About Timothy David Becker, M.D.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Assistant Attending Psychiatrist at the NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health’s Nichols Cottage child and adolescent psychiatry unit, where I work closely with an interdisciplinary team and am involved in teaching child psychiatry residents/fellows. I specialize in both adult and child and adolescent psychiatry and provide comprehensive evaluations and treatment of a range of problems, using both psychotherapy and medication management, as needed. I take a thoughtful, comprehensive, personalized and evidence-based approach, drawing from multiple perspectives, in order to provide effective care.
Dr. Becker completed his undergraduate degree at Cornell University and medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He subsequently completed his adult psychiatry residency at the Mount Sinai Hospital, where he participated in clinical and educational initiatives through the global mental health track. He then completed a clinical fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian’s combined program at Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University, an NIMH R25-supported Shaffer Scholars research fellowship, and served as a chief fellow for research in his final year. His research has focused on child and adolescent psychiatric epidemiology, development of stigma interventions and synthesis of clinical evidence. Dr. Becker is a member of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), where he is involved with development of clinical practice guidelines in child psychiatry as an active member of the Committee on Quality Issues.
