Judit Lendvay, MD

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and training and supervising analyst with a private practice dedicated to integrating therapy and psychopharmacology. My Hartsdale office serves patients from Westchester, Connecticut, Nyack, Northern New Jersey, and NYC. With extensive training at Cornell and Columbia, where I now serve as an Assistant Clinical Professor, I bring decades of experience teaching medical students, psychiatry residents, and psychologists. My practice focuses on addressing complex mental health challenges, including self-defeating tendencies, dissatisfaction with prior treatments, and chronic depression or anxiety. I specialize in differentiating bipolar and borderline personality disorders, utilizing Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) for effective treatment.

My approach emphasizes understanding the whole person, combining cognitive neuroscience insights with psychodynamic principles to tailor care to individual needs. I prioritize open communication with other treatment professionals and refer patients to trusted specialists when appropriate. My philosophy centers on helping patients lead fulfilling lives, whether through medication, therapy, or a combination of both. With a background rooted in Hungarys rich medical and psychoanalytic traditions, I strive to blend historical wisdom with modern advancements in psychiatry. My practice is designed to provide personalized, in-depth care, ensuring each patient receives the time and attention necessary for meaningful progress.
