Getting to know Dr. Sarah Debrey
Dr. Debrey is board-certified in adult psychiatry. Her approach is client-centered, individualized, and collaborative. She focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance with each client to work towards achieving enhanced functioning and meaning in their lives. She works with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression and other mood concerns, bipolar spectrum illnesses, OCD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. Though she specializes in medication management, she believes in an integrative and comprehensive treatment program that incorporates multiple aspects of an individual’s health and wellness.
Along with discussion of physical health concerns, diet, exercise, personal connection, and stress management, she incorporates aspects of various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness, into her work. In some instances, Dr. Debrey may recommend more intensive psychotherapy with a collaborating therapist in order to help facilitate the best care possible.
Dr. Debrey received her medical degree from Rush Medical College. She also holds a graduate degree in epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Following medical school, she completed her residency in psychiatry at Emory University School of Medicine. During her final year of residency, she served as chief resident at Grady Memorial Hospital. Prior to joining Talkiatry, Dr. Debrey was as an assistant professor at Emory University Department of Psychiatry, where she worked as an attending psychiatrist at Grady Behavioral Health. While at Grady, Dr. Debrey worked primarily as a community psychiatrist with a focus on working with individuals experiencing psychosis. She also frequently worked on the inpatient psychiatry service at Grady. As an Emory faculty member, teaching and mentorship were an especially meaningful part of her work.

More information on payments and coverage
Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

August 14, 2024Katie K.Verified patientVideo visit
She was absolutely amazing! I did have to wait several weeks for my appointment since she was booked out but I didn’t mind. She spent an entire hour speaking with me. She was very thorough and listened to all of my concerns. She made adjustments to my medications and added on a therapist. I really enjoyed speaking with her and can’t wait for my follow up appointment in a few weeks.

Dr. Debrey is definitely a keeper! She struck a great balance between asking questions and responding to what I was saying. She even followed up on my responses in a way that clearly demonstrated that she was listening to what I was actually saying. I was also impressed by her breadth of knowledge since she knew details about some of my medications/conditions in my medical history that came up during conversation. I left the appointment feeling very positive because she outlined a clear plan with multiple options and was transparent about side effects and trade offs of certain medication. I am looking forward to working with her!

Dr. Debrey was EXCELLENT. I have lots of experience in the mental health world personally and professionally and she was exceptional. She was kind, she listened, she was well educated on my specific complex issues. It is hard for me to feel good about providers, but Dr. Debrey gives me so much confidence in her. I have already recommended her to a couple of friends searching for a good provider.
November 21, 2022Meghan P.Verified patientVideo visit
I've seen many different psychiatrists over the years and my experience with Dr. Sarah really stood out. She was caring and attentive and really seemed to understand and validate the things I mentioned to her. Unlike other psychiatrists I've seen, she seemed to really specialize her treatment plan to me based on my needs, and not just a generic plan. She even reached out to me after our appointment, revising the plan after giving it more thought.
November 19, 2022Juliana R.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Debrey was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She took plenty of time to get to know me and ask questions. Our visit was virtual, which was super convenient!
More than 1 year agoAlexandra H.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Debry immediately put my mind at ease within the first 2 minutes of my appointment. She listened and applied what I was saying to her diagnosis. I've had terrible experiences with psychiatry in the past and she was so much more relateable and patient than anybody I've seen before. She truly thought about her recommendation before sharing her suggestions with me and was up front and honest about side effects I could see with the medications. She listened to my input and concerns. I cannot wait for our next appointment because she has completely changed my outlook on psychiatry.
November 16, 2022Briana M.Verified patientVideo visit
She was super friendly and she actually listens to you instead of just understanding it the way she wants to the way my old psychiatrists did. She actually makes sure she has the right diagnosis for you instead of just going off of old ones. Very thorough but not to the point of being too much. She also still sent in my prescription from my old psychiatrist so I wouldn’t be entirely off meds until we came to a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. I cannot express how much of a breath of fresh air she was compared to every other psychiatrist I’ve had who just wanted to throw a medication on you without understanding the root problem.
November 3, 2022Jenna B.Verified patientVideo visit
