Referrals & Support

At Washington Family Psychiatry, we believe that the best mental health outcomes are achieved through partnership.

We work closely with therapists, counselors, pediatricians, primary care physicians, schools, and community-based programs to provide coordinated, holistic care for individuals and families.

Why Collaboration Matters

Mental health care works best when providers work together. At Washington Family Psychiatry, we’re committed to a model of care that prioritizes coordination, respect, and whole-person support.

Support for Families & Individuals

Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take the time to understand each client’s needs in the context of their full support network — whether that includes a therapist, school counselor, family doctor, or community resource.

If you’re already working with a therapist, we’re happy to join your care team. If you’re not sure where to start, we can help connect you with trusted professionals in our referral network.

We offer:

  • Psychiatric evaluations and second opinions

  • Ongoing medication management

  • Consultations for children, teens, and adults

  • Guidance on navigating community resources and allied services

Therapists & Community Providers

Therapists and counselors are often the cornerstone of a client’s support system. We recognize and respect the important work you do, and we’re here to complement it — not replace it.

Our role is to provide psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management as part of a broader care plan that you continue to lead.

Our approach includes:

  • Streamlined referrals for psychiatric evaluations and medication consultations

  • Open communication to ensure continuity and alignment of care

  • Shared treatment planning with consent, so clients benefit from a unified support system

  • Connections to additional resources, such as neuropsychological testing, school support services, or community-based programs when needed
