Adult ADHD Evaluation and Anxiety Care in Chevy Chase, MD
Chevy Chase adults looking for an ADHD evaluation are often told the wait is months, or that the practice only assesses children. We evaluate and treat adults, take a full history rather than a screener, and keep you with the same clinician at every follow up.
Our practice is led by Dr. Amir Etesam, a Johns Hopkins affiliated psychiatrist, alongside two psychiatric nurse practitioners. We accept most FEHB and federal employee plans alongside major commercial carriers, and we verify your coverage before the first visit.
Care we focus on for Chevy Chase patients
Why Chevy Chase Patients Choose Bright Horizons
Chevy Chase is not short of psychiatrists, and many of our patients here already have one. What brings them to us is usually something specific. An adult ADHD evaluation their current practice does not offer, or a depression that has not moved after two or more medications.
A good share of our Chevy Chase patients arrive by referral from their own psychiatrist rather than instead of one, and we are comfortable with that arrangement. Your medication management can stay where it is while we handle the evaluation or the advanced treatment, and we report back rather than taking over. If you would rather move your whole care to us, that works too.
Advanced options when medication is not enough
We also offer BrainsWay Deep TMS, Spravato, and IM ketamine at our Rockville clinic for adults whose depression or OCD has not responded to medication. These are not first line options and we only raise them after a full evaluation.

Do you accept federal employee health plans?

Who we treat — and who we do not
We are an adult outpatient practice. We do not treat Bipolar I, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, or personality disorders, and we do not offer inpatient care, partial hospitalization, or 24 hour crisis services. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or go to your nearest emergency department. If your needs fall outside our scope, call us anyway and we will point you toward the right program.
