Getting to know Dr. Amanda Sacks-Zimmerman
Amanda Sacks-Zimmerman, PhD, ABPP-CN is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and Clinical Director of Neurocognitive Services at Acheron Psychiatry, a depth-oriented mental health practice in New York City offering psychiatry, psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), cognitive remediation therapy (CRT), group therapy, couples therapy, and therapeutic programs.
Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman specializes in understanding how stress, trauma, mood disorders, medical conditions, and life transitions affect cognition, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. She works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related concerns, executive dysfunction, and cognitive changes that interfere with work, relationships, or quality of life.
At Acheron, Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman leads the development of neurocognitive services, integrating psychotherapy, CRT, and Ketamine-Assisted CRT (CRT-K) when appropriate. Her work reflects Acheron’s commitment to evidence-based, collaborative care that treats the whole person—mind, brain, and lived experience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients working with Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman can expect a thoughtful, structured, and highly individualized approach within Acheron Psychiatry’s broader clinical framework.
She views cognitive and emotional symptoms not as isolated deficits, but as adaptive responses shaped by stress, health, and psychological history. Her role is to help clients understand how their brain functions under these conditions—and how to work with it more effectively.
While her primary focus is neurocognitive treatment, Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman collaborates closely with Acheron’s psychiatrists and psychotherapists, allowing care to be coordinated across medication management, psychotherapy, KAP, and group offerings when appropriate. Clients often appreciate her ability to translate complex neuropsychological concepts into practical, usable insight that supports real-world change.
At Acheron, all ketamine is prescribed, dosed, and medically monitored in-house by our psychiatrist and founder, Dr. Daniel Zimmerman (Yale, Weill Cornell, Harvard/MGH–McLean). This allows therapists like me to provide preparation, therapeutic support during dosing, and depth-oriented integration within a safe and cohesive clinical model.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Work with Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman begins with a careful assessment of cognitive, emotional, and functional concerns, which may include neuropsychological testing when indicated. This evaluation helps clarify strengths, challenges, and contributing factors, forming the foundation for a collaborative treatment plan aligned with the client’s goals.
Sessions may involve Cognitive Remediation Therapy, psychotherapy, psychoeducation, or ketamine-assisted neurocognitive work, depending on clinical needs. A strong emphasis is placed on preparation, intention, and integration—ensuring that insight translates into meaningful, sustainable improvement.
As part of Acheron Psychiatry, Dr. Sacks-Zimmerman works within an interdisciplinary model that supports continuity of care. Her process balances clinical rigor with curiosity and flexibility, helping clients build skills, confidence, and clarity over time.
