At The Respire Center, every service is built around you, not a checklist.
We provide in-depth and unhurried psychiatric evaluations and take the time to listen and truly understand each person, offering children, teens, and adults real clarity. We prescribe with purpose. Medication is one carefully considered tool within a broader holistic plan, not the entire treatment.
The Ready Mind program helps college students navigating ADHD, learning differences, or mental health needs to thrive, prepared and ready to succeed before the pressure hits.
Our Collaborative & Integrative Care approach keeps your entire team (therapists, specialists, primary care providers, schools, and family) connected as we believe in a multi-disciplinary team approach. Secure HIPAA-compliant Telehealth is available across DC, MD & VA.
The easiest way to get started is to reach out through our contact form or call us at (301) 479-6966. We will follow up to learn a little about what brings you in and schedule your first appointment at a time that works for you.
We offer in-person appointments in Bethesda, Maryland, and secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth visits for patients located anywhere in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. The Respire Center requires patients to be seen in-person at least once a year.
The Respire Center cares for children, adolescents, and adults aged 6-60 years. Karen Hennessy is a dual board-certified as both a pediatric/adolescent nurse practitioner and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, which allows her to care for patients across the lifespan who are seeking answers.
The Respire Center is an out-of-network practice and does not accept insurance directly. Many clients receive partial reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. Payment is due at the time of service, and you will receive a superbill after each visit that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
