Care for Queen Anne’s County families
For Kent Island and Queen Anne’s County families, the Bay Bridge is both the connection and the bottleneck. In the 2025 Mid-Shore needs assessment, one resident said that getting to doctors and specialists means you’re “either put on a waiting list or sent across the bridge.”
Our Bethesda office is about 52–68 miles from Stevensville and nearby towns, so most Queen Anne’s County families see us by telehealth. Therapy and psychiatric visits, including evaluations, can happen from home.
Early childhood services and local needs
For children under 3, the Queen Anne’s County Infants & Toddlers Program takes referrals at 443-262-4456. For ages 3 and up, call Queen Anne’s County Public Schools Child Find at 410-758-2403 x167.
In Queen Anne’s County, about 618 residents share each mental health clinician, compared with about 273 statewide (County Health Rankings 2025). In 2022, 36.7% of Queen Anne’s County high school students said they had felt sad or hopeless for two weeks or more in the past year (Maryland YRBS).
Crossing the Bay
If you commute across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge already, an evening session at our Bethesda office can be part of your trip home. Bridge traffic can be heavy, especially on summer weekends, so leave extra time.
If the bridge is the hard part, telehealth means you don’t have to cross at all.

How care works
We aim to keep you with the same provider throughout your care, and you can ask to switch if the fit isn’t right. You can meet in Bethesda, by telehealth, or a mix of both.
