About The Clinic

Welcome! Dr. Pondicherry is a board-certified adult psychiatrist and therapist based in New York City. He completed his psychiatry residency at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and M.D. at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Dr. Pondicherry works with clients aged 18 and older who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, OCD, and major life transitions. Treatment is holistic and enhances emotional wellbeing and long-term resilience by teaching clients to be mindful of their thoughts and feelings and construct effective habit patterns around sleep, movement, nutrition, finances, and relationships. The primary modalities used in the clinic are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), but when beneficial, select medications may be prescribed to enhance the therapeutic process. (Please note that no controlled substances are prescribed.)

The clinic is currently accepting new clients in NYC and surrounding areas. All sessions are conducted online via telehealth. The rate is $250 for a 50-minute session, and insurance is not accepted. However, if you are privately insured, a superbill can be provided at the end of each month that you may be able to submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
