The Light Room Health

I am the Associate Director of Psychiatry at the NYU Counseling & Wellness Center and Clinical Assistant Professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. My practice is anchored in an individualized treatment approach for each of my patients. This includes psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, and when indicated, medication management, for the treatment of a broad range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, work stress, low self-esteem, and relationship/familial challenges. My goal is to create a collaborative space where folks can gain insight, build resilience, and make meaningful change in their lives. My approach varies depending on your needs, but incorporates elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and interpersonal, solution-focused modalities. My goal is to understand each patient’s unique experiences and goals in service of providing a rich and meaningful experience in their treatment. We will work together to further explore goals, challenges, your past history, and come up with a treatment plan that makes sense for you. Regardless of what that is, you can expect a collaborative, supportive path forward to address your most important concerns.

After more than a year of care, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nakhla. From the very first appointment, he made complex psychiatric concepts approachable and easy to understand, always taking the time to answer every question I had, no matter how big or small. His warm, engaging personality, and natural ability to connect with patients make each visit feel comfortable. What truly sets him apart is his genuine commitment to his patients’ wellbeing, and his ability to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all-approach. My treatment has been a real success, and I credit so much of that to his expertise, attentiveness, and thoughtful care. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who listens, connects with you as a person, and works with you every step of the way, look no further.

SAVerified patient

Dr. Nakhla is an intelligent, caring, and earnest provider that has renewed my trust in psychiatric care. He listens without judgement and meets the patient where they are, both emotionally and intellectually. I highly recommend him for patients seeking integrative psychiatric care in the Greater NYC area.

My work with Dr. Nakhla has, without exaggeration, changed my life. He has helped me optimize my mental health which has made life more fulfilling and joyful. He is patient and kind, making it easy to ask questions and share concerns. Working with him has been one of the greatest investments in myself and my wellbeing, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to work with a psychiatrist.

SWVerified patient

I paid out-of-pocket for his service and he was fairly priced compared to some of the other psychiatrist. Very professional. Very understanding. But at the same time made some interesting points worth considering.?

Dr. Nakhla is an great psychiatrist, taking the time to understand the conditions of his patients, not just from a medical prospective but he accounts for the patient's daily life, needs, schedule, goals, etc in the prescription of treatment. He is thorough, checking in with patients to make sure the prescribed treatment is the right one, always willing to make adjustments to provide the optimal plan, to ensure his patients success.

ASVerified patient

Dr. Nakhla was so patient and compassionate. I was important to me to be seen by a medical professional who paid attention to me instead of viewing me as an amalgamation of my symptoms. Dr, Nakhla did exactly that and I would recommend him to anyone who has issues to resolve, he'll help.

BAVerified patient

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Nakhla! Over the past 2–3 years, he has not only been a key support in navigating my personal and professional relationships but also helped me identify a medication regimen that finally eased my troublesome anxiety symptoms. He is extremely understanding, flexible, and nonjudgmental, and he takes my concerns seriously while also being able to inject humor into our discussions. Highly recommend for patients of all ages and experiences!

TPVerified patient

Dr. Nakhla is kind, brilliant, empathetic, and evidence-based. He approaches care with realism and ensures you understand the decision-making process every step of the way. When I say he changed my life for the better, I mean that with every fiber of my being. I’m so grateful for his care and support!
