At WIP Psychiatry & Ketamine/TMS Center, “Psychiatry Expanded” reflects a structured model of care that brings together comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and advanced interventional treatments within one unified clinical framework.
We are a psychiatrist-led practice serving Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Our work is grounded in core psychiatric principles: diagnostic rigor, longitudinal oversight, and thoughtful risk–benefit assessment. Interventional treatments — including ketamine and TMS — are integrated into ongoing psychiatric care, rather than delivered as isolated services.
Founded by Dr. Christopher Raczynski and Dr. Navin Reddy, WIP was built to expand what modern psychiatric practice can responsibly offer while maintaining high clinical standards. The practice also serves as a clinical training site for Georgetown University psychiatry residents, reinforcing our commitment to education, structured care, and disciplined innovation.
Psychiatry Expanded means expanding treatment options — without abandoning the foundations of psychiatry.
Washington Interventional Psychiatry was founded by Dr. Navin Reddy and Dr. Christopher Raczynski, who met during their training at Yale. Early in their careers, they recognized a structural gap in psychiatric practice: advanced treatments were emerging, yet often disconnected from comprehensive psychiatric oversight.
As they progressed into leadership roles within larger institutions, they observed the need for a model that preserved diagnostic rigor while responsibly integrating interventional therapies. They shared a conviction that innovation in psychiatry should expand treatment options without fragmenting care.
WIP was established to embody that model.
From its inception, the practice was designed as a psychiatrist-led framework that integrates evaluation, medication management, and interventional treatments within a unified system of longitudinal care. Academic engagement remains central to its mission, including the training of Georgetown psychiatry residents in interventional practices.
WIP reflects a belief that psychiatric care can expand — without abandoning its foundations.
Dr. Christopher Raczynski brings a broad clinical perspective to Washington Interventional Psychiatry, with expertise in child, adult, and forensic psychiatry. He earned his medical degree from University College Dublin National University School of Medicine and completed residency training in adult psychiatry, followed by fellowships in child and forensic psychiatry, at Yale University.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Raczynski serves on the Washington, DC Board of Medicine, reflecting his commitment to maintaining high professional and regulatory standards within the field of psychiatry.

Our clinical model integrates psychiatrists, therapists, and support staff within a unified system of care. The team includes:
As a psychiatrist-led practice in Washington, DC, WIP is built around board-certified psychiatrists (MDs) specializing in psychiatric diagnosis, medication management, and advanced interventional treatments.
Our nursing staff plays a central role in the delivery of interventional and on-site psychiatric care. They are trained in clinical monitoring, medication administration, and patient safety protocols to support treatments such as ketamine therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Working closely with our psychiatrists, our nurses ensure that care is delivered safely, consistently, and in alignment with established clinical standards.
Washington Interventional Psychiatry works with licensed therapists and professional counselors who provide evidence-based psychotherapy across a range of mental health conditions.
Therapists collaborate closely with our psychiatrists to support comprehensive treatment plans and, when appropriate, participate in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) within a structured medical framework. This integrated model allows psychotherapy, medication management, and interventional treatments to be coordinated under consistent clinical oversight.
Our counselors bring additional perspectives and therapeutic approaches, further enhancing our ability to address a wide range of mental health concerns.
To support continuity of care, Washington Interventional Psychiatry utilizes a dedicated team of trained virtual assistants with backgrounds in healthcare administration, nursing support, and insurance coordination.
Each psychiatrist and nurse practitioner is paired with a dedicated assistant. The level of involvement is tailored to the clinician’s workflow and the needs of the patient, creating a structured system for communication, medication refills, scheduling, insurance coordination, and documentation.
This model promotes timely responses, expedited prescription management, and coordinated follow-up while allowing physicians to focus on clinical decision-making and direct patient care.
Care at Washington Interventional Psychiatry is delivered within a coordinated clinical model. Psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and support staff work within a shared framework to ensure that diagnostic evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and interventional treatments are aligned.
This structured approach allows biological, psychological, and social factors to be addressed systematically, with clear clinical oversight and continuity of care across treatment modalities.
Washington Interventional Psychiatry provides psychiatrist-led, comprehensive psychiatric care for adults, adolescents, and children across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Our model integrates diagnostic evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy collaboration, and advanced interventional treatments within a unified clinical framework.
Patients receive care from board-certified psychiatrists supported by dedicated clinical staff and structured communication systems. We emphasize continuity of care, timely appointments, coordinated follow-up, and responsive medication management to support long-term clinical stability.
As a specialized interventional psychiatry practice, we offer IV ketamine therapy, Spravato (esketamine), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), accelerated TMS protocols, daily TMS protocols, Stellate Ganglion Blocks and comprehensive psychopharmacology. Treatments are delivered within ongoing psychiatric oversight, ensuring that interventional therapies remain integrated with longitudinal care.
We utilize structured outcome tracking to inform clinical decision-making. Among patients treated for depression at WIP who participated in measurement-based care, 87% demonstrated measurable symptom improvement. For anxiety disorders, 79% experienced improvement.
Individual results vary based on diagnosis, clinical complexity, and treatment course. Outcome data are used to guide ongoing adjustments and ensure care remains aligned with each patient’s needs.
