Therapy & meds with the same physician

I'm your partner, not just a provider.

Therapy and medication management with a single psychiatrist is the ‘gold standard’ of mental healthcare. That’s why I provide therapy and prescribing in one office.

As a private, out-of-network psychiatrist, my concierge model is a deliberate return to the kind of psychiatry supported by research. This model allows me time to understand you as a whole-person.

Your First Visit and Beyond

What to expect during your first visit with me

A concierge evaluation is different than what you’ve experienced at a psychiatry office, before. We have 60 minutes to discuss your history, and who you are as a person. It’s the first step towards developing a genuine relationship.

I spend the first session on the big picture:

1) Who are you? I want to know the whole person sitting in front of me, not just a symptom list. You’ll tell me about your work, your relationships, your family, and your identity.

2) What’s happening in your life right now that’s causing you to seek help? And why now? What’s changed since last year, or last month?

3) What have you already tried, and where did previous treatments stall out? That history is data, not failure. Bring records and medication lists if you have them.

At my clinic, we build a plan together. There’s no script to be followed.

My first priority is to get you started with expert psychotherapy. When medication seems like a good option, I provide psycho-education and we decide on a course together. And if you arrive already carrying several prescriptions, we go slowly — understand the drivers first, then peel back rather than pile on.

The ultimate goal is “fewer medications, thoughtfully chosen.”

How I Practice

Concierge care offers personalized support

Time is the most important part of our relationship.

As an out-of-network provider, I am not contracted with any insurance company.

Insurance plans prevent psychiatrists from providing therapy.

My concierge practice revolves around the research-proven combination of therapy & psychopharmacology.

My concierge practice is restricted to 200 total patients.

We have time to get to know each other, through the ups and downs. You have direct access to myself and my office when you need it.

When you need a refill before international travel, we can help with that.

Maybe you need a last minute appointment before a big board meeting.

I have the flexibility necessary to support patients with demanding careers and responsibilities.

About the Doctor

About Dr. Kavin Fatehchand

A physician-scientist who spent years asking what drives a disease — now asking the same about you.

I'm Dr. Kavin Fatehchand, MD, PhD — a psychiatrist in New York. Before psychiatry, my doctoral research was in cancer immunology, where I spent years asking what actually drives a disease. I ask the same question about symptoms: what's driving this — biology, trauma, the systems you live in? That question shapes how I prescribe, which is less-is-more — understand the drivers, then peel back rather than keep adding.

I'm a queer, South Asian physician, and I say so plainly because I want you to know who's sitting across from you. Representation is the first step — never an assumption about your story. I formulate out loud, telling you what I'm thinking so we can make sense of it together.

Questions Before We Begin

Tell Me What's Going On — In Your Own Words

You don't need a polished summary or the right clinical words — just tell me what's been happening, and what's changed.

We'll make sense of it together, at a pace that fits your life. If you're curious, that's enough to start.

This is not an emergency practice. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
