Some clients need more than therapy alone: a medication evaluation, a clearer diagnosis, or treatment that works faster. WIP gives your clients psychiatrist-led care, from medication management to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), Spravato, TMS, and stellate ganglion block, while you remain their therapist.
Our psychiatrists at WIP-DC and WIP-Rockville work alongside you, communicate directly with you, and keep therapy at the center of your client’s care.
Clients at imminent risk should go to the nearest emergency room or call 988. For a fast outpatient appointment, call us at (202) 525-5123.
KAP at WIP is delivered within a psychiatrist-led medical framework, in collaboration with the treating therapist, who remains central to the therapeutic work. KAP is not a standalone treatment. It supports and deepens a client’s existing therapy.
Psychiatric evaluation, dosing strategy, in-office ketamine administration (IV, IM, or sublingual troches), and medical monitoring.
Preparation, integration, and ongoing psychotherapy.
Ketamine works best paired with a trained KAP therapist or the client’s own therapist. We can involve a WIP-affiliated KAP therapist alongside your work when helpful.
Learn more about KAP at WIP.
We evaluate your client, recommend a plan, and coordinate with you. Your client continues therapy with you.
A WIP psychiatrist manages medication and any interventional treatment while you continue therapy. We share updates at key decision points.
WIP handles the medical side of ketamine; you lead preparation and integration.
With your client’s written consent, the psychiatrist communicates with you directly, not through front-desk intermediaries. Hard cases are reviewed at our weekly case conference.
You can also send your client our scheduling link. For physicians, see referrals for primary care physicians and hospital and ER step-down.
Yes. Therapy stays central. WIP adds psychiatric evaluation, medication, and interventional treatment alongside your work, and your client remains your client.
No. You can continue as your client’s therapist through preparation and integration, and we’ll coordinate with you. For trauma, ketamine works best paired with a trained KAP therapist, so we can also involve a WIP-affiliated KAP therapist alongside your ongoing work if that helps.
With your client’s written consent, the psychiatrist communicates with you directly at key points: initial evaluation, treatment plan, response, changes, and completion.
Yes. Call 202-525-5123, or use the referral form and select “I’d like to discuss this case first,” and a WIP psychiatrist will contact you.

Yes. Our fellowship-trained child and adolescent psychiatrists see children and teens for evaluation and medication management. TMS is FDA-cleared as an add-on treatment for major depression in adolescents 15 and older. Ketamine, Spravato, and KAP are for adults.
