TMS, Spravato, and Advanced Psychiatry Serving Gaithersburg, MD
Gaithersburg residents looking for advanced psychiatric care can reach our Rockville clinic in about 15 to 20 minutes south on I-270. We specialize in treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, and adult ADHD, and we offer TMS therapy, Spravato, IM ketamine, and medication management under one roof.
Our practice is led by a Johns Hopkins-affiliated psychiatrist, and we accept most major commercial insurance plans along with Medicare and Maryland Medicaid. Our team verifies your coverage and handles prior authorizations before your first visit so you know what’s covered.
Why Gaithersburg Patients Choose Bright Horizons
Most Gaithersburg-area psychiatric practices focus on medication management and standard talk therapy. Far fewer offer TMS, Spravato, and IM ketamine in the same clinic. That gap is what brings Gaithersburg patients to us, especially those who have tried two or more antidepressants without enough relief.
Our clinic is led by Dr. Amir Etesam, a Johns Hopkins-affiliated psychiatrist, alongside two psychiatric nurse practitioners. We focus on adults with treatment-resistant depression and complex mood and anxiety disorders, and we build treatment plans that combine evidence-based medication, neuromodulation when appropriate, and coordination with your existing therapist or primary care doctor.
