Board-certified child, adolescent, adult psychiatrist and therapist in New York City

I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care with a focus on collaboration and compassion. My approach integrates therapy and medication management when appropriate, always tailored to your individual needs. I work to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.

About Me

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and therapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. I completed my undergraduate education, medical training, and residency within the University of Texas system, followed by a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. I have worked at both the Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai and the Manhattan Veterans Affairs Hospital, providing care for individuals with PTSD, depression, substance use disorders, and other complex psychiatric conditions, while also serving as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the NYU School of Medicine.
In addition to my clinical work, I have written health stories for ABC News to help improve public understanding of mental health care and have delivered educational talks to the Vietnamese community of New York City.

Services 

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, and a broad range of mental health concerns across the lifespan. My approach integrates psychodynamic psychotherapy with the judicious use of medication when clinically appropriate.

I offer the following services:

Psychotherapy sessions
Medication management sessions
Combined psychotherapy and medication sessions

Please contact me directly for information about fees. I am an out-of-network provider and do not participate in insurance plans; however, I am happy to provide a statement (superbill) for patients who wish to submit claims to their insurance for potential reimbursement.

I offer both in-person sessions in New York City and virtual appointments for patients located anywhere in New York State.

What Clients Are Saying

“I immediately understood why so many people praised about Dr. Lynn Nguyen after their visit. Relieved somewhat after the first session already, and happy to be working with her for my daughter.”
— C.S.
“Dr. Nguyen has been working with our teen daughter for the past year. It has been a great experience for our family. My daughter likes seeing her and has made excellent progress with her. She is caring and considerate and clearly cares a lot about her patients. She checks in with my daughter and is always available if needed. I have seen other psychiatrists in New York and never have had one as caring and knowledgeable as Dr. Nguyen. I highly recommend her.”

— C.A.
