## Quick answer

Unique Minds Behavioral Health Services provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management and therapy to Howard County, Maryland, including Columbia, Ellicott City and Elkridge. Patients are seen in person at our Baltimore and Washington, D.C. offices, or by secure telehealth from home. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and appointments can be requested online.

Howard County runs along the Baltimore–Washington corridor, which is exactly how most of its
residents live: school in one direction, work in the other. Care with us fits that shape: the
Baltimore office serves the county's north and east, the Washington, D.C. office its south and
west, and secure telehealth serves the weeks when neither drive is worth it.

## Columbia, Ellicott City and everywhere between

From Columbia's villages to historic Ellicott City, Elkridge, Clarksville and the smaller
communities out to Woodbine, Howard County patients use the full practice: psychiatric
evaluation, medication management, and individual and family therapy. Stepped up when weekly
appointments are not enough.

Telehealth matters here in a specific way: our providers are licensed in both Maryland **and**
the District, so a Howard County commuter can keep the same provider whether an appointment
happens from a kitchen table in Columbia or a lunch break in a private room downtown.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do you have an office in Columbia or Ellicott City?
Not at the moment. The practice has locations in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Ohio; the two that matter here are Baltimore (Park Heights Avenue) and Washington, D.C. (North Capitol Street). Howard County patients choose whichever is easier, and many alternate in-person visits with secure video appointments so routine follow-ups do not need a drive at all.
### Is telehealth available anywhere in Howard County?
Yes. Our providers are licensed for all of Maryland, so video appointments work from Columbia, Ellicott City or anywhere else in the county, for psychiatric evaluations, medication follow-ups and therapy alike. You need a phone or computer and a private place to talk.
### Which insurance plans do Howard County patients use with you?
We accept Medicare, Maryland Medicaid, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Amerigroup, MedStar, AmeriHealth and Optum, plus self-pay. Coverage details vary by plan, so it is worth a quick call to your insurer, or to us at (443) 538-8400, before the first visit.
