“Great listener and friendly. We didn't discuss solutions or tactics to my worries since the initial visit was more of collecting background information. I'm hoping to get more feedback in the next video visit.”

Getting to know Dr. Tara Kellman

Hi! I enjoy working with adults of all ages from a wide range of backgrounds, who are experiencing issues related to depression, trauma, anxiety, difficulties with sex and intimacy, family conflict and other interpersonal difficulties. I also have extensive experience working with those from disadvantaged backgrounds who may need support coping with social trauma and adversity, particularly around issues of race and other marginalized identities. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University and completed my predoctoral internship at Mt. Sinai Beth Israel. I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, college counseling, and community mental health centers.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Whatever your challenges, I will work alongside you in this process of self-discovery and healing. When working with individuals, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship as a mechanism of change. When working with couples, I create an environment of safety where new experiences can be shared. Together, we will explore what is going on beneath the surface and tailor our approach to fit your unique needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is rooted in attachment and system theories through which we explore how early relationships with caregivers, community, and institutions influence how you navigate the world. Additionally, I integrate mindfulness and behavioral approaches to enhance insight building, meaning making, and provide you with new tools to manage stressors. Through our work together, we can uncover your story, access and utilize your strengths, and help you become an active player in your life.

In-network insurances

Dr. Tara Kellman has 200+ in-network plans.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance

Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

Bryant West Psychology works with most insurance plans (whether in-network or out-of-network) to make the financials easy, hassle-free, and paper-work-free for you. We can bill your insurance for you, and you can pay us any deductible and co-pays by credit card or through Zelle, as well as the old-fashioned ways, such as check or cash. In-Network: Our clinicians are providers in the following networks: Aetna and its affiliated insurances (Allied Benefit Systems - Aetna, Christian Brothers Services - Aetna, Health Scope - Aetna, Meritain, Nippon, Trustmark ) and student health insurance at NYU, Columbia, New School, Fordham, FIT, and Pratt. In-network, your insurance company sets our fees, co-pays, and deductibles, making our service more affordable. We will discuss this with you. Out-of-Network: We bill all insurance companies, such as United Health Care, Oxford, Cigna, Blue Cross/Shield, and Beacon (to name a few). Depending on your plan, your insurance may pay up to 80% of our fee (and sometimes more). We will do our best to work with you to make payment arrangements that won't break the bank—that is, your bank.
