxiety disorders related to reproductive health or providing support during pregnancy and postpartum, my goal is to help women take charge of their mental wellbeing.

I am dedicated to fostering strong partnerships with my patients, ensuring a positive and responsive patient experience. My experience also extends to providing care to fellow healthcare professionals and their families, offering support to those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Being part of NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with a diverse team, ensuring coordinated and seamless care for my patients.
