About the practice

A practice built around being heard

Unique Minds Behavioral Health Services is an outpatient psychiatry and therapy practice with offices in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., founded on the belief that compassionate, culturally responsive care changes lives.

Our mission

To provide compassionate, personalized and culturally sensitive mental health care, fostering healing, resilience and holistic well-being through evidence-based treatment, continuous support, and an unwavering commitment to improving lives.

The full mission and vision statements live on their own page.

Who we are

We are an outpatient behavioral health practice with locations in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Ohio, in person at our offices and by secure telehealth across Maryland and the District. Our clinical team is three doctorally prepared, board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners and a Doctor of Social Work, and our care runs the full range: psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and individual, family and group therapy.

The practice was founded by Dr. Victorine Ngang, DNP on a straightforward conviction: that psychiatric care works best when it is personal: evaluation before prescription, plans built with patients rather than for them, and follow-up that actually follows up.

How we practise

Three commitments shape every appointment. Patient-centred: your goals and values steer the plan, and nothing clinical is decided without you.Trauma-informed: care proceeds at a pace that never asks you to relive in order to be helped. Culturally responsive: you should not have to translate your life, your family's shape or your community for your clinician. Our providers' stated focus includes Black and African American communities and patients of every background.

And one practical promise threads through it all: booking is online and takes about a minute, telehealth is a first-class option rather than a concession, and the patient FAQanswers the questions people actually ask before calling.
