At Washington Interventional Psychiatry (WIP), we work closely with psychiatrists, therapists, and medical providers who are seeking advanced treatment options for patients with difficult-to-treat mood and anxiety disorders. Our team specializes in interventional psychiatry, including ketamine therapy, ketamine assisted psychotherapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and accelerated TMS protocols for patients who have not responded adequately to traditional treatments.
We view our role as collaborative and consultative. Patients referred to WIP continue to work with their primary psychiatrist or therapist while receiving specialized interventional care at our clinic. This approach allows patients to benefit from rapid-acting treatments such as ketamine therapy and TMS, while maintaining continuity with the clinicians who know them best.
We partner with clinicians across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia to support patients who have not fully responded to standard treatment.

At WIP, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is delivered within a structured, psychiatry-led medical setting.
We work in collaboration with treating therapists, who remain central to the therapeutic process. Our role is to provide:
• Psychiatric evaluation
• Dosing strategy
• In-office ketamine administration
• Medical monitoring
Therapists continue to provide:
• Preparation
• Integration
• Ongoing psychotherapy
KAP is not a standalone treatment. It is used to support and deepen ongoing therapy.
In our experience, patients may demonstrate:
• Reduced rigidity around distressing or traumatic material
• Greater emotional access and tolerance
• Increased ability to engage in therapeutic work
Our goal is to facilitate meaningful therapeutic progress while maintaining continuity with the existing treatment relationship.
We prioritize clear communication and coordination:
• Summary following initial evaluation
• Updates during treatment when clinically relevant
• Clear plan for ongoing management
Most patients continue working with their existing psychiatrist, nurse practitioner, and/or therapist.
When clinically appropriate or preferred, ongoing psychiatric care can also be provided within WIP to support continuity.
We aim to support the work already underway, with clear communication and defined roles throughout treatment.
For patients undergoing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), we can coordinate directly with treating therapists or include them in the therapeutic process.
