At Washington Interventional Psychiatry (WIP), our team of 13 board-certified psychiatrists provides comprehensive psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. From your first evaluation through ongoing treatment, you’ll work directly with a psychiatrist in a practice that offers every evidence-based treatment option under one roof.
No waitlist for new patients. New-patient appointments are typically available within 7 days — in person at our Washington, DC and Rockville, MD offices or by secure video visit.
General psychiatry is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions. At WIP, general psychiatric care begins with a thorough evaluation and leads to a personalized treatment plan — which may include psychotherapy, medication management, or both.
Psychiatrist-led, at every step. Your care is directed by a board-certified psychiatrist with the medical training to manage complex diagnoses and medications safely.
Your first visit is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, typically lasting 60–90 minutes. Your psychiatrist will discuss your current concerns, medical and psychiatric history, medications you’ve tried, and your goals for treatment. For children and adolescents, parents or guardians participate, and the evaluation is developmentally tailored.
By the end of the evaluation, you’ll leave with a working diagnosis, a clear treatment plan, and a scheduled follow-up. If medication is part of the plan, your psychiatrist manages it directly — see our Psychiatric Medications page for how ongoing medication management works.
Our adult psychiatry services address the full spectrum of mental health concerns for individuals 18 and older — from a first-ever depression or anxiety evaluation to long-term management of complex conditions. Learn more about our Psychiatry Services for Adults.
Children aren’t small adults — and their psychiatric care shouldn’t be scaled-down adult care. Our fellowship-trained child and adolescent psychiatrists provide family-centered, developmentally appropriate evaluation and treatment for concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. Learn more about our Psychiatry Services for Children and Adolescents.
For some patients, therapy and first-line medications don’t bring adequate relief. As the DC area’s comprehensive interventional psychiatry practice, WIP offers advanced, evidence-based options — TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), ketamine infusion therapy, Spravato (esketamine), and stellate ganglion block — without referring you elsewhere. Your general psychiatrist and our interventional team coordinate directly, so nothing about your history gets lost in a handoff.
Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you’re looking for a practice with more options, we’re ready to help — no waitlist for new patients, with appointments typically within 7 days. Schedule online or call 202-525-5123 to book at our Washington, DC or Rockville, MD office.
How soon can I get an appointment? We don’t keep a waitlist for new patients — new-patient evaluations are typically scheduled within 7 days, and both our Washington, DC and Rockville, MD offices are accepting new patients. We update this site when we do have a waitlist.
Do you accept insurance? We are an out of network practice and generally do not accept insurance. We are in-network for TMS with UnitedHealthcare. We do provide superbills and invoices for you to submit to your insurer.
Do you offer virtual appointments? Yes. Telehealth visits are available for patients located in DC, MD, VA when clinically appropriate.
What’s the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist? Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose conditions, prescribe and manage medication, and coordinate medical treatments. Therapists provide talk therapy but cannot prescribe. Many patients benefit from both, and we coordinate with outside therapists when helpful.
Do you treat children? Yes — our team includes 5 fellowship-trained child and adolescent psychiatrists.
