Welcome
I am Dr. Amarjot Surdhar, a psychiatrist double board-certified in General and Addiction Psychiatry, with more than 15 years of clinical experience. My practice is built on evidence-based care, respect, compassion, and patience for each person’s unique story, along with practical strategies that help you move forward at a comfortable pace.
I have trained and served in inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings across the Greater New York area. I have experience supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders, as well as substance use, including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana. I have extensive experience with buprenorphine and methadone, and when it would be helpful, I can arrange supportive testing through LabCorp for people receiving treatment for substance use or controlled medications.
My care combines medication management, therapy-informed approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, and coordination with a trusted network of therapists. When complete abstinence is not yet possible, I also support harm-reduction approaches, always with kindness and without judgment. I also have experience with court-mandated and forensic settings, and I am glad to help patients navigate both clinical and legal systems with care.
Many of the adults I see are busy professionals who value private, convenient, and considerate access to care. Care is offered through Clarion Psychiatry, a private, concierge-style practice that provides a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and through Prism Psychiatric Services, which offers insurance-based care. I would be glad to help you choose the one that suits you best.
Visits take place at 315 Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, near Grand Central Terminal, or by secure telehealth. Please follow this link to connect with me.
