Montgomery County’s mental health picture has a particular shape: high-functioning stress. Federal careers and contractor deadlines, schools where the baseline is excellence, costs that demand two incomes, and a culture fluent in wellness vocabulary yet chronically short on the time to use it. Anxiety and burnout here often wear achievement’s clothes, which makes them easy to postpone and expensive to ignore.
Two doors, one practice
The Washington, D.C. office at 1402 North Capitol St NW is the in-person door: a short hop from the downcounty side: Takoma Park, Silver Spring (which has its own page), Bethesda via the District, and workable from anywhere the Red Line reaches. Telehealth is the other door, and upcounty’s favorite: Gaithersburg, Germantown, Olney and Potomac patients keep therapy weekly and medication follow-ups frictionless without ever braving I-270 for it. Both doors lead to the same evaluation-first care, for children and adults.
