Staff Psychiatrist- Connecticut

Talkiatry was built for Psychiatrists, by Psychiatrists and offers the stability and support of a hospital group, with the autonomy of a private practice. Talkiatry is now interviewing BC/BE Psychiatrists interested in joining us in 2023, as we continue to expand across the state of CT and neighboring markets. Providers will have the option to work 100% remote telehealth or on-site at our Manhattan-based offices.

Talkiatry transforms psychiatry into the accessible, human, and empowering experience it should be, for patients and providers alike. We were co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality mental healthcare. 

60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low and paperwork is unduly burdensome.  With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine. 

Our Promises:

• Market-leading compensation. Competitive base salary coupled with productivity-based income. You retain a high percentage of your earnings; we pay at the top of the market.

• The efficiency of Talkiatry’s practice benefits you. Our single specialty focus, scale and technology allows for better reimbursement rates while maintaining lower practice expenses which enables us to pass the economic benefits to our psychiatrists.  
• Custom developed technology driven solutions for psychiatry including an integrated EMR which supports provider-to-patient messaging, telemedicine, direct lab integration and proprietary tools to track and gain insight into your patients’ outcomes.
• Select a patient population according to your own criteria . Our patient intake process is robust and can be adjusted in real time to allow you to balance the acuity and diagnoses of the patient population you are treating.

About Talkiatry:

Talkiatry is helmed clinically by Dr. Georgia Gaveras, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with an additional board-certification in addiction medicine.

At Talkiatry, that means our psychiatrists are in control of their practice. Our support staff focuses on removing administrative duties, enabling you to spend more of your time on patient care.  It also means providing flexibility in where and when you practice medicine.  Our psychiatrists can choose to see patients in-person at our beautifully custom-built offices or treat their patients using telepsychiatry.  Our psychiatrists also enjoy control over their hours and schedule.

We provide in-network, outpatient treatment for children and adults with depression, anxiety, attention, and other disorders. Talkiatry does not provide intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs. We believe that solving the accessibility issues in mental health care begins with taking care of our doctors. We provide solutions to the challenges that psychiatrists are facing - from a lack of front and back-office infrastructure and support in private practice settings to being overworked and underpaid by hospitals, clinics, and other institutions. Talkiatry aims to bridge the current gap in outpatient psychiatry by providing high quality, respected medical care in a modern setting with modern tools.

Through proprietary technology developed by psychiatrists for psychiatrists, we empower you to treat the conditions and population you enjoy, building a practice you find both satisfying and intellectually challenging.

Talkiatry believes that psychiatric care should be affordable for patients and accepts all major insurance.  As an integrated practice, we have a large in-house billing and patient care coordinator team that handles billing and administrative issues for our clinical staff.
