Tamara Lazenby, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

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

Taylor Brady, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

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 New York, NY

New York is full of specialists, yet getting on a psychiatrist's schedule can still take months. Talkiatry gives you another route: a psychiatrist in New York, NY who sees you by secure video, often within days rather than months.

Your psychiatrist is licensed in New York, so you can be seen from anywhere in the city, whether you are in Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx.

How online psychiatry works for New York residents

Care happens by secure video, from wherever you are. You answer a few questions in a short assessment, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. No subway ride, no waiting room.

Your first visit lasts 60 minutes, so there is time to explain your symptoms, ask questions, and shape a plan together. Later visits usually run about 30 minutes. The goal is a psychiatrist who listens and adjusts your care over time.

What a psychiatrist in New York can help with

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor trained to diagnose mental health conditions and manage treatment. Talkiatry psychiatrists help people with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, plus conditions such as bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD.

When medication is part of your plan, your psychiatrist can prescribe and manage it when clinically appropriate and legally permissible. A prescription is never guaranteed, and some medications may not be available for online prescribing. Your psychiatrist will talk through the options with you.

Therapy may also fit into your care, depending on your needs and availability.

Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in New York?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and we check your coverage during the free assessment before you schedule anything. That way you know where you stand before your first visit. What you pay out of pocket depends on your plan, so confirm the details with your insurer.

Mental health care in New York

Even in a large city, finding an available psychiatrist is hard. According to KFF's analysis of federal shortage data, New York has 200 designated mental health professional shortage areas. Only about 15.2% of the state's need for mental health practitioners is currently met. Closing that gap would take an estimated 238 more psychiatrists.

Online psychiatry helps expand your options by matching you with a psychiatrist licensed anywhere in New York, not only those with an office near your neighborhood.

Start with a free assessment

Getting started is simple. Take our free online assessment, answer a few questions, and get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. Then schedule your first video visit, often within days.

Common questions about psychiatric care in New York, NY

How much does a psychiatrist cost in NYC?

Your cost depends on your insurance plan. Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and we verify your coverage during the free assessment before you schedule. Because plans differ, your out-of-pocket amount, such as a copay, is set by your insurer, so it helps to confirm the details with them.

Who is the best psychiatrist in NYC?

There is no single best psychiatrist, because the right fit depends on your needs, condition, and goals. Talkiatry matches you with a psychiatrist licensed in New York based on what you share in your assessment. If the fit does not feel right, it is worth raising your concerns directly before deciding to switch, since a strong working relationship often takes a few visits.

Can I go straight to a psychiatrist?

Usually, yes. Talkiatry does not require a referral to begin. You take the online assessment and get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in New York. Check with your insurer, though, since some plans still ask for a referral for coverage.

What is the 3 month rule in mental health?

There is no official three-month rule in psychiatry. People sometimes use the phrase to describe giving a new medication or routine enough time to show effects, which can take several weeks. Your psychiatrist sets follow-up timing based on your treatment and how you respond, not a fixed rule.
