Lana Irons MD - Psychiatrist Specializing in Trauma
My goal as a psychiatrist is to help facilitate the changes, growth, and inner-work necessary for individuals to grapple with and process through the patterns and experiences that leave them disconnected in their relationships, in their communities, and with themselves.
I am a board certified Psychiatrist and Psychotherapist with training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy and other trauma related psychotherapies, and somatic treatment techniques. I have been in training and practicing in Brooklyn New York for 6+ years.
I have expertise in working with clients with diagnoses of PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, substance use disorders, borderline personality disorder, and dissociative disorders. My expertise and experience also includes individuals with histories of complex childhood and adulthood trauma including intimate partner violence, community violence, and individuals with histories of experiencing family violence, abuse, and neglect.
Services
Psychiatric Medication Management
Psychiatric medication treatment involves the use of prescribed drugs to manage symptoms of mental health disorders. These medications are typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include therapy, lifestyle changes, and support systems. The goal of medication is to help stabilize mood, reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms and improve overall functioning and quality of life.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Psychotherapy can help not only alleviate symptoms, but also, certain types of psychotherapies can help identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition so a person can function better and have enhanced emotional well-being and healing (APA, 2025).
The psychotherapy modalities that I use in treatment are tailored based on the specific client needs. I have training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Supportive Psychotherapy techniques. The length of time in psychotherapy is based on the client’s treatment goals.
Rates
I currently do not take any medical insurance. However I can submit a Superbill for out of network reimbursement. Rates are based off of time spent in the appointment and the treatment provided ie. Psychotherapy or Medication Management. More can be discussed during the initial free consultation.
Treatment Location
