Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • 8.3 mi away • New York, NY


I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, attention difficulties, mood instability, and major life transitions. I also support individuals in understanding how identity, relationships, culture, faith, and immigration experiences may influence their emotional well-being. I welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, with additional training in trauma-informed treatment , Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) and dialectical behavior therapy(DBT).

When medication is appropriate, I will explain the available options and work with you to create a treatment plan that reflects your symptoms, preferences, medical history, and personal goals. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Are you... A young adult struggling in the attempt to to navigate life transitions, school, the workforce, family life or other issues?
Or a couple having trouble finding the right words to communicate and find expression in your relationship?
You can thrive.



Hi! I’m Hudi Kowalsky, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a passion to help teens and young adults find meaning and purpose in their lives.



How my practice is different:


Goal Focused Therapy. I believe in short, goal-focused therapy. That’s why, we set goals and together we hit the ground running. If you put in the work, you’ll see results within 12 weeks. I know that’s a bold statement, but my past clients can attest to that.


Client Feedback. I check in periodically on your thoughts about the process. I want to hear from you, what’s working? What isn’t? Is there anything that you’d like to see different? And then I tweak it accordingly.



I know it can be hard to find the right therapist. Maybe you think it’s only for people with “serious” issues. Maybe you’ve been to a few therapists but you didn’t see change and you’re wondering what another therapist can offer you. Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think of you if you go to therapy. Maybe you’re not sure therapy is worth the investment.



I understand. That’s why I’m here to answer any questions you may have prior to booking an intake session.
