What to Expect

Your first session is an extended consultation (50-60 minutes) where we explore what brings you in, your history, and what you hope to achieve. There's no pressure — it's a conversation to determine if we're the right fit.

There's nothing you need to do to prepare. Come as you are. Some patients find it helpful to jot down a few thoughts about what's been on their mind, but it's not required. The most important thing is to show up — the conversation will flow naturally from there.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom telehealth. This allows you to connect from the comfort and privacy of your own space, whether you're in Greenwich, Fairfield County, or elsewhere in Connecticut. Many patients find telehealth sessions equally — or even more — effective than in-person visits.

Dr. Tamerin operates as an out-of-network provider. We can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer partial out-of-network coverage for psychiatric services.

Absolutely. Everything discussed in our sessions is protected by doctor-patient confidentiality and HIPAA regulations. Dr. Tamerin has worked with executives, public figures, and professionals for decades — discretion and privacy are foundational to his practice.

That's exactly what the free consultation call is for. It's a no-pressure conversation where you can share what's going on and ask any questions. There's no obligation. Many of Dr. Tamerin's longest-standing patients started with exactly that uncertainty.
