Dr. Sargam Mona Jain is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in New York City.  Clinically, she utilizes an insight-oriented approach to the management of various psychological challenges, especially those that occur during transitions.  These include the feelings of grief, anxiety, traumatization and/or depression that may accompany upheavals in life. She aims to minimize medication management when possible, while recognizing that psychopharmacology may be necessary in order to facilitate psychological change and resilience.  She pushes her patients explore their relationships to others, as well as to their personal and cultural history, in order to develop a deeper sense of authenticity and social belonging.

In the community, she advocates for the under-served as a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association Committee at the United Nations.  Through this group, she works with NGOs and Member States to promote human rights, mental health and inclusive, psychologically-minded policies and programs.  Academically, she writes and teaches through the lens of an interdisciplinary background in philosophy and linguistics on the intersection of unconscious conflict, economics, global development and post-colonial identity.

She completed a psychiatric residency at Weill Cornell Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Public Psychiatry at Columbia University and then trained in adult psychoanalysis, also at Columbia University.
