Serving the Annapolis Community
Annapolis is Maryland's capital and a historic waterfront city, blending government workers, Naval Academy families, maritime professionals, and long-time residents. The mental health needs here span adult anxiety and depression, ADHD care, and support for the stress that comes with high-pressure public and military-adjacent roles.
Because Annapolis sits at the end of Route 50 with limited transit into the DC metro area, traveling to an appointment can be time-consuming. Telehealth lets residents access a board-certified psychiatric provider from home, making consistent follow-up care far more practical.
