Our care

How our care is shaped

01

Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy at Rock Creek Clinical is practice-based, which means your therapist draws on modalities with a meaningful evidence base, among them cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and acceptance-based frameworks, selecting and combining them in response to what a particular person needs at a particular moment in treatment. Sessions are structured around genuine clinical engagement rather than manualized routine, and the therapeutic relationship itself is understood as part of the mechanism of change.

Psychiatry & Medication Management

Psychiatric care at Rock Creek Clinical begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation that treats the initial appointment as a beginning of understanding, not a hurdle before prescribing. Board-certified psychiatrists conduct medication management within an ongoing clinical relationship, revisiting the diagnostic picture as treatment unfolds and remaining attentive to the ways that medications interact with the texture of a person's daily life. The goal is a psychiatric formulation that is accurate and that a patient can recognize as their own.

03

Telehealth

Secure video appointments allow Rock Creek Clinical to extend its model of careful, unhurried care to patients throughout Washington, D.C. who cannot easily travel to an in-office visit, whether because of schedule, health, or the practical realities of the city. The clinical standard is identical to in-person care; telehealth is offered not as a diminished alternative but as a genuinely flexible means of maintaining the continuity that makes long-term treatment effective.

Couples & Family Care

Relational work at this practice is available to adult couples and family systems navigating conflict, loss, major life transitions, or the accumulated weight of patterns that have become difficult to shift without outside perspective. The clinician's role in couples and family care here is not to adjudicate disputes but to create the conditions under which the people in the room can think more clearly about what they actually want from their relationships and from each other.

05

Specialty Care

Beyond general psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care, Rock Creek Clinical maintains focused clinical attention on several areas where adults in high-demand professional and civic environments frequently encounter difficulty: anxiety and stress-related conditions, mood disorders with complex presentations, trauma, and the particular pressures that accompany major life and career transitions. These specialty programs are not separate tracks but areas where the practice's clinicians have cultivated depth of experience and are prepared to work at a correspondingly higher level of complexity.

About the practice

Rock Creek Clinical

Mental health care, at its most useful, is a sustained conversation between a clinician and a person who deserves the full weight of clinical attention. Rock Creek Clinical was built around that premise: that unhurried evaluation, honest dialogue, and intellectual rigor are not luxuries but the conditions under which real progress becomes possible.

Our clinical team is composed of board-certified psychiatrists and independently licensed therapists (psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors). We deliver care both in person and through secure telehealth, and we work with most major commercial insurance plans.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How long does it typically take to get an initial appointment at Rock Creek Clinical?
Availability varies by clinician and service type, and the practice does not publish a fixed wait time that would be misleading to rely on. Contacting the practice directly is the most accurate way to understand current availability; the administrative team can generally give you a realistic picture of timing for the service you are looking for within one business day.
Is telehealth available for all services, including psychiatry and ongoing therapy?
Secure video appointments are available for psychiatric evaluation and medication management, individual psychotherapy, and most follow-up care. Some clinicians offer a hybrid arrangement in which in-person and telehealth visits alternate according to clinical judgment and patient preference. The intake team can clarify which services your specific clinician makes available by video.
What professional credentials do the clinicians at Rock Creek Clinical hold?
Psychiatrists at the practice are board-certified through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Psychotherapists hold licensure at the highest available level in the District of Columbia, which includes licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, and licensed psychologists. All clinicians maintain active licensure and continue their professional education as a condition of practice.
