Sargam Mona Jain, MD
Dr. Jain (she/her) studied philosophy and linguistics at NYU, earned a degree in textile design from the Fashion Institute of Technology and completed a residency in general psychiatry at the Weill Cornell Medical Center. Her work has taken her around the world—from Cuba and Brazil to Tanzania and India—where she explored how different cultures approach mental health.
To understand the unconscious layers of the mind, Dr. Jain went on to psychoanalytic training at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. Believing that healing is both emotional and embodied, she received training in narrative exposure therapy (NET), a somatic treatment for trauma. For Satya Psychedelics, she incorporates her studies in textile design to explore how color, texture, and material aesthetics can support recovery from early, preverbal trauma.
Tanveer Ahmed, MD
Dr. Ahmed (she/her) earned her MD from George Washington University, where she stayed to complete her Psychiatry Residency Program. She went on to do a Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The New York Presbyterian Hospital Program of Columbia and Cornell Universities. She has studied yoga and vipassana meditation in India. She practiced on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for numerous years before transitioning her practice to the Berkshires in 2018. She also works as a psychiatrist for Gould Farm in Monterey, MA.
Dr. Ahmed grew up in the culture and practices of South Asia. This rich heritage, along with the western medical training she went through, informs all aspects of her practice. As an immigrant, and woman of color, she brings a unique empathy and approach to each patient. She also has an appreciation for the mystical, and understands the value of altered states of consciousness. Working with psychedelics is a natural progression of this, as an accessible way to walk a path that humans have taken in many different ways through history.
