A Lifelong Commitment to Helping Others
Dr. Juan A. Rivolta grew up in Tucumán, Argentina. From a young age, Dr. Rivolta was passionate about science and education, and he enjoyed working with diverse populations. His fascination with the human brain and behavior, as well as a specific interest in pharmacology inspired him to dive into psychiatry early in his medical career. Dr. Rivolta earned his Medical Doctor degree from the National University of Tucumán in 1997 and later received his first training in child and adolescent psychiatry in Buenos Aires.
Expanding Expertise
In 2001, Dr. Rivolta moved to New York City, where he gained a wealth of experience working as a research manager at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) and as an Adjunct Instructor at New York University (NYU). These roles broadened Dr. Rivolta’s perspective on New York's healthcare system and its rich cultural diversity and allowed him to participate actively in mental health advocacy and prevention programs for almost a decade. His work at CUMC helped in the publication of several scientific articles and set him on the path back to clinical psychiatry.
Advanced Training and Leadership in Psychiatry
Dr. Rivolta pursued advanced training in adult psychiatry at the Mount Sinai’s Bronx-Care program and completed a two-year fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at New York Medical College’s WMC program. He later served as an Attending Psychiatrist at Westchester Medical Center, where he held several key leadership roles, including Chief of the Inpatient Latency Unit, Associate Program Director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship, and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. These experiences solidified his dedication to delivering high-quality psychiatric care and fostering the next generation of mental health professionals.
Comprehensive Psychiatric Care
Dr. Rivolta's professional journey reflects the practice's mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and positively impact patients and families. Our practice offers medication management services and psychotherapy to children and adults with mental health afflictions. We see every patient as a unique individual and follow a holistic approach, taking in account not only neuropsychiatric symptoms, but also psychological, social and environmental factors impacting mental health.
