We provide structured, insurance-based, psychiatric services designed for patients with Treatment-resistant depression and complex mood disorders.
At Ascend Psychiatry, treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that examines diagnostic clarity, prior treatment response, medical factors, and functional impact. Every care plan is individualized and built on objective assessment — not assumptions.
We practice measurement-based care, using validated clinical scales and symptom tracking to guide decisions over time. Progress is monitored systematically, allowing us to adjust treatment with precision and ensure interventions are producing measurable improvement.
Dr. Mohammed Mazharuddin is a board-certified psychiatrist and Founder of Ascend Psychiatry PC. He completed his training at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he was named Teacher of the Year in 2025.
Dr. Mazharuddin specializes in treatment-resistant depression, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and interventional psychiatry, including TMS and esketamine. His approach combines precision medication management, measurement-based care, and holistic treatment strategies to deliver structured, outcomes-focused psychiatric care.
For patients who require more than traditional medication alone, we provide interventional options including TMS and Spravato®. These therapies are integrated within a structured clinical plan and delivered with careful oversight and outcome monitoring.
Ascend Psychiatry values collaborative relationships with referring clinicians and prioritizes clear, timely communication to support continuity of care. We provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and structured treatment planning, with a commitment to coordinated, evidence-based management for shared patients.
Mental health is influenced by many parts of life, not just medication. Along with medical treatment, we also help patients improve everyday habits that affect how the brain works — such as sleep, exercise, nutrition, and social connection.
We use a Five Pillars approach that focuses on overall health, physical energy, supportive relationships, a sense of purpose, and personalized psychiatric care. By working on these areas together, we aim to help patients feel better, function better, and build lasting mental wellness.
“TMS made a noticeable difference when medications alone weren’t enough. The process was smooth, and the office made me feel comfortable every step of the way.”
“Spravato treatment was intimidating at first, but the team’s professionalism and care made it straightforward. I finally feel like I have a path forward.”
“Medication management with Dr. Mazharuddin was thoughtful and precise. Adjustments were made carefully, and I always felt listened to and supported throughout the process.”
We are an insurance-based psychiatric practice and participate with most major insurance plans. Because coverage for interventional treatments such as TMS and Spravato® can vary, we recommend confirming benefits directly with your carrier prior to treatment.
Our team is available to help guide you through the verification process to ensure clarity before care begins.
At Ascend Psychiatry, we provide modern, clinically grounded mental health care that addresses both immediate symptoms and the broader factors influencing well-being.
