Professional statement

Dr. Elisabeth Gray is a psychiatrist who provides evidence-based medication management for adults with a wide range of mental health concerns. She treats depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, and women's mental health concerns, including reproductive psychiatry. Dr. Gray does not treat ADD. She welcomes patients from diverse backgrounds and has a particular interest in providing affirming, compassionate care to members of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender individuals.

Dr. Gray believes that effective psychiatric care begins with listening carefully and understanding each patient's unique experiences. She enjoys the thoughtful, investigative nature of psychiatry—looking beyond symptoms to understand the whole person and working collaboratively to develop an individualized treatment plan. Her approach is warm, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based care, with the goal of helping patients achieve meaningful and lasting improvement.

Dr. Gray's path to psychiatry has been anything but conventional. After earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Studio Art from Williams College and a master's degree in Mathematics from Syracuse University, she spent years teaching college mathematics before working as an EMT. Those experiences inspired her to pursue medicine, and she went on to earn her medical degree from SUNY Upstate Medical University. She later served patients through the New York State Office of Mental Health and the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (formerly the Office of Addiction and Substance Abuse Services), gaining extensive experience treating individuals with complex psychiatric and substance use disorders.

Through Skypiatrist, Dr. Gray provides secure, HIPAA-compliant telepsychiatry appointments, allowing patients to receive high-quality psychiatric care from the comfort and privacy of their own home. She enjoys using technology to make psychiatric treatment more accessible while maintaining the thoughtful, personal connection that is central to effective mental health care.
