Devika Jutagir, PhD
Psychologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the psychological, behavioral, emotional, and social needs of people with cancer. In 2021, I founded the psychological services clinic at the Ralph Lauren Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) to provide support to adults receiving cancer treatment. A key reason for establishing this clinic was to enable people to access psychological services closer to home and in the same location where their other medical appointments are held.

A cancer diagnosis can be one of multiple medical conditions that people are faced with managing in the midst of other ongoing stressors. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation training, supportive therapy, and other approaches that have been shown to enhance coping. I collaborate with medical team members both inside and outside of MSK to address the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to how each person feels after a cancer diagnosis.
I lead research projects within the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service with the core goal of improving access to treatment after a cancer diagnosis. I am currently partnering with cancer care providers at other New York City hospitals to put interventions in place to help adults with cancer navigate immunotherapy and mental healthcare. In addition to conducting research, I am committed to mentoring and training junior faculty members, fellows, staff members, and undergraduate students.
Outside of MSK, I am a member of the American Psychological Association (Division 38, Society for Health Psychology), the Society of Behavioral Medicine, and the American Psychosocial Oncology Society, and also serve on their committees.
A psychologist has special training in therapy to help people with mental and behavioral health issues.
