Psychiatry Services in Washington, DC

Empathetic, Evidence-Based, Integrative Mental Health Care

Our psychiatry team offers personalized, evidence-based mental health support for children, adolescents, and adults. With a focus on integrative care, we combine psychotherapy, medication, neuromodulation, and advanced diagnostics to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more.

Our Personalized, Integrative Approach

We believe mental health care should be compassionate, comprehensive, and grounded in science. Our psychiatry services are person-centered and evidence-based, with a focus on understanding the full picture of your health.

Our integrative approach considers the physical, emotional, social, environmental, and spiritual factors that may affect your well-being. Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or your child, we prioritize the least invasive and most effective interventions—designed to work with your body’s natural healing processes.

What to Expect During Your Evaluation

To build a personalized care plan, we begin with a structured intake process. This typically includes:

  • Pre-consultation interviews to gather key background details
  • Custom questionnaires to explore specific concerns
  • Comprehensive intake sessions where our psychiatrists clarify and expand on your history

This thorough evaluation helps us understand the severity and root cause of your symptoms, enabling us to design a support plan that’s truly tailored to your needs. The intake process generally takes one to two sessions to complete.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing & Evaluation

We employ a range of clinical assessments to ensure accurate diagnosis and informed treatment planning.

Laboratory & Medical Testing

We may conduct advanced lab panels to evaluate:

  • Blood chemistry (CBC, liver, kidney, thyroid)

  • Infectious diseases (e.g., Lyme, PANDAS, viral/bacterial/fungal)

Genetic Markers & DNA sequencing

As leaders in pharmacogenetics, we analyze your genetic markers to:

  • Identify metabolic and hereditary conditions

  • Predict medication efficacy and side effects

  • Personalize your treatment plan based on DNA insights

Comprehensive Psychological & Cognitive Testing

Our psychologists perform age-appropriate assessments including:

  • Neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations

  • Social-emotional and developmental testing

  • Giftedness (including twice-exceptional or 2E) assessments

  • Admissions and cognitive aptitude tests

Quantitative EEG (qEEG) Brain Mapping

qEEG measures brainwave activity to:

  • Create a “brain map” of functional patterns

  • Support diagnosis of neurological or psychological concerns

  • Guide treatment plans including neuromodulation and medication

Holistic & Therapeutic Treatment Options

We offer a wide range of supportive therapies designed to improve mental wellness through lifestyle changes, targeted interventions, and advanced brain-based treatments. Each option is tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

Sleep and Exercise

Quality sleep is essential for emotional stability, energy, and mental clarity. We assess your sleep using wearable technology or, if needed, formal sleep studies. Exercise is also addressed to help reduce stress, improve mood, and support overall brain health.

Diet and Your Microbiome

Your gut microbiome plays a critical role in mental well-being. We offer guidance on dietary strategies that support healthy gut bacteria, and we may recommend natural prebiotics and probiotics to restore balance and reduce inflammation linked to mood disturbances.

Pharmacology and Supplements

We often begin with non-medication strategies. When symptoms are more severe, we offer precise medication management guided by genetic testing and qEEG analysis. We also recommend supplements when deficiencies, such as low vitamin D, impact your mood, energy, or immune system.
