Our practice is currently offering medication management, which is provided (if appropriate) after an in-depth psychiatric evaluation during your first appointment. We treat anxiety disorders (to include generalized anxiety, OCD, and panic, among others), mood disorders (to include depression and bipolar disorders), ADHD and other conditions.

We offer telehealth services, and the vast majority of appointments are currently conducted via telehealth. However, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has some rules in place around the prescribing of controlled medications (i.e. stimulants for ADHD, and some of the less-frequently prescribed as-needed anxiety and sleep medications), and the need to be seen in-person.

Most patient are able to connect with their smart phones, tablets or computer. We ask that sessions be done in a private place such as a home, office and not in a public place like restaurants, coffee shops or grocery stores to ensure confidentiality of your visit.

We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Maryland Medicaid

Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, services can be covered in full or part. Please get in touch with your insurance provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychiatric/behavioral health services. We recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?

Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?

Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?

Do I need written approval from my primary care physician before seeing a mental health provider?

Our practice is in-network with Cigna, Optum/United Healthcare plans, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid and Magellan at this time. If you do not have any of these plans, our office can still see you as a self-pay patient, and you may qualify for some reimbursement from your insurer if you have out-of-network benefits.
