Therapist in Frederick, MD, with medication management by video

Therapy and medication management for Frederick County, by video or phone, for ages 6 and up. In-home ABA therapy is available too.

No referral needed. Prescriptions sent to your chosen pharmacy.

Pairing therapy with medication management

Some Frederick County clients want therapy alone, some want medication alone, and some want both. They are separate services, and you can start with either. When your therapist and nurse practitioner are both at Hearthway, they coordinate with your permission so your care fits together. You can also keep a therapist you already have and use only our medication management.

Medication care with a nurse practitioner

A licensed nurse practitioner meets you by video or phone for a psychiatric evaluation and explains what they found and a recommended plan, which may or may not include medication. Prescriptions go to the Frederick-area pharmacy you choose. We manage ADHD, depression, anxiety and panic, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD symptoms and sleep problems related to mood.

Some medications, including some for ADHD, have extra federal and state rules for telehealth prescribing. If one applies to you, your nurse practitioner explains it before any decision. We can't promise a specific medication.

Frederick County and in-home ABA

We don't have a Frederick office; every therapy and medication visit is by telehealth. For children and young adults under 21 with autism, in-home ABA through Maryland Medicaid is available, and we confirm staffing in Frederick County when you call.

Coverage

We accept Maryland Medicaid; Carelon Behavioral Health manages Medicaid mental health care and our office requests approvals. For other insurance we check coverage before your first visit.
