Serving St. Mary's County via telepsychiatry, secure video visits from anywhere in Maryland. In-person care is available at our office in Waldorf, a manageable drive from St. Mary's County.

For families in Lexington Park, California, Leonardtown, and Great Mills, telepsychiatry is usually the simplest path to care, it removes the drive up Route 235 and Route 5 and lets you meet the same clinician by video, on a schedule that fits around work and school.

The evaluation is a structured clinical interview that ends with an initial diagnosis where one is warranted and a plan you understand and agree with. In-person first visits remain available at our Waldorf office for anyone who prefers to be seen in the room.

Telepsychiatry across St. Mary's County

St. Mary's sits at the southern end of the Western Shore, a long drive from many practices, which is exactly where telepsychiatry helps most. We see patients across Lexington Park, California, Leonardtown, Great Mills, Mechanicsville, and Hollywood by secure video, with no commute and no waiting room.

Families connected to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, active-duty, civilian, and contractor households alike, often find video visits easier to keep than in-person appointments around shifting schedules.

What your evaluation covers

A telepsychiatry evaluation is not a shorter or lighter version of an in-person one. It covers the same ground, with the same diagnostic reasoning:

  • A full history and a look at what is happening now
  • Validated screening tools where they add clarity
  • A review of your medical history and current medications
  • An initial diagnosis where warranted, and an agreed plan for next steps
