Dr Jane Algus

Psychiatrist

“I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in Midtown West in Manhattan, offering individualized and compassionate care.”

About Me

I offer individualised, compassionate care as a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. My work helps you uncover deep-seated patterns and explore complex feelings that shape your life. Sessions provide a safe space to understand yourself profoundly, fostering lasting emotional well-being. I guide clients seeking comprehensive insight, combining medical expertise with in-depth psychoanalytic exploration. This approach supports a journey towards significant personal growth.

Approach

Personalized, empathetic work means sessions unfold at a reflective, steady pace, attending to immediate distress while tracing underlying emotional patterns. In my Midtown West Manhattan office, conducted in English, I offer a confidential setting where careful assessment guides practical treatment planning. Assessment frames our work—clarifying mood, anxiety, and relationship themes—and I blend psychotherapeutic exploration with pragmatic psychiatric care to shape goals, medication decisions, and coping strategies. This way of working suits adults and couples seeking insight alongside clear clinical guidance.
