James Stanek, D.O.

Hi, I’m Dr. James Stanek — a board-certified (ABPB) psychiatrist who believes mental health care should feel welcoming, not intimidating.

I started my journey in Oregon, where I completed my undergraduate, master’s, and medical school training. After moving to New York for residency, I worked as both an inpatient psychiatrist and a consult-liaison psychiatrist, helping people through some of their toughest moments.

I also serve as a psychiatrist in the U.S. Army Reserve, where I continue to support the mental health and resilience of service members — an experience that shapes my grounded, collaborative approach to care.

I started BLT Psychiatry to make compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care more accessible and comfortable. My philosophy is simple: thoughtful treatment, clear communication, and care that meets you in your space and moves at your pace.
