Harvard-trained · Board-certified · Adults 18+ · Private pay
Traditional Psychiatry Was Never Designed Around You.
Most psychiatric practices have become rushed.
Appointments are brief.
Communication between visits is limited.
Patients often wait weeks—or months—for care.
Insurance requirements frequently dictate how medicine is practiced.
But your mental health deserves more than a system designed around administrative rules.
It deserves a physician who knows you.
You deserve something different.
Thoughtful Care from an Experienced Psychiatrist
Dr. Tatyana Ellison is a board-certified psychiatrist who completed her psychiatry residency through the Harvard Longwood Psychiatry Residency Program.
She combines careful psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and years of experience across outpatient, inpatient, emergency, consultation-liaison, and telepsychiatry settings to create thoughtful, individualized care.
She has also proudly served as a physician in the United States Army Reserve.
Rather than treating symptoms alone, Dr. Ellison focuses on understanding the complete person and building a long-term therapeutic relationship that evolves with each stage of life.
Not just another provider.
One physician. One relationship. One trusted guide.

-
No. Dr. Ellison’s practice is private pay and does not participate with insurance plans. The practice does not bill insurance, submit claims, provide superbills, or assist with reimbursement. Members accept full financial responsibility for the annual membership fee and agree not to seek insurance reimbursement for services received through the practice.
-
The Signature Membership is designed to provide something traditional psychiatric practices often cannot: continuity with one physician, longer and more thoughtful visits, priority scheduling, secure communication, and care that is not structured around insurance limitations.
The value is not simply the number of appointments. It is the peace of mind that comes from having an experienced psychiatrist who knows your history, understands your goals, and remains involved in your care throughout the year.
-
The annual membership includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and follow-up appointments as clinically indicated during the membership year.
The frequency of visits is determined by Dr. Ellison based on your clinical needs. Routine follow-up appointments are generally scheduled no more frequently than monthly unless additional visits are medically appropriate.
-
Yes. Members may use secure messaging for brief questions and appropriate communication between appointments.
Messages are generally answered during business hours, typically within two business days. Complex clinical concerns, medication adjustments, psychotherapy, or issues requiring a detailed discussion may require an appointment. Messaging is not continuously monitored and must not be used for emergencies.
-
Medication changes are made carefully and only when clinically appropriate. Some straightforward questions may be addressed through secure messaging, but most medication changes require an appointment so Dr. Ellison can properly evaluate symptoms, side effects, risks, and treatment options.
A membership, consultation, or evaluation does not guarantee that any particular medication—including a controlled medication—will be prescribed.
-
The Signature Membership is intentionally limited so Dr. Ellison can provide priority scheduling and responsive care to each member.
After you submit a membership request, the practice will review your information and contact you regarding fit, availability, and the earliest appropriate appointment. Exact scheduling depends on current availability and clinical circumstances, so the website should not promise a specific number of days unless Dr. Ellison establishes a firm scheduling standard.
-
No. The practice does not provide superbills, insurance claim forms, reimbursement documentation, or assistance submitting services to an insurance company.
The Signature Membership is a private-pay arrangement, and members agree to pay the annual fee directly without seeking insurance reimbursement.
-
The practice serves adults age 18 and older who are physically located in California at the time of each telehealth appointment.
Every prospective member completes a consultation request that is reviewed before acceptance. The practice is intended for adults seeking ongoing outpatient psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy when appropriate.
The practice does not provide emergency or crisis care, case management, forensic evaluations, court-related services, workers’ compensation evaluations, or disability determinations. Anyone experiencing an emergency should call 911, go to the nearest emergency department, or call or text 988.
