Get To Know Dr.Basu

I am a humanistic, compassionate board certified psychiatrist experienced in treating adults of all ages for anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). I believe the human connection is an essential part of the therapeutic plan. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental environment where individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs can relax and discuss their difficulties. Born in Delhi, India, I received my medical degree and training from the Institute of Medicine in Kathmandu, Nepal. I was a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation scholar (SAARC) and completed a psychiatric residency program at North Shore Long Island Jewish Hospital. An externship in psychiatry confirmed my interest in the field.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative process that begins with our first meeting. During this time, I will listen as you share the unique aspects of your personality, life history, thoughts, awareness, and emotions that brought you here. I use a combination of evidence-based medicine and a deep understanding of who you are to determine a diagnosis and create the best treatment plan for you. 

Not everyone requires psychopharmacology. Our rapport plays a key role in the healing process. It’s important for me to empathize with you and gain a clear understanding of what you identify as your challenges. My respectful approach invites open dialogue about my recommendations, which are based on your symptoms and lifestyle. 

Our appointments center on humanity, compassion, and science. I will clearly summarize your diagnosis, treatment plan, and objectives, and explain any potential side effects or drug interactions. I also recognize the value of cultural diversity and differences in gender, race, age, sex, ethnicity, education, country of origin, and language. 

My goal is to build a meaningful connection with you and be a valued member of your healing team. To support your journey toward optimum wellness, I will actively listen, ask thoughtful questions, and continuously assess your symptoms in a confidential and nurturing environment.

Dr. Basu is very knowledgeable and clearly has a thoughtful and methodical approach in her care plan. She has a very calming and reassuring presence which was critical for my personal situation. Her tele-visits are convenient and have a sense of intimacy that I did not think I would have felt given the nature of the type of visit. I highly recommend Dr. Basu, she has been wonderful.

I have a close family member that needed psychiatric care. Never having to deal with this in the past; this was uncharted territory for our family. I reached out to Dr. Basu not knowing exactly what our family member needed for help. Dr. Basu was extremely kind, knowledgeable and understanding when handling our family member’s medical situation. Tushar, Dr. Basu’s Medical Assistant, was very helpful with the new patient on-boarding process. Tushar was always available for questions and made it very easy to schedule our first appointment with Dr. Basu. Our family has been through a lot but I feel incredibly supported by Dr. Basu and her team. I am very grateful to Dr. Basu. I am also confident that Dr. Basu will provide the highest level of care to ensure that my family member achieves the best possible outcome.

Dr. Basu's office immediately contacted me when I reached out to them. I was asked to complete an intake form, once that was completed, an online appt was set up for me. Since, I have been seeing Dr. Basu and have no intention of ever ceasing to see her. Her knowledged is outstanding and current. I highly recommend her to any patient in search of a psychiatrist.
