Tysons, Virginia
Medication Management in Tysons
A hundred thousand people work in Tysons and most commute on the Beltway or Silver Line, sprinting between consulting deadlines and defense contracts. The workday has no slot for a clinic across the county with a three month wait, so the workforce postpones care like a slipping project. That's what unmanaged medication looks like, and it's fixable. shrinkMD delivers real medication stewardship to Tysons: board certified clinicians, measured follow up, and visits that fit your actual schedule.

Why shrinkMD
Care built around Tysons
From the towers to Vienna to Merrifield, visits happen by video from booked conference rooms, apartments, or homes, with follow ups of 15 to 30 minutes that fit a packed Monday.
We bill no insurance, so care exists in no employer adjacent system, with flat published fees and measured progress instead of guesswork.
What's included
Stewardship, visit by visit
Good prescribing is a feedback loop. At each visit your clinician reviews your validated symptom scores, your side effects, and your sleep, then adjusts a single variable so cause and effect stay readable. While starting or changing medication that loop runs every two to four weeks; once you're doing well it relaxes to every one to three months.
Your full trial history, names, doses, durations, responses, lives in your chart from day one, so failed experiments never get repeated. Prescriptions go electronically to your pharmacy, monitoring labs are arranged through your local clinic when a medication requires them, and your primary care doctor stays in the loop with your permission. No controlled substances, stated plainly before you ever book.

Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
Is Big Four burnout treatable or do I just need a new job?
Sometimes both: the evaluation distinguishes burnout from depression and anxiety disorders, which respond to treatment regardless of the job decision.
Do you cover the Silver Line corridor?
Identically: Vienna, Reston, Herndon, Merrifield, and all of Northern Virginia, by video.
How do labs work with a telehealth practice?
We coordinate orders through your local clinic or lab, lithium levels, metabolic panels, thyroid checks, and review results together. Telehealth changes the visit, not the monitoring standard.
Can you take over prescriptions from my previous provider?
Usually yes, for non controlled medications, after an evaluation and records review. Switching shouldn't mean starting over or missing a refill.
Do you prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines?
No, anywhere. We're upfront about it before you book, and skilled with the non controlled options the evidence supports.
