Online Psychiatric Medication Management in Maryland

Maryland may be compact, but Baltimore–Washington traffic, Bay crossings, and travel from western counties can turn an appointment into hours away from home. SimplyCalm provides secure online psychiatric evaluations and medication management for Maryland patients ages 6 and older.

You must be physically located in Maryland during each appointment. Same-week appointments may be available.

Initial evaluation

Discuss current concerns, relevant health and psychiatric history, previous treatment, medications, and goals.

2

Informed choices

Review reasonable options, potential benefits, possible side effects, and alternatives before deciding together.

3

Ongoing monitoring

Evaluate response and safety, answer questions, and adjust the plan when clinically indicated.

Steven works with children ages 6+, teens, and adults experiencing concerns that may include ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD or trauma-related symptoms, panic, OCD, insomnia, and related conditions.
