Brooklyn Minds

Brooklyn Minds is a team-based, tech-enabled comprehensive mental health practice offering services for individuals and families across the lifespan. Formed in 2016 by Carlene MacMillan, M.D., a Harvard trained adult and child psychiatrist, and Owen Muir, M.D., a University of Rochester trained adult and child psychiatrist, we have grown to a collaborative group of practitioners including psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, case managers, and technicians.

We specialize in higher complexity and higher acuity cases and our team based-treatment has resulted in decreased utilization of psychiatric emergency room, inpatient and residential levels of care. We have a continuum of care from standard outpatient care all the way up to around the clock in-home mental health companion services. We are known for our expertise in Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT), an evidence-based therapy for personality disorders that has been shown to reduce suicidal ideation and self-harm, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which is FDA cleared for Major Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, and for being one of the first practices in the NYC Region to offer esketamine.

We have 24/7 availability by text or phone call for our patients and flexibility regarding after hours and holiday appointments when there is an appropriate clinical rationale. We conduct appointments via Telehealth and in-person appointments are conducted when clinically necessary. We have clinicians who accept Cigna, United, Medicare, and private pay (with courtesy submission of claims to insurance). Note that not every clinician accepts every insurance listed.
