Dr. Caitlin Tillberg (she/her) is a board-certified psychiatrist. She practices patient-centered and trauma-informed care, valuing patient autonomy and collaborative decision-making, acknowledging the burden many people carry from intersecting oppressions.

Dr. Tillberg has a niche working with people with complicated relationships with their bodies, whether due to disordered eating (including ARFID), gender dysphoria, chronic illness/disability, or trauma. She welcomes LGBTQ+ patients, including trans and non-binary adults. She also enjoys working with patients with OCD, as well autistic/neurodivergent adults (including those seeking adult autism evaluation).

In medical school she attended the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference, and during psychiatry residency she completed a rotation in Duke’s Gender Care Clinic. She has completed continuing medical education credits related to LGBTQ+ health topics since finishing her psychiatry residency training.

Dr. Tillberg works with adult patients only (age 18+) and practices only via telehealth, seeing patients located in the states of North Carolina, Virginia, or New York. By Talkiatry practice policies, Dr. Tillberg can provide evaluations for gender-affirming medical care in the context of an ongoing 6+ month clinical relationship (not standalone evaluations/letters) and if other specified criteria are met, currently only for patients residing in the state of New York.

As Dr. Tillberg is a physician, her practice is focused largely on medication management, but talk therapists are also available through Talkiatry for patients who are in ongoing care with a psychiatrist there. Please note the practice has limitations on patient acuity, so some patients’ needs may be too urgent or complex for Talkiatry’s telehealth-only model. (For example, patients cannot be accepted with a psychiatric hospitalization in the last 4 months, suicide attempt in last 6 months, chronic suicidality, current/recent medically-serious eating disorder, severe substance use disorder, schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, or current/desired treatment with ketamine, medical cannabis prescription, or psychedelics.) Dr. Tillberg unfortunately does not see patients with borderline personality disorder, although patients may be able to work with another clinician within Talkiatry specializing in this diagnosis.

The initial visit will be a 50-minute consultation to determine if Talkiatry/Dr. Tillberg are a good fit for patients’ needs. PLEASE NOTE the automated ZocDoc scheduler below does not always show all available new patient appointment slots, so ***please contact Talkiatry directly if you do not see any appointments available.***
