About

New York City psychiatrist Amanda Itzkoff, MD, has earned the prestigious Most Compassionate Doctor Award and has been awarded the coveted Patients’ Choice Award for another consecutive year. When diagnosing or treating her patients, Dr. Itzkoff provides a caring, warm, nonjudgmental environment. Dr. Itzkoff’s private practice is distinguished as a setting in which she can work with each patient to understand their unique concerns, their individual goals, and their personal beliefs, and through a collaborative process, ensure that these are reflected in each patient's treatment design and throughout the ongoing, collaborative care.

Dr. Amanda Itzkoff treats patients with psychiatric concerns such as depression, anxiety, memory disorders, bipolar disorder, adult attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating disorders, and substance dependency and abuse. Dr. Itzkoff offers the full spectrum of psychiatric treatment options available, including psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy,” as well as psychopharmacology, which involves administration of medications designed to modify behavior or moods. While some patients are treated with both talk therapy and medication, others are treated with a focus on one or the other treatment modality alone. Board certified in psychiatry, Dr. Amanda Itzkoff is thoroughly trained in the most modern applications of both treatment approaches.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics from Cornell University, from which she graduated as valedictorian in 1999, Dr. Amanda Itzkoff attended the New York University School of Medicine. Upon earning her MD in 2003, she completed psychiatry residency training as well as fellowship training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Dr. Itzkoff joined the staff at Mount Sinai Hospital as an attending psychiatrist and was appointed assistant professor in 2008.
