Online Psychiatric Care in Maryland
Personalized psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults and adolescents, with specialized attention to ADHD and the unique ways it can present in women.

Your care, step by step
How Online Psychiatric Care Works in Maryland
Every new patient starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We review your symptoms, history, current and past medications, and what you want to get out of treatment. Then we talk through what may be going on, your options, and a treatment plan built around you.
After that, follow-up visits are used to see how treatment is working, adjust the plan when needed, and answer your questions along the way.
Comprehensive evaluation
Talk through your symptoms, health and treatment history, current concerns, and goals with your provider.
A plan built around you
Discuss what may be contributing to your symptoms and review clinically appropriate treatment options together.
Ongoing follow-up
Review how treatment is working, discuss questions or side effects, and adjust the plan when needed.
Prepare for your first visit
- Be in Maryland during each appointment. Telehealth care is tied to where you are physically located at the time of the visit, not where you live.
- Have a device with a camera. Visits are by secure video, using a phone, tablet, or computer and a private place to talk. Care is primarily provided via telehealth. When clinically necessary, an in-person appointment may be arranged in Maryland.
- Allow time for insurance verification. Verification can take up to 4 business days, so it helps to book a little ahead.
Want to talk before scheduling an evaluation?
We offer a 15-minute pre-booking consultation for $50. It's a chance to ask questions and see whether our practice is the right fit. It isn't a psychiatric evaluation, and no diagnoses, medication recommendations, or prescriptions are given during it. The fee is nonrefundable and isn't credited toward future appointments.

Understanding adult ADHD
ADHD Evaluation and Treatment for Adults in Maryland
Many adults are evaluated for ADHD for the first time years after their symptoms began. Some were told as children that they just needed to try harder. Others managed well until work, school, or family responsibilities became too much to keep up with.
An adult ADHD evaluation looks at your current symptoms, how long you've had them, and how they affect different parts of your life. It also considers other conditions, like anxiety or depression, that can look similar or exist alongside ADHD.
ADHD can look different in women
Symptoms are often less outwardly hyperactive and more internal: trouble focusing, mental exhaustion, forgetfulness, or feeling constantly behind despite working hard. Because of this, many women aren't diagnosed until adulthood, sometimes after years of being treated only for anxiety or depression. Understanding how ADHD presents in women is a particular focus of our practice.

ADHD Medications and Telehealth
Medication can be an important part of ADHD treatment, but it's never the starting point. Any medication decision follows a full psychiatric evaluation and is based on what's clinically appropriate for you.
Prescribing, including for stimulants and other controlled medications, follows applicable federal and Maryland requirements. That includes checking Maryland's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP), which tracks controlled medication prescriptions across the state. Care is primarily provided via telehealth. When clinically necessary, an in-person appointment may be arranged in Maryland.
No specific medication is guaranteed through telehealth. What we can promise is a careful evaluation, a clear explanation of your options, and a say in the decisions about your treatment.
Treatment decisions are collaborative and based on a full evaluation.
