Dr. Cecile Matip, MD MPH
American Board Certified in Child & Adult Neurology and Psychiatry
Being a mother of 6 children I know the importance of mental health and how difficult it is to find the right doctor. One aspect of my practice involves helping patients of all ages to reassess their current medication regimen or explore the possibility of tapering off their medication. I understand that medication can be a useful tool in managing mental health symptoms, it is important to regularly reassess the effectiveness and side effects of any medication a patient is taking and evaluate the benefits and risks of their current medication to determine if any changes need to be made.
If a patient is interested in tapering off their medication, I work with them to develop a plan that is safe and appropriate for their individual needs. This may involve gradually reducing the dosage of their medication or exploring alternative treatment options.I believe that it is important for patients to be fully informed about their treatment options.
As a licensed psychiatrist, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and achieve their full potential. I believe that mental health care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or circumstances. That is why I have decided to offer online telepsychiatry services through my practice.
Dr. Matip's Success Stories
Dr. Matip is a very gifted and incredibly intuitive doctor and counselor! Her approach is wholistic - She integrates traditional psychiatry/psychology with nutritional advice, exercise, lifestyle, etc. (It is very difficult to find a practitioner who treats the whole person rather than just the brain!) She is steadfastly dedicated to helping her patients improve their well-being and to live optimally. She has been very supportive of me as a patient and given her time and her knowledge so generously to me - She goes out of her way and truly cares. I am grateful to have found her and to have had her guidance!

I would recommend Fulton Family Psychological Service to anyone and everyone! Dr. Matip works with and even if you’re working with another person in her practice she will take the time and reach out to you! Her practice is fantastic!!!!

I found FFP and Dr. Matip via the Mad In America provider directory, and I am SO THANKFUL there is a psychiatry practice in upstate NY with providers whose approaches align with my goals (i.e., holistic treatments and getting OFF the horrid psych meds that I never should have been put on). They even take my insurance!! They took the time to walk me through all the new patient paperwork on the phone, which was appreciated, and I was able to get an intake appointment with Bobby (P.A.) in less than 10 days. I was referred to Dr. Matip soon after and appreciated how much time she spent with me in our first two appointments. Dr. Matip is no-nonsense, very knowledgeable, responsive to my needs and questions between appointments, and most importantly, not beholden to the pharmaceutical industry... I had nearly lost all my faith and trust in the medical system, but Dr. Matip has given me hope. Everyone at FFP has been incredibly empathetic and helpful. Highly recommend!!

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Cecil’s thoroughness and genuine concern for my well-being have made a significant difference in my health journey. I highly recommend Fulton Family Psychiatry to anyone seeking comprehensive and empathetic psychiatric care. They truly go above and beyond to support their patients.

Lori
I came to Dr. Matip during a scary time for myself mentally. The symptoms I was experiencing were nuanced and I was trying to strike a balance between recovering, maintaining employment & avoiding the process of taking random medications hoping that they helped that I've avoided the past few years. I have been so honestly shocked at just how thorough the process has been just far. How in-depth Dr. Matip's responses are and how much specificity she has captured in just a brief time. Her first line of defense is everything but medications that can have life-altering complications and a compassionate lense to a tricky mental health history. I was feeling so scared about where things are heading and I feel relieved knowing I have found a highly competent psychiatrist, who cares, and isn't quick to judge but also stands behind the knowledge that she has. I'm just feeling really thankful about the whole thing - to have someone in my corner who really gets how I want to go about my own healing.
Dylan
The Doctors are very caring and empathetic. The two most important aspects for my health. While a bit holistic with the vitamins, I do as instructed and feel better for it. Their approach is scientific and up to date on peer reviewed research. I highly recommend them as a patient for the last five plus years. Love Dr Griswold and Matip, especially.
Romeyn
I have been a patient of Fulton Family Psychiatry for over 3 years. I have worked with both Dr. Matip and Bella Sirota. The thing that is most notable to me is the level of genuine compassion that both providers have shown toward me. They listen to me and I feel that they care for me as an individual, not just a patient or a medical record number. I feel extremely validated and valued by them. They both are intelligent and knowledgeable about medications and supplements that have positive effects on mental health. I feel blessed that I am a patient in this practice and feel as though I am making marked progress in my treatment.
Laura
One of the most caring team of providers and I always recommend them to anyone who needs care. Dr. Matip is one of the best providers I have meet and very knowledgeable.
Christopher
We've had a wonderful experience with this practice. We've primarily worked with Dr. Matip and Nicole, however the initial intake completed by the staff who were attentive and helpful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about both Dr. Matip and Nicole- they're engaged and interested in the care of their patients. I feel their holistic approach to patients with ADHD and anxiety has been beneficial. We're not just receiving pills, we're getting therapy and alternative plans for difficult situations. I'm so thankful we're part of the practice.
