Who We See in Annapolis
As Maryland’s capital, Annapolis is home to a large community of state employees, legislative staff, lobbyists and attorneys whose workloads spike during the legislative session. We see many of them for anxiety, depression, insomnia and burnout, with short video follow-ups that fit around packed schedules.
The U.S. Naval Academy also shapes the city. We see family members of Navy personnel who carry civilian insurance; TRICARE isn’t one of our in-network plans. Hospital staff, maritime and tourism workers, St. John’s College students, and families in Eastport and West Annapolis make up much of the rest of our Annapolis practice.
What We Treat
Visits cover psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for adults. Common reasons people book:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- PTSD and trauma and OCD
- Bipolar disorder and insomnia
- Medication management and prescriber transfers
- ESA letter evaluations in Maryland
