## Quick answer

Unique Minds serves California, Maryland and surrounding St. Mary's County (Lexington Park, Great Mills, Leonardtown, Hollywood and the Patuxent River NAS community) with psychiatric evaluation, medication management and therapy by secure telehealth. Maryland licensure covers the whole peninsula, and our Washington, D.C. office anchors the occasional in-person visit.

St. Mary's County is a peninsula with a paradox: one of Maryland's most technically skilled
workforces, Patuxent River Naval Air Station and its contractor constellation, living where
specialist medical care thins with every mile south of Waldorf. California, Lexington Park and
the 235 corridor boomed; psychiatric coverage did not. The result is familiar peninsula
arithmetic: hours of driving per appointment, or nothing.

## Deleting the drive, keeping the care

Our model here is unapologetically telehealth-first:
[psychiatric evaluation](/psychiatry-practices/psychiatric-evaluation),
[medication management](/psychiatry-practices/medication-management) and
[therapy](/therapy-services) by secure video, licensed for every address from Charlotte Hall to
Point Lookout Road's end. The county's real conditions get real treatment:
[anxiety](/anxiety-disorders-treatments) in high-pressure technical careers,
[depression](/depression-treatment), [ADHD](/adhd-treatment) in adults who out-organised it for
years, [family strain](/therapy-services/family-and-couples-therapy) in households that move on
orders. More frequent sessions add structure without adding a single mile, and the D.C. office
on North Capitol Street covers the in-person exceptions.

reason to wait.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does telehealth care work for the Pax River workforce?
It is close to purpose-built for it. Engineers, contractors and Navy-adjacent families run demanding, clearance-shaped schedules a waiting room ignores. Video appointments fit into lunch hours and after-shift windows, and continuity survives contract changes anywhere in Maryland or D.C. For questions about your specific insurance or employer plan, call (443) 538-8400 and we will verify it together.
### How far away is your nearest office, really?
Washington, D.C., roughly a Route 5/235 haul up the peninsula, which is exactly why we do not build care around it. In-person visits happen when they genuinely matter and get bundled sensibly; the standing rhythm of evaluations, follow-ups and therapy runs by secure video from wherever in St. Mary's you have a private hour.
### Can my teenager be seen without losing school days to drives?
Yes. That trade-off is the one telehealth deletes. Adolescent evaluations, therapy and medication care all run by video after school, parents included in the plan, school realities respected. For a county where the nearest adolescent psychiatry has historically been hours north, that is the practical difference between treated and untreated.
