I cannot recommend Dr. Samuel Reinfeld enough. From the very first visit, he exudes patience and genuine care. He listens deeply, takes the time to understand, and offers thoughtful guidance.

I had a virtual meeting with Dr Richard Satraino today and I must say this is the first doctor to take his time and actually listen to what I was saying. Highly recommend him. Been seeing him for awhile now and I still have the same exact opinion. Still have the same exact opinion of Dr Satraino but the front desk could not possibly be worse.

How DNA Insights Can Support Your Treatment Journey
Every person’s body processes psychiatric medications differently. What works wonderfully for one individual might cause frustrating side effects or minimal relief for another. GeneSight® Testing analyzes specific genes in your DNA that influence how your body metabolizes medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other conditions.
Through a quick, painless cheek swab at our Nassau County office, GeneSight® provides valuable data that helps our clinicians select options with a higher likelihood of success—sparing you unnecessary stress, time, and discomfort.
Feeling heard should start even before your first session.
At Community Minds, we don’t just book appointments—we build relationships that work for you. Before we match you with a provider, someone from our friendly intake team will give you a quick call. We’ll listen to what you’re looking for (your goals, your schedule, and your preferences), so we can connect you with the right therapist or prescriber from the start. We’re here to make sure you get the support you need.
- Appointments that work for you, in-person or online
- Day, evening and weekend availability
- We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Aetna, TRICARE, NYSHIP, Humana, and more.
- Therapy, medication, or both. Whatever's right for you.

- ADHD testing and management (in-person and virtual)
Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch within the next 24 hours (or the next business day). We’re here to help, and make it as easy as possible for you.
