“I’ve been working with Doctor Ashrafi for over a year now, and I can’t put into words how much they’ve helped me. As someone with a history of PTSD, I’ve always been hesitant about therapy and medication; trust doesn’t come easily for me. From the very first session, she made me feel heard and safe. She takes the time to really listen, not just to what I say but also to what I struggle to put into words. I’ve never felt rushed or dismissed. One thing that stands out is her compassion and patience. There were moments when I felt stuck, like I wasn’t making progress, but they gently reminded me that recovery isn’t linear and that it’s okay to move at my own pace. I’m in a much better place now, emotionally and mentally, than I ever thought possible. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will walk alongside you through the ups and downs, I can’t recommend Dr. Ashrafi enough. ”

Getting to know Dr. Mandana Ashrafi

I am a practicing adult psychiatrist in New York City. I graduated medical school in Iran with honors. I have a background in psychiatry research and have co-authored over thirty published papers in the field. I completed my psychiatry residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I have received additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma and Dissociation-focused psychotherapy, Couple and Family Therapy, and completed an Intensive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Fellowship at The William Alanson White Institute. My focus revolves around mood and anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders as well as trauma. I am also passionate about working with couples and families to enhance their interpersonal relationships and address multi-generational issues. Drawing from my experience, I have successfully collaborated with immigrant individuals, couples and families, navigating the intricacies of sexual, racial, and cultural identities. I am fluent in both English and Farsi, facilitating effective communication with a diverse range of individuals.
