Serving Silver Spring

Psychiatry and therapy for Silver Spring, MD

Silver Spring sits directly on the District line, and so does our Washington office. Georgia Avenue, 16th Street or the Red Line all make the trip short; for everything else there is video. Few of our service areas have it this convenient.

Care in Silver Spring(section 2)

What local care looks like here

Silver Spring is downcounty Montgomery at full density: a genuine downtown, first-generation communities from every continent, federal workers at White Oak’s FDA campus, artists and activists in Takoma Park’s orbit, and the constant gravitational pull of the District a mile south. Lives here run bilingual and cross-border by default, and mental health care has to keep up with both.

Built for the line-straddling life

Our Washington office sits on North Capitol Street, minutes from the Silver Spring line by any route, which makes in-person evaluations, medication management and therapy genuinely local. Providers licensed in Maryland and D.C. mean the appointment follows you: video from a Wheaton apartment, from a downtown D.C. office at lunch, or in person on North Capitol: one care relationship, wherever the day put you. Children, teens and families included, with a closer schedule available when a season needs more.

The number that never closes

Call or text 988 from anywhere in Silver Spring for free, confidential crisis support around the clock; call 911 in immediate danger. For everything treatable on a calendar, request an appointment: online any hour, or by phone in office hours.

Good to know

Care in Silver Spring, answered plainly

Read the full patient FAQ
How do Silver Spring patients usually reach you?

The D.C. office at 1402 North Capitol St NW is the near door: straight down Georgia Avenue or 16th Street, or Red Line to a short connection. Plenty of patients fold appointments into a downtown workday instead. And for weeks when neither works, secure video is a full appointment with the same provider; our licences cover Maryland and the District both.

Silver Spring is one of the most diverse places in Maryland. Does your care reflect that?

It is built for it. The practice's stated approach is culturally responsive, patient-centred psychiatry. Care that does not require you to explain your community, your faith or your family's shape before getting to the point. That matters everywhere; in Silver Spring it is simply the job description.

Can I be seen without a referral?

Yes. Request an appointment online or call directly; no referral is needed on our side. Some insurance plans carry their own referral rules, which is worth one call to your carrier, or to us at (443) 538-8400 and we will help you sort it before the first visit.
