Depression Psychiatrists in New York

I am a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in general adult psychiatry. I create a non-judgmental, patient-centered environment that fosters open communication and collaboration, and I emphasize individualized care that integrates medicine, lifestyle interventions, and psychotherapy. My treatment plans are grounded in the understanding that mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals, then work collaboratively to create a personalized treatment plan, ensuring clarity, respect, and patient involvement throughout the process.

I completed my General Psychiatry Residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, where I served as Chief Resident in my final year of training. I earned my MD from the American University of the Caribbean, a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Southern Methodist University. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a uniquely comprehensive and well-rounded approach to psychiatric care. Having served in multiple roles, including case manager, psychotherapist, and program/clinical director, I have a deep understanding of patient care across various settings and perspectives.

I take a collaborative approach, working closely with each patient to understand their emotional needs and medication preferences. I value a team-based approach, integrating input from patients and other care providers to create a holistic treatment plan that supports overall well-being. During initial evaluations, I gather a thorough history, including medical background, mental health concerns, and personal goals. I review past medication trials, discuss previous experiences with providers, and assess each patient's comfort level with new treatments. Together, my patients and I develop individualized plans to support long-term mental health and wellness.

I am Mahreen Rashid, PMHNP, with over ten years of experience treating patients with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses across inpatient, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. While I have cared for children, adolescents, and adults, my primary focus and passion is supporting adults with their mental health needs. I earned my medical degree and completed my training with a commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.

I believe in looking at the whole person in their environment when working with my patients. I come from a nonjudgmental and empathetic standpoint and genuinely want to put the patient's goals and values first. I have experience in treating patients with anxiety, depression, OCD, Bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and tend to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques in treatment. I have knowledge and interest in human motivation and performance related issues, and utilize Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness skills to assist my patients with these concerns.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Rochester, where I studied Psychology and Brain & Cognitive Science, and then pursued my Master's degree in Social Work at the State University of New York at Buffalo. After completing my Master's degree, I began working at an outpatient cancer center where I provided care coordination and therapeutic support to patients and their families enduring cancer diagnoses, treatments, and end of life. I then worked to pursue my clinical license working with adults with significant and persistent mental illness in an outpatient setting. In that role, I functioned not only as a primary therapist but also as the crisis team leader, providing supervision to other clinicians and assisting clients both in the clinic and the community.

With warmth and respect, I meet each patient where they are, helping them find the path that works best for their unique needs and goals.

A Long Island native, I earned my bachelor's degree from Cornell University before attending St. George's University School of Medicine, and I completed my adult and child psychiatry training at Brown University.

I try to take a person-centered approach to psychiatry. I spend time getting to know each person and take a collaborative approach to medication management while providing supportive therapy. I believe that the relationship is one of the most important aspects of treatment. I am open to working with most diagnoses including Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, ADHD, Personality Disorders, and others, and I will work with each person to develop a treatment plan that works for them.

I am a Board Certified adult psychiatrist who integrates a friendly and collaborative approach to treating psychiatric conditions. For me, building strong therapeutic relationships is key to helping patients achieve their goals.

I use a collaborative, narrative-informed approach that centers each patient's lived experience and values. My integrative method helps individuals recognize emotional and behavioral patterns shaped by cultural, relational, and systemic factors. I am committed to providing culturally responsive and identity-affirming care, with a particular focus on immigrant communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and high-performance professionals.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Materials Science and NanoEngineering from Rice University, my medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and completed my psychiatry residency training at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Now based in New York City, I bring a broad geographic and cultural perspective, having previously lived in China, Canada, Illinois, California, Texas, and Mississippi.

I believe that my rapport with my patients, and our therapeutic work together, is just as important as the medication I prescribe to heal or alleviate their symptoms. I strongly believe that treatment decisions are best approached as a collaboration between patient and doctor. I employ psychodynamic therapy techniques, at times, to help those patients who would like to explore childhood experiences that may continue to impact them in their adult lives. With respect to medication management, I regularly help patients target symptoms such as sleep issues, nightmares, persistent worry, emotional dysregulation, frequent mood changes, impulsivity, and "toning down the nervous system," among others. I see young adults who are just starting their journey into adulthood, as well as adults who have been navigating life with challenges, which may include untreated, or poorly treated, mental health symptoms. Often, by the time I see a patient, they may have lost a significant amount of faith in their mental health doctors, and I am particularly attuned to helping individuals with this type of experience.

I then went on to work at the New Orleans Veterans Affairs Hospital for the last five years in its ambulatory outpatient mental health clinic. Though my passion is Complex Trauma/PTSD, I also regularly saw veteran patients who have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and adjustment disorder. During my five years at the New Orleans VA, I received three special commendations from the director of the VA for feedback from my patients about my effective integrative approach to supportive psychotherapy and medication management.

Rather than focus primarily on illness or problems, my approach is to first evaluate patients comprehensively, then utilize what's learned from this to treat and empower them to make and then practice choices that lead to improved health and well-being, using an integrative model that recognizes that mental, physical, social, and spiritual health are one.
