Dr. Amarjot Surdhar, M.D.
Psychiatrist | Executive Coach | Addiction Specialist | Crisis Expert
I help high-functioning professionals break through burnout, anxiety, and addiction—so they can reclaim control, perform at their peak, and feel like themselves again.
My journey into psychiatry began with a mentor—an old-school psychoanalyst who taught me the art of listening not just to symptoms, but to what was unsaid. Since then, I’ve spent over a decade treating more than 25,000 patients, from boardroom leaders and physicians to creatives, parents, and overwhelmed high achievers—each one a unique story, never just a diagnosis.
I’ve run one of the busiest psychiatric emergency rooms in Queens, often in the dead of night, de-escalating crises, delivering difficult news, and helping families navigate the chaos of mental health emergencies. That experience taught me something no textbook ever could: a patient’s symptoms are just the surface—underneath is a life, a family, a context. My strength lies in seeing the patterns behind the panic, the emotion beneath the mask.
Today, I run a private, concierge-style psychiatry practice in Midtown Manhattan, built for people who are functioning on the outside but struggling inside. These are the patients who hold it together all day, only to fall apart when the door closes at night.
What I Treat Best:
High-achieving professionals with anxiety, depression, or emotional exhaustion
Executive burnout masked by overwork, substances, or perfectionism
Substance misuse in people who “should be fine” but aren’t
Complex mood disorders that haven’t responded to traditional care
Whether you’re numbing with alcohol, white-knuckling through panic, or simply can’t afford to keep running on fumes—I offer a judgment-free zone where you can talk honestly, think clearly, and take action.
Why Work With Me:
Real Experience. I’ve led psychiatric teams, coached doctors, trained residents, and consulted on transplant cases for major hospitals. I’ve handled every crisis imaginable—yours won’t surprise me.
Tailored Access. My hybrid model blends discreet in-person sessions near Grand Central with secure telehealth follow-ups—so therapy fits into your life, not the other way around.
Concierge-Style Freedom. I don’t answer to insurance companies. That means longer visits, deeper work, and treatment decisions that serve you, not a billing code.
Flexible Hours. I offer evening and weekend appointments because mental health doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule—and neither do you.
What My Patients Say:
“You’re the first doctor who actually understood what I was trying to say.”
“You see through the performance to the truth—and you don’t flinch.”
“I don’t feel like a patient. I feel like a human being.”
I’m easygoing, honest, and upfront—and I don’t compromise on professionalism or outcomes. My patients aren’t seeking a diagnosis—they want insight, progress, and discretion. If you’re functioning on the outside but falling apart behind the scenes, I built this practice for you.
