Psychiatric Services in DC & Virginia

A thoughtful, in-depth evaluation is the foundation of effective psychiatric care.

 

Your initial evaluation explores your current concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, previous treatment experiences, sleep, lifestyle, stressors, and personal goals.

 

Together, we develop a clear understanding of what you're experiencing and create an individualized treatment plan that considers the whole person, not simply a diagnosis. 

​

What you can expect: clarity about what you're experiencing, a clearer diagnosis when appropriate, and a personalized, evidence-based plan, plus the feeling of having been genuinely heard. 

ADHD can affect attention, organization, motivation, emotional regulation, relationships, school, and work, and its symptoms can overlap with many other mental health conditions.

 

Our evaluation goes beyond a simple questionnaire and includes a psychiatric and diagnostic assessment, validated ADHD measures, a clinical interview, and FDA-cleared objective computerized testing when appropriate.

 

A dedicated follow-up appointment is included to review your results and develop personalized recommendations for next steps. 

​

What you can expect: diagnostic clarity, a clearer picture of your attention and executive functioning, and a plan built around your actual findings, not a guess.

Medication can be an important part of mental health treatment, but it should never feel like the entire plan.

 

We provide individualized medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and insomnia, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, previous treatment experiences, physical health, sleep, lifestyle, and your personal preferences. 

​

What you can expect: an effective, well-tolerated treatment approach, meaningful improvement in day-to-day functioning, and regular check-ins on whether your plan still fits your needs and goals.

Finding the right medication can sometimes take time.

 

We offer GeneSight® and Genomind® pharmacogenomic testing as optional tools to help make treatment decisions more personalized and informed.

 

These tests offer insight into how your genetics may influence the way your body processes certain psychiatric medications- one piece of a much bigger picture, considered alongside your symptoms, health, and preferences. 

​

What you can expect: additional information to help guide medication decisions, especially if past treatment has felt like trial and error. 

For patients interested in exploring their mental health beyond traditional psychiatric treatment, we offer optional services that examine factors that may influence emotional well-being, including sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, evidence-informed supplements, and daily routines.

 

These services complement, rather than replace, evidence-based psychiatric care.

 

Because some of these services extend beyond what insurance considers medically necessary, they may be offered on a self-pay basis, and we'll always discuss any costs with you in advance.

​

What you can expect: practical, personalized ways to support your treatment and strengthen resilience over time.
