About Evolve Psychiatry

Led by one of New York's
most credentialed psychiatrists

Evolve Psychiatry was founded on the belief that exceptional mental health care requires both clinical excellence and genuine compassion. We've built a practice that reflects both.

Founder & Chief Medical Officer, Evolve Psychiatry
Adult Psychiatry Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Addiction Medicine National Pharma Speaker MD, MPH

Dr. Bajpayi is a triple board-certified psychiatrist — one of the few physicians in New York certified in Adult Psychiatry, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, AND Addiction Medicine. This rare combination allows him to treat the full spectrum of psychiatric illness across all age groups with integrated care that addresses co-occurring addiction when present.

He is also a national speaker for CAPLYTA, Auvelity, LYBALVI, and REXULTI — representing the pharmaceutical companies whose newest medications he regularly teaches other physicians about. This keeps Evolve at the frontier of psychiatric treatment, ensuring patients have access to the latest and most effective options.

Credentials & Training

Why credentials matter in psychiatry

Board certification isn't just a title — it means passing rigorous examinations and maintaining ongoing education in each specialty. Most psychiatrists hold one board certification. Dr. Bajpayi holds three.

🏥

Adult Psychiatry

Board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology. Expert in diagnosis and treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, and more in adult patients.

👶

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Subspecialty board certification in child and adolescent psychiatry. This additional credential is required to treat minors with the full scope of psychiatric care — most competitors are adults-only.

🔬

Addiction Medicine

Board-certified in Addiction Medicine — enabling comprehensive treatment of substance use disorders alongside psychiatric conditions. Critical for patients with co-occurring mental health and addiction issues.

National Recognition

National pharmaceutical speaker

Pharmaceutical companies recruit only the most respected clinicians to serve as national speakers — physicians who have demonstrated exceptional expertise and peer recognition. Dr. Bajpayi has been selected by four separate pharmaceutical manufacturers.

CAPLYTA

(lumateperone) — bipolar depression & schizophrenia

Auvelity

(dextromethorphan/bupropion) — major depressive disorder

LYBALVI

(olanzapine/samidorphan) — schizophrenia & bipolar I

REXULTI

Our Story

Built from the ground up — by a physician who cares

Evolve Psychiatry was founded with a simple conviction: patients with mental illness deserve the same access to specialized, cutting-edge care that patients with physical illness take for granted.

Starting with a single location in Massapequa, NY, Evolve has grown to 7 locations across New York and North Carolina — with Florida coming soon. At every step, the same standards have applied: only board-certified providers, only evidence-based treatments, always transparent about costs.

We are not a telehealth-only platform. We're a real practice — with real offices, real relationships, and real continuity of care. That difference matters.
