Geriatric Providers

I am a dual board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, integrative care across the adult lifespan in New York State. My background in both medical and psychiatric practice allows me to thoughtfully consider the whole person which involves recognizing the deep connection between physical health, hormonal balance, life transitions, and emotional well-being.

My approach is holistic and root-cause focused. I believe that symptoms are often signals, not simply problems to suppress. Together, we explore the biological, psychological, and environmental factors that may be contributing to distress. This can include medical conditions, hormonal changes, sleep patterns, nutrition, stress load, inflammation, and major life transitions. By understanding the full picture, we can develop a plan that feels intentional, sustainable, and aligned with your goals.

I work with adolescents, adults and older adults, with particular interest in transitional stages of life. Periods such as early adulthood, midlife shifts, perimenopause and menopause, retirement, and aging-related changes can significantly impact both physical and emotional health. I am especially drawn to women’s mental health and the ways hormones and reproductive life stages influence mood, anxiety, cognition, and overall functioning. My medical training allows me to thoughtfully assess these overlapping factors and integrate them into psychiatric care.

I treat a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and complex presentations where medical and psychiatric symptoms intersect. I am particularly attentive to individuals who may feel that their concerns have been overlooked or simplified in the past.

While medication can be an important tool, it is only one part of treatment. When indicated, I take a careful and measured approach to prescribing, with close monitoring and clear communication. I also emphasize lifestyle foundations such as restorative sleep, nourishment, movement, nervous system regulation, and daily structure as essential components of long-term wellness.

My style is warm, collaborative, and thoughtful. I value education and shared decision-making, and I want you to feel informed, heard, and empowered throughout your care. I also work collaboratively with therapists and other healthcare providers to ensure a cohesive and supportive treatment experience.

It is a privilege to walk alongside patients during times of growth, transition, and healing, and I look forward to partnering with you in your care.

I am a board-eligible psychiatrist with training in both medication management and psychotherapy. I earned my undergraduate degree from Emory University and completed my medical education at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine–Harlem Campus. I went on to complete my psychiatry residency at Mount Sinai Morningside–West, where I served as Senior Outpatient Resident during my final year.

My clinical experience in New York City has provided me with exposure to a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic spectrum disorders. I have also worked in specialized settings such as an intensive personality disorders clinic and an intensive outpatient program.

I utilize an integrative, patient-centered approach, incorporating evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), supportive therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I prioritize creating a collaborative and supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable throughout their care.

Christopher Aspromonte, DO, is a psychiatrist who provides comprehensive, individualized care through a combination of medication management and psychotherapy. He works with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and challenges related to stress, relationships, and life transitions.

Dr. Aspromonte takes a thoughtful and deeply personalized approach to treatment. He recognizes that each person’s experience of suffering is unique, often shaped by life experiences, relationships, and patterns that develop over time. His goal is not only to help reduce symptoms, but to help patients better understand themselves and the factors contributing to what they are going through.

His work is grounded in training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, with additional experience in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive and behavioral therapies. He integrates these perspectives with careful medication management and attention to lifestyle factors, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs. For some, treatment may be more focused and solution-oriented; for others, it may involve deeper exploration aimed at creating lasting, meaningful change.

Dr. Aspromonte places strong emphasis on building a trusting, collaborative relationship. He is known for a warm, engaged, and nonjudgmental style, creating a space where patients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.

He has a particular interest in working with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled internally, helping them gain clarity, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a more meaningful and authentic sense of well-being.

Dr. Aspromonte earned his Bachelor of Arts from Fairfield University and his medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his psychiatry residency at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital and is currently continuing advanced training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia.
