What we help with
Comprehensive Psychiatric Care & Medication Management
At Chesapeake Bay Psychiatry, we provide highly personalized, evidence-based psychiatric consultations and long-term medical management for adults navigating a variety of mental health conditions. Because we operate as a private-pay practice, your care is determined entirely by your clinical needs—never by insurance restrictions or delays.
ADHD Diagnosis & Objective Testing
Receiving an accurate ADHD diagnosis as an adult shouldn't rely on guesswork or subjective questionnaires alone. We specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations featuring objective, FDA-cleared ADHD testing. This data-driven approach allows us to measure core symptoms—like hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention—with precision, establishing a clear, scientifically backed baseline for your care.
Once we have a definitive diagnosis, we build a customized medication architecture. Whether that involves prescribing stimulants (such as Adderall), non-stimulant alternatives, or specialized medical management, our goal is to help you achieve sustained focus and improved daily functioning. Because we are a private-pay practice, we have the time to closely monitor your progress, carefully manage potential side effects, and adjust your treatment without the delays of insurance approvals.
Depression & Mood Disorders Management
Living with persistent sadness, emotional fatigue, or major depressive disorder requires a precise, biological approach. We provide specialized care for clinical depression and comprehensive bipolar disorder treatment. Our focus on advanced mood disorders management allows us to find the most effective treatment architecture to stabilize your mood, restore your energy, and help you regain control over your daily life.
Anxiety Disorders
Chronic worry, panic attacks, and social anxiety can severely limit your quality of life. We conduct thorough psychiatric consultations to identify the underlying biological triggers of your anxiety. Through targeted medication management, we work to alleviate your physical and emotional symptoms, providing a supportive environment where you can safely find relief without the pressure of a one-size-fits-all timeline.
Sleep Disturbances & Insomnia
Quality sleep is the foundation of mental wellness, yet it is often the first thing disrupted by stress, anxiety, or mood shifts. We look at sleep concerns not just as a symptom, but as a critical component of your overall health. By addressing insomnia and sleep disruptions through structured psychiatric care, we help restore your natural sleep cycle and improve your daytime cognitive clarity.

Upon request, we can provide you with an itemized invoice (a superbill) that you can independently submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

We specialize strictly in medical psychiatric evaluations, ongoing medication management, and objective, FDA-cleared adult ADHD testing. We also provide dedicated clinical tracks for women’s and perinatal mental health, as well as medical weight management.
