Dr. Sarah Tatko, PA, DMSc

Dr. Sarah Tatko, PA, DMSc

Physician Assistant (Psychiatry)
IA
Talking about myself does not come naturally, so I’m going to try to put myself in your shoes. Perhaps you’re a prospective patient who wants to know if I am someone you can trust and work with. Maybe you’re a fellow provider who wants to help a patient who is not responding to traditional treatments. Or maybe someone in your life is hurting and you’re trying to figure out how to help and support them. I have been all of those at one time or another. I’ve tried to find providers that felt like the right fit. I’ve been a professional looking for answers. I’ve been a concerned family member trying to do right by someone I love and care about. Here’s what I’d want to know if I were you. I specialize in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I prescribe ketamine and provide psychotherapy to improve the lives of people suffering from treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and eating disorders. I also diagnose and treat adults and teens with depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. I graduated from Physician Assistant school in 2013 and am licensed by the North Carolina Board of Medicine. I began my career in emergency medicine and worked for many years in oncology at UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke. I’m named as the first author in exactly one publication, a poem I wrote about the despair of working in academic medicine during the pandemic. I’m finishing up my Doctorate in psychiatry, and am also wrapping up a certification program in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy (which includes MAPS certification).
