Psychiatrist serving Bel Air, MD
Psychiatric care for the Bel Air community — Aberdeen Proving Ground employees and contractors, Harford County families across Forest Hill and Fallston, healthcare workers at UM Upper Chesapeake, and HCPS students. Telepsychiatry across Maryland.
What we hear from Bel Air patients
Bel Air sits at the seat of Harford County, with a workforce split between Aberdeen Proving Ground, defense and engineering contractors, healthcare staff at UM Upper Chesapeake, and a substantial small-business community. Many of our patients have roots in the county that go back generations and want care that respects that — not a clinic that treats them like an interchangeable case number.
We try to meet that with care that is unhurried and considered. Visits run long enough to actually think. Medications are reviewed deliberately. We aim for treatment plans you can describe to your spouse over dinner and feel good about.

How we work
- Board-certified prescribers. Each prescribing clinician is board-certified and licensed in Maryland.
- Patient-centered treatment plans. Your priorities, side-effect tolerance, and life context shape the plan — not a default protocol.
- Evidence-based, current. We follow APA guidelines and use measurement-based tools to track progress.
- Real follow-up cadence. Follow-ups are scheduled at clinically appropriate intervals, not parked weeks out by default.
- Coordinated with your team. We talk with your therapist and PCP when you authorize it.
Insurance & payment
We are in network with most major commercial plans common to Harford County employers, plus Maryland Medicaid. Visit the insurance page for self-pay rates and verification details.
Telepsychiatry across Maryland
Visits use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that runs in any current browser. You will need to be located in Maryland during the visit. Most Bel Air patients log in from a home office, a parked car, or a quiet conference room.
Bel Air FAQ
How soon can a Bel Air patient be seen?
New evaluations are usually offered within five to seven business days. Telepsychiatry is the most common arrangement for Harford County patients since it skips the I-95 round trip.
Do you treat APG-affiliated employees and contractors?
Yes. A meaningful share of our Harford County panel works at Aberdeen Proving Ground or for federal contractors in the area. Telepsychiatry from a home office or private space is the most common arrangement, and visit records are HIPAA-protected.
My child attends Bel Air, C. Milton Wright, John Carroll, or Patterson Mill. Do you treat adolescents?
We treat adolescents from age twelve and up for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and medication follow-up. A parent or guardian attends the first visit.
Can you coordinate with my therapist or PCP at UM UCH or another local practice?
Yes. With your written authorization we send updates to your therapist and PCP after relevant visits and discuss medication changes when appropriate.
Are evening or weekend slots available?
We hold a limited number of late-afternoon and early-evening appointments Monday through Friday, and weekend visits on request. Tell us your scheduling constraints at intake and we will work within them where we can.
What insurance do you accept?
In network plans include CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Johns Hopkins EHP, Priority Partners, and Maryland Medicaid. We verify benefits before your first appointment.
