Adult & Child/Adolescent Psychiatry | Consultation–Liaison Psychiatry | Academic Medicine
Dr. Sportelli’s path to psychiatry was anything but conventional. Before becoming a physician, he worked in acting, modeling, fitness, and biological sciences, experiences that shaped his ability to understand people, communicate with clarity, and recognize the deep connection between mind, body, behavior, and identity.
Today, he brings that full perspective into his work as a psychiatrist, media expert, speaker, academic leader, and public educator. His approach is grounded in science, sharpened by clinical experience, and delivered with the kind of empathy that makes complex topics feel understandable.
Every chapter, the performer, the trainer, the scientist, the clinician, prepared him to sit across from a patient and say: I see you, I understand what you’re experiencing, and I’m here to help.
As Seen On:
Private Practice
Care That Goes Far Beyond the 15–Minute Appointment
His approach is truly integrative, drawing on existential and psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and logotherapy alongside the most current advances in neuroscience and neuropharmacology. He never treats a diagnosis, but a human being.
Speaking & Media
A Rare Combination in Medicine
There are thousands of psychiatrists. There are very few who can command a television set, hold a stadium audience, anchor a podcast, and then deliver sophisticated, personalized care the next morning, with equal credibility, warmth, and authority.
Dr. Sportelli brings deep clinical range, from everyday anxiety and ADHD to complex mood and psychotic disorders, plus expertise most psychiatrists rarely discuss publicly: ketamine, psychedelic-assisted therapy, TMS, ECT, and the forensic psychiatry behind the high-profile cases that capture national attention. He weaves Western medicine, Eastern philosophy, and relationship science into conversations that resonate far beyond the clinic. Simultaneously, he brings the receipts of clinical science to the topics already going viral online. Book Dr. Sportelli to speak on any of the following topics.

My Mission
“Whether I’m with a patient, on a national stage, or lending my voice to a cause I believe in, one conviction drives everything I do: mental health is the foundation. Everyone deserves a physician who treats it that way, with science, clarity, and compassion. No one left alone, misunderstood, or without the guidance they deserve.”
