Here’s what you can expect:
Easy, private video appointments

Ideal for medication check-ins and follow-ups
Whether you’re just getting started or continuing care, telehealth gives you more flexibility—without compromising quality.
What Is Telehealth Psychiatry?
Telehealth psychiatry is mental health care delivered remotely. Instead of visiting our office, you’ll speak to your provider over video in real time. You can still:
Start a new treatment plan
Adjust medications
Ask questions and share concerns
Receive support for ongoing conditions
It’s the same expert care—just more convenient and on your schedule.
Who is it for?
Telehealth is great for adults managing depression, anxiety, OCD, and more—especially if travel, time, or comfort make in-person visits difficult.
About Dr. Amir Etesam, MD
Dr. Amir Etesam, MD, is a Johns Hopkins–trained, Board-Certified, psychiatrist and the founder of Bright Horizons Psychiatry in North Bethesda, Maryland. He is a distinguished member of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), the nation’s most respected medical honor society, recognizing excellence in scholarship and integrity in medicine.
Dr. Etesam’s clinical work is exclusively focused on patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TRD)—those who have not improved despite multiple trials of medication and therapy. His practice centers on advanced neuromodulation therapies, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Intranasal Esketamine (Spravato®), provided in a private, state-of-the-art setting designed for comfort and healing.
He no longer accepts new patients for other psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD.
For patients seeking care for other psychiatric conditions—such as anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and general mood or behavioral concerns—a highly trained team of psychiatric nurse practitioners works side-by-side with, and under the close supervision of Dr. Etesam. This collaborative model ensures that every patient receives the same standard of thoughtful, evidence-based care that defines Bright Horizons Psychiatry.
