Psychiatrist serving Waldorf, MD
Psychiatric care for Waldorf and Southern Maryland — federal employees and contractors commuting north to DC and Joint Base Andrews, Charles County families, and CCPS students. Telepsychiatry across Maryland so you do not need to make the round-trip up US-301.
What we hear from Waldorf patients
Waldorf has grown faster than the infrastructure around it. The US-301 commute is its own daily stress test for a workforce that skews heavily federal — DOD civilians, Andrews-based service members and contractors, healthcare staff at MedStar Southern Maryland, and small-business owners along Crain Highway. School-age kids are stretched across a CCPS system that has expanded fast.
We try to meet that reality with care that is steady and unhurried. 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 Charles 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 Waldorf patients log in from a home office, a parked car, or a quiet conference room.
Waldorf FAQ
How soon can a Waldorf patient be seen?
New evaluations are usually offered within five to seven business days. Telepsychiatry is a real fit for Waldorf — most patients want to avoid an extra round-trip on US-301 or the Beltway.
Do you treat federal employees and contractors commuting to DC, Andrews, or the Navy Yard?
Yes. A meaningful share of our Waldorf panel commutes north into DC or to Joint Base Andrews. Telepsychiatry from a home office, a parked car, or a lunch break in a private space is the most common arrangement.
My child attends Westlake, North Point, La Plata, or Thomas Stone. 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 primary care doctor or therapist in Charles County?
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.
