Why Choose
Contemporary Care in Connecticut?
Our Danbury office serves as the headquarters for Contemporary Care, and our Greenwich location brings the same level of care to Fairfield County. Together, these offices have been serving Connecticut residents for over 25 years.
Our team includes board-certified psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists who work together to build treatment plans that fit each patient. We are not a one-size-fits-all practice. Clinicians meet weekly to review complex cases, so every patient benefits from the input of a group of experienced mental health professionals rather than a single provider.
Contemporary Care is among the most practiced TMS and Spravato providers in the country. Dr. Tarique Perera, founder and clinical director, is the founding president of the International Clinical TMS Society and the first author of the society’s published TMS Guidelines. The practice is also one of the most experienced Spravato providers in the United States, with Dr. Perera serving on Janssen’s Advisory Board.
Beyond the clinical team, our administrative staff works to make the process as smooth as possible for patients from the first call through ongoing care. We prioritize timely appointments, clear communication, and a patient experience that feels supportive rather than rushed.

Mental Health Disorders | A Guide for Connecticut Residents
Mental health disorders affect the way people think, feel, and function day to day. These conditions range widely in severity, from short-term disruptions to long-term challenges that interfere with work, relationships, and daily life. Common conditions include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and eating disorders.
There is no single cause behind most mental health conditions. They typically develop from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Traumatic experiences, chronic stress, and major life changes can all play a role in the onset or progression of symptoms.
Mental health conditions are medical conditions, not personal failings. They are rooted in biology and brain chemistry and deserve the same level of attention as any physical illness.
A licensed professional can help identify what is going on through a psychiatric evaluation. These evaluations may include neuropsychological and neurocognitive assessments that help diagnose conditions like ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, memory concerns, and more.
For Connecticut Residents:
Contemporary Care has two office locations in Connecticut — Danbury and Greenwich — and provides telehealth services throughout the state. Adults across Connecticut can access in-person and remote psychiatric care with the same team and the same standard of treatment.
Why Choose Contemporary Care for Ketamine Therapy?
Contemporary Care is the leading ketamine and Spravato provider in the United States, and that standing is tied directly to the work of our founder, Dr. Tarique Perera. Dr. Perera sits on the national board for ketamine treatment, which means he is not just practicing in the field but actively contributing to how ketamine therapy evolves at a clinical and policy level. Patients at Contemporary Care benefit from that involvement in a real and direct way. The protocols we follow reflect the most current research, and our team has the experience to back it up.
Why Choose Contemporary Care for TMS Therapy?
Contemporary Care is the number one TMS provider in the United States, and Dr. Tarique Perera has been central to that. As founding president of the International Clinical TMS Society and first author of the society’s published TMS Guidelines, Dr. Perera has spent years advancing TMS as a treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. Our team has administered TMS to thousands of patients, and that depth of experience shapes how we approach every case. Patients come to us when other treatments have not worked, and our track record reflects the outcomes that follow.
Difference between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist?
Many people feel uncertain about where to turn when seeking mental health support—should you see a psychiatrist or a psychologist? While both professionals are trained to understand the brain, emotions, thoughts, and behavior, there are key differences in their education, approach, and scope of practice.
Psychiatrist
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs or DOs) who attend medical school followed by four to five years of residency or fellowship training in psychiatry. Because of their medical background, psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide psychotherapy or counseling. Their ability to manage both the medical and psychological aspects of mental health makes them especially helpful for individuals who may benefit from medication as part of their treatment plan.
Psychologist
Psychologists typically earn a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology, which involves extensive training over at least five years. They specialize in psychological testing and assessments, including neuropsychological and neurocognitive evaluations. Psychologists also provide psychotherapy and counseling, helping individuals manage emotional and behavioral challenges through talk therapy. While some states allow psychologists to prescribe medications with additional training, Florida does not currently permit psychologists to prescribe medication.
Which One Should You See?
If you’re unsure, a good first step is speaking with a mental health clinic that offers psychiatric services. This ensures you’ll receive the most appropriate evaluation and treatment based on your unique needs.
