She is awesome! Very expensive, but it seems like every doctor in New York is. She was great though and I got everything I wanted out of the consultation.
I was anxious for my first session, however Dr. Husain immediately made me feel welcome. She was very warm and just had a nice energy about her. I felt incredibly open after the first 20 minutes. Dr. Husain was patient, and I never felt rushed during the session. I was surprised by how insightful she was, especially for someone who has a hard time opening up to strangers Overall, I left the session feeling light and much less anxious.

More about Dr. Nisba Husain, MD

I am a board certified psychiatrist with a speciality in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. I completed my adult and child psychiatry training at Columbia and Cornell Universities and New York Medical College. I was honored to hold a number of leadership positions as well as teach and supervise residents and fellows. Prior to starting a private practice, I worked with mothers and young children at New York Presybterian Hospital. My private practice is located in downtown Manhattan and I work with both children and adults. I take a collaborative approach, informed by a belief in the power and resiliency of the human mind. I view psychological understanding as an essential component of any treatment and use medication thoughtfully when indicated.

Dr. Husain was warm and welcoming upon my first visit. She was professional, yet felt compassion as I worked with her. She was thoughtful and had the right kind of balance when discussing the right treatment plan with therapy and medications. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone with the ability to understand and provide guidance for both sides.
