innovative approach
Zen Integrative Care is a new generation of neighborhood practice based in the greater New York City area.
Founded and led by Seda Port, nurse practitioner double board-certified in psychiatry and medicine, we emphasize holistic wellbeing and broad accessibility to mental healthcare.
Our team brings together traditional psychiatry, psychotherapy, integrative mental health, and innovative treatments — including IV ketamine infusion therapy and Spravato® (esketamine) — within one supportive environment.
We care for adolescents, adults, and older adults, accept a wide range of in- and out-of-network insurance plans, and arrange customized payment options so exceptional care stays accessible.

founder & clinical director
Double Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health & Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
Seda A. Port is the Founder and Clinical Director of Zen Integrative Care — a practice built on the belief that exceptional psychiatric care should be compassionate, individualized, evidence-based, and focused on the whole person, not simply a diagnosis.
Her background spans psychiatry, critical care, preventive medicine, and surgical care, giving her a deep understanding of how physical health, lifestyle, and environment shape mental well-being. She has extensive experience treating depression — including treatment-resistant depression — anxiety and panic disorders, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, and bipolar and other mood disorders in adolescents, adults, and older adults.
A significant focus of her work is interventional psychiatry. She provides and oversees IV ketamine infusion therapy and Spravato® (esketamine) for appropriately selected patients — always within a broader, carefully monitored treatment plan aimed at lasting emotional wellness.
“My goal is to create a space where patients feel genuinely heard and cared for while having access to both established and innovative psychiatric treatments. Every person has a different story, and their treatment should reflect that.”

Double Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner — Psychiatric-Mental Health & Family Health
Cristina is dedicated to compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized mental health care. Her dual training in psychiatric and family medicine lets her approach every patient from a whole-person perspective — recognizing the connection between physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, and quality of life.
Her approach is integrative and collaborative: careful, evidence-based medication management paired with brief supportive psychotherapy — a safe, nonjudgmental space to process emotions, strengthen coping skills, and build emotional resilience. Her clinical interests include ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, OCD, and stress-related concerns.
For patients with persistent symptoms despite traditional treatments, she offers access to innovative options — including Spravato® (esketamine) and IV ketamine therapy — when clinically appropriate. Her goal is care where you feel comfortable, heard, respected, and actively involved, so you can live a more balanced, authentic, and meaningful life.
Whenever I contact my therapist at Zen Integrative, I feel calm, relaxed, and peaceful (which makes for a great therapy). She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, and most importantly, she wants to help!! I am beyond grateful for all the assistance and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Zen Integrative to others.

what they say
One of the best places to heal your body and soul! My therapist is amazing, attentive to all my needs, and makes sure I am heard before recommending any treatment strategies. Having postpartum depression can be challenging, but Zen Integrative makes it considerably easier. 10/10!
Therapists I worked with at Zen took the time to explain my medical situation, asked questions to understand my needs, and confirmed I understood my options. They both provided comprehensive advice in a warm and professional manner. I would absolutely recommend them to others.
In the past few years, Zen Integrative Care has proved to be a lifesaver for our family. We have had great results and the staff has been extremely helpful and cooperative with our insurance. I highly recommend ZIC.
