Getting to know Dr. Ahmed Enaitalla
Hello!
I am Dr. Ahmed Enaitalla - I am an Egyptian-American, Black, Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist who specializes in psychological evaluation and testing, as well as in psychotherapy.
I attained my PhD in Clinical Forensic Psychology from CUNY John Jay College and have worked in a wide variety of settings including college counseling centers, community treatment facilities, hospitals, and centers serving U.S military personnel and other first responders. I completed my residency training at NYU/Bellevue Hospital.
I provide evidence-based treatments to help clients deal with a widespread range of illnesses including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also help clients deal with relationship issues; family troubles; career related problems; and conflicts related to issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation.
In addition to psychotherapy services, I also offer independent psychological evaluations, including:
-ADHD Evaluations & Psychiatry Referrals
-Bariatric/Pre-Surgery Clearances
-College Mental Health Academic Appeals/Disability Accommodations
-Personality Testing
I also offer various forensic evaluations (Please note, forensic evaluations are not covered by insurance)
- Immigration Evaluations (E.g. T or U Visa; VAWA)
- Fitness for Duty for Local and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies (EXCLUDING NYPD and Nassau County Titles)
- Suicide/Violence Risk
- Sentence Mitigation
- Competency to Stand Trial
- Criminal Responsibility/Mental State at Time of Offense (MSO)
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can always expect a warm, empathetic, and validating environment where they are given the space they deserve to express themselves without judgement. Moreover, they can expect symptom alleviation and the development of good coping skills that will serve them for a lifetime as they continue to tackle life's challenges and strive for continued growth.
I take an approach to therapy that focuses on both symptom alleviation while also working towards self-development, racial/gender/sexual identity affirmation, and self-acceptance.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe the key to successful treatment is through proper evaluation and diagnosis. Whether you are starting treatment for the first time, or if you feel like you have been misdiagnosed, I can help you gain a better understanding of your mental health and help answer your questions about your experiences and struggles. That is why the initial session or two focuses on conducting a thorough evaluation and may entail psychological testing if needed and desired.
From there, we then collaboratively decide on what you would like to address in treatment and we develop a treatment plan. For most clients, treatment is conducted once a week, every week - though this can be modified based on the client's needs.

Dr. Enaitalla is to the patient what a Jedi master is to a young padawan. I came seeking a therapy experience that was more productive than those I've had in the past. I was not interested in "a space to vent" but in guidance on how to prevent my anxiety from further enslaving my life. Dr. Enaitalla heard my request and delivered. In our sessions we put names and origins to intrusive habits and fears, practiced cognitive and behavioral techniques to regain psychic homeostasis, and leveraged week-to-week assignments to emerge bit by bit from the pit of despair. I do not have the same mind as I did before working with Dr. Enaitalla. I now have practical and effective tools with which I have laid down a solid foundation for a healthier mental state. Dr. Enaitalla is an example of the rare health provider who is deeply knowledgeable in his field and applies empathy, optimism, and an orientation towards growth in his practice.

Dr. E was warm, friendly and compassionate. His empathy and validation created a space of safety and comfort that allowed for me to be vulnerable and open up during our first session. I anticipate that my therapeutic journey will be in safe hands.

I hired Dr. E for an immigration evaluation for my father. He did the evaluation on very short notice and had the report finished the next day. Very professional and friendly. Thank you Doctor

I was excited to find a doctor from the same cultural background as me. It made me feel much more connected and relaxed to talk about things that I couldn't really talk to my family about. Very grateful for all the skills and help I got from therapy with Dr. Ahmed.

Admed was wonderful and I really felt at ease speaking to him. Speaking to someone has always been difficult for me but I truly thank Admed for his such warming and welcoming nature that an hour session feels like we only spoke for 15 mins because you are so comfortable. I already have recommended Admed to other family and friends who are also pleased with his work. I would look no further if you truly need psychological guidance as I did myself after such a traumatic experience I had happen. Thank you Ahmed.

My first time seeing a therapist and so I was particularly nervous opening up about my trauma to a stranger, but Dr. Enaitalla was very approachable and made me feel comfortable. He was always responsive and made himself available. Speaking to him over these sessions has helped a lot, and I feel like my relationships with friends and family have improved.

I was referred to Dr. Enaitalla by a close friend, as the pandemic had taken a toll on my mental health and wellbeing. Things kept getting worse but I was assured that Ahmed was kind, personable and incredibly passionate. He was that and more, continuously going above and beyond to make sure that I was heard and helped. Because of him, I got to a place of normalcy and happiness, where I could not have imagined that just a year and a half ago. He is very reasonably priced and he brings tremendous value. Thank you so much Doctor E.
