Warm, curious, and direct.

Collaborative and empathic, with the kind of honest, challenging questions that move the work forward.

Confidential by design.

A discreet, private setting where your story stays your own.

Pace that fits you.

Short-term clarity work or longer-term growth. Your goals lead.

About

Therapy that meets you where you are.

I'm Dr. Tameer, a licensed clinical psychologist offering fully virtual psychotherapy through secure telehealth. My clients are often high-functioning adults who look composed on the outside while quietly carrying more than they let on: the weight of demanding work, relationships in transition, or a sense that something has shifted and they're not quite sure why.

Our work together is collaborative, paced, and grounded in the research. We slow things down enough to see clearly, then build forward in a way that actually fits your life.

The work isn't to become someone new. It's to come home to who you've been underneath it all, and to decide, with clarity, what to do from here.

Tameer Siddiqui, PsyD

My approach

A measured, integrative practice.

I draw from cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic foundations, woven through a transpersonal and Jungian depth-oriented lens, choosing what fits the person in front of me, not the other way around. Sessions are conversational, attentive to symbol and pattern, and always centered on what you came in to move.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    A complimentary 20-minute call to understand what's bringing you in and decide if we're the right fit.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Two to three sessions to map the full picture: history, patterns, strengths, and the goals worth setting.

  3. 03

    Focused work · 55 mins

    Weekly standard 55-minute sessions. Practical between-session reflection. A clear sense of what we're building toward.

  4. 04

    Integration

    We taper as the change holds. You leave with skills and self-knowledge that outlast the work.

Therapy pathways

Three ways therapy often begins.

Stress Management

For chronic overwhelm, burnout, sleeplessness, and the steady low-grade anxiety of doing too much for too long. We work on the patterns underneath, not just the symptoms.

  • Burnout recovery
  • Anxiety regulation
  • Work-life recalibration

Personal Growth

For the person who has done the practical work and is ready for the deeper one: self-understanding, values clarification, and the quiet inner work that lets the rest of your life click into focus.

  • Identity & self-concept
  • Values & meaning work
  • Patterns in relationships

Life Transitions

For the in-between seasons: career pivots, relationship change, relocations, parenthood, loss. The places where the old map no longer works and a new one hasn't quite arrived.

  • Career change
  • Relationship transitions
  • Grief & loss

Areas of clinical focus

Specialized support for what you're actually carrying.

Beyond the three core focus areas, the practice supports adults carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, and the lasting imprint of adverse experiences.

Anxiety

Calm a racing mind and an overactivated nervous system, and find steadier ground.

Post-traumatic stress

Process and integrate traumatic experiences with EMDR and somatic resourcing.

Attachment wounds

Understand relational patterns shaped by early experience, and gently rework them.

Nervous-system regulation

Build capacity to settle, regulate, and feel safe in your body again.

A note on fit

Begin with a free 20-minute phone consultation.

Choose a time that works for you. I'll call you at the number you provide, we'll talk about what's bringing you in, and either of us can decide it isn't the right fit. If it isn't, I'll point you toward someone better suited.

FAQ

Common questions, answered honestly.

Are sessions virtual or in-person?

This is a fully virtual practice. Sessions are conducted by default over a secure, HIPAA-aligned video platform (Google Meet). Audio-only video sessions and full telephone sessions (placed from a secure clinical line at your appointment time) are both available on request. There is no in-person option, and none of these formats is treated as lesser.

How long does therapy typically last?

It varies. Some focused work resolves in 8–12 sessions; deeper growth-oriented work often runs longer. We'll revisit goals regularly so you always know where we are and where we're headed.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. This practice is in-network with Aetna PPO and Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO through Headway. United Healthcare is limited to existing grandfathered clients only and is terminating in 2027; new United clients are not being accepted at this time. If you have another insurance plan with out-of-network mental health benefits, eligible claims may be submitted through Thrizer when available. Private pay is also available.

What are your fees?

Insurance-covered care uses standard 55-minute psychotherapy sessions billed according to your plan. Private-pay care is billed at a $200/hour rate, typically in 60-minute sessions. Clients may request up to 90 minutes ahead of time, depending on clinical fit, clinician availability, and scheduling. Documentation or specialized services may have separate fees listed on the Policies page.

What if I'm in crisis?

This practice is not a crisis service and website forms are not monitored in real time. If you are in immediate distress, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency department. The NAMI HelpLine is also available at 1-800-950-6264 for non-emergency support and information.
