Tamara Lazenby, MD
I believe healing happens when mind, body, and spirit are aligned. I create a compassionate and collaborative environment where patients feel deeply heard and empowered in their own care. My approach blends conventional psychiatric treatment with nutrition, mindfulness, movement, and stress-reduction strategies to support long-term mental wellness. I value authenticity, open communication, and shared decision-making, empowering patients to build resilience and restore balance in their lives. I begin with a comprehensive assessment exploring medical, psychological, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. Treatment plans are personalized and may include psychotherapy, targeted laboratory testing, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and medication when appropriate. I work closely with patients to restore balance, resilience, and overall well-being through a truly integrative approach, with regular collaboration and feedback helping patients heal, grow, and thrive.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical and academic experience in emergency mental health, disaster response, and trauma-focused care. I earned my undergraduate degree at George Mason University and completed my medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School. After the September 11th attacks, I trained in psychiatry at New York Medical College's Saint Vincent's Hospital, specializing in emergency and trauma psychiatry. I previously served as Associate Director of Wellness & Emergency Response Services at New York University's Student Health Center, leading a team that cared for more than 50,000 global NYU students. I also previously served as Staff Psychiatrist and Team Lead for the Combat PTSD Clinical Team at the Hampton VA Medical Center, providing care for veterans with service-related trauma and implementing National VA Standards of Care.

Taylor Brady, MD
My approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and respect for your unique story. I view mental health treatment as a partnership, one where psychotherapy and medication can work together to support your growth and healing. My goal is to help you uncover the patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back, and empower you to make meaningful, sustainable change. I encourage patients to take ownership of their mental health, and I am here to provide the tools, guidance, and support you need along the way.
We'll begin by taking the time to understand your story, your goals, and what brings you to treatment. The first few sessions focus on building trust and identifying the areas where you'd like to see change. From there, we'll collaboratively develop a treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication, or both, always tailored to your needs. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, to provide care that fits you, not the other way around. Throughout our work, I'll support you in developing insight, resilience, and confidence in managing your mental health.
My background includes medical training at the University of Utah, where I served as Student Body President, and psychiatric residency at the University of Texas, where I served as Inpatient Chief Resident and received awards for both clinical excellence and medical education. I hold an MD and an MBA.
Outside of clinical care, I am deeply interested in narrative medicine, the way our personal stories shape our mental health, and I found my passion for mental health care through the power of listening to people's stories. I bring that same commitment and curiosity to my work with patients.

Find a psychiatrist in Brooklyn, NY
Booking a psychiatrist in Brooklyn can mean long waits and a scramble to find someone taking new patients. Talkiatry connects you with a licensed psychiatrist who treats New York residents online, so you can be seen from anywhere in Brooklyn, whether you are in Bay Ridge, Bed-Stuy, or Flatbush. Visits happen by secure video from home, which means no commute across the borough and no waiting on a list to be seen.
Online psychiatry for Brooklyn residents
You start by answering a few questions online, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York who fits your needs. Your first visit lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan. Follow-up visits usually run about 30 minutes. Because care is online, there is no Brooklyn office to travel to, so "a psychiatrist near me" becomes a psychiatrist you can see from your own home, on your own schedule.
What a psychiatrist can help with
Talkiatry psychiatrists are medical doctors who evaluate your symptoms, listen to your history, and build a plan around what you actually need. They treat conditions including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Medication may be one part of that plan, but it is never automatic; your psychiatrist decides what fits your situation. Depending on your needs, therapy may also be part of your care.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Brooklyn?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, so many patients use their existing coverage. During your free assessment, your coverage is verified before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your plan, so check with your insurer for an estimate specific to your benefits.
Mental health care in New York
Across New York, 200 areas are designated as mental health professional shortage areas, covering about 3.77 million people, and only about 15.2 percent of the need for psychiatric care is currently met (KFF). For someone in Brooklyn, that shortage often shows up as long waits and few local openings. Online psychiatry helps expand access by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist across the state, rather than limiting your options to providers with an opening in your immediate area.
