FAQ

Questions About Depression & Mood

What is your approach to medication? +

Medication is sometimes helpful but never the entire solution. When appropriate, Dr. Tamerin prescribes carefully and conservatively, always in the context of understanding you as a whole person, not just managing symptoms. Many patients find they need less medication as therapy deepens.

What should I expect at my first appointment? +

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.

How often will I need to come in for sessions? +

Most patients begin with weekly sessions. As you progress, we may adjust to biweekly or as-needed. The frequency is always a collaborative decision based on your needs, goals, and pace of change.

Do you accept insurance? +

Dr. Tamerin operates as an out-of-network provider. We provide detailed superbills for insurance reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 60-80% of session fees.
