## Quick answer

Unique Minds Behavioral Health Services operates a Washington, D.C. office at 1402 North Capitol St NW, serving the District with psychiatric evaluation, medication management and therapy, in person or by secure video. Our providers are licensed in D.C. and Maryland, most major insurance plans are accepted, and appointments can be requested online.

Washington runs on proximity to power and pays for it in stress, and the city's mental health
access map is famously uneven, generous in upper Northwest and threadbare east of the Park. Our
office's location is a quiet statement: North Capitol Street, between NoMa's new towers and
Bloomingdale's row houses, on the seam where the city's halves meet. Walk-up neighborhoods, one
Metro stop, one bus line, no parking saga.

## The District practice

In person on North Capitol or by secure video anywhere in D.C.:
[psychiatric evaluation](/psychiatry-practices/psychiatric-evaluation) first, then
[medication management](/psychiatry-practices/medication-management) and
[therapy](/therapy-services): individual, family, [CBT](/therapy-services/cognitive-behavioral-therapy)
and the rest, for adults, children and teens. Dual D.C.–Maryland licensure makes the region's
signature cross-border life seamless, and culturally responsive care is the founding posture of
this practice, not a brochure line. When a season needs more than weekly visits, we say so early
rather than waiting for the next routine appointment.

## The city's crisis floor

Call or text 988 anywhere in the District. The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline answers free and
confidentially, around the clock, and call 911 in immediate danger. For everything treatment
can change, [request an appointment](/book-now) online any hour, or call during office hours.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where is the D.C. office and how do I reach it?
1402 North Capitol St NW, #1, Washington, DC 20002, on North Capitol between NoMa and Bloomingdale, a short walk from the NoMa–Gallaudet Metro and directly on the 80 bus line. Office hours are Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, Saturday by appointment. If anything about finding the suite is unclear on the day, call (443) 538-8400 and we will talk you in.
### I live in D.C. but work in Maryland: does that complicate anything?
No, and this is deliberate: our providers hold licences in both the District and Maryland, so your care is valid from your Petworth apartment, your Bethesda office or anywhere between. Video appointments follow you across the line; in-person visits happen on North Capitol Street or at our Baltimore office, whichever suits.
### Which insurance do D.C. patients use with you?
We accept Medicare, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Amerigroup, MedStar, AmeriHealth, Optum and Medicaid, plus self-pay by cash or card, and plan details differ, especially across D.C. and Maryland Medicaid programmes, so one verifying call to (443) 538-8400 before the first visit is time well spent.
