Why shrinkMD
Why Tysons chooses shrinkMD
From the towers to Vienna to Merrifield, visits happen by video from booked conference rooms, apartments, or homes, with follow ups of 15 to 30 minutes that fit a packed Monday.
We bill no insurance, so care exists in no employer adjacent system, with flat published fees and measured progress instead of guesswork.
What's included
What your evaluation includes
Plan for 45 to 60 minutes of real clinical work, two to four times the length of a rushed intake. Your clinician maps your symptoms and their timeline, screens the conditions that imitate one another, including bipolar patterns hiding behind depression and anxiety masking trauma, reviews medical contributors like thyroid problems and sleep loss, and documents every psychiatric medication you have tried with its dose, duration, and response.
You leave with a working diagnosis explained in plain language, validated baseline scores so progress can be measured, and a concrete plan covering medication and therapy options. Prescriptions reach your local pharmacy the same day when medication is part of the plan, and your follow up is booked before you sign off. If we are not the right level of care, we say so and point you to what is.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Consulting travel takes me out of state weekly. Does that break treatment?
No, it requires planning: appointments happen while you are physically in a licensed state, so we schedule follow ups for home weeks.
Is Big Four burnout treatable or do I just need a new job?
Sometimes both: the evaluation distinguishes burnout from depression and anxiety disorders, which respond to treatment regardless of the job decision.
What happens after the evaluation?
Treatment starts: same day prescriptions when appropriate, a booked follow up, therapy coordination when it belongs in the plan, and measured progress from visit one.
Do I need a referral to book an evaluation?
No. You book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward so the whole picture stays connected.
Is a video evaluation as accurate as in person?
Yes. Psychiatric evaluation is history, conversation, and structured screening, all fully intact over secure video, and the research consistently shows equivalence.
