Shaheen Ali

As a board-certified psychiatrist, I focus on complex intersections between mental and medical needs, with specializations in women’s reproductive mental health, psychotic disorders, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns like post-stroke and traumatic brain injuries. Whether managing mood shifts around pregnancy or navigating anxiety related to chronic medical issues, I’m here to help you find balance and resilience. In our sessions, you’ll find a space to be open and feel understood. I bring years of experience in hospital and outpatient care—fast-paced environments like NYU Langone’s ER, along with specialized experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psycho-oncology. I integrate medication management, mindfulness, and insight-oriented therapy alongside a passion for the artist’s mind and the intersections of psyche, humor, and creativity. These approaches help patients reach meaningful insights, especially those with a creative disposition or complex personal history. I value each patient’s unique story, helping you uncover deeper resilience and move toward a more joyful, balanced life. Let’s work together to break down stigma and help you feel safe and empowered.
