WHAT WE DO TOGETHER
Looking for “a psychiatrist near me” can be difficult. Herbert Psychiatry, LLC is local for Loudoun and Fairfax counties in Northern Virginia. But our goal is to be more than just close by and accessible.
Whether you need a board-certified psychiatrist for psychiatric medicine appointments, or for psychotherapy sessions, know that our patients receive individualized and comprehensive mental health treatment. Dr. Mariel Herbert uses her medical and psychological expertise in every appointment.
Dr. Herbert values a good fit and a strong doctor-patient relationship. And she does not artificially separate follow-up appointments into “medication management” or “therapy.”
You are a whole person, and you deserve to work with a doctor who practices whole psychiatry.
WHO WE ARE
Herbert Psychiatry is an outpatient psychiatry practice dedicated to medical and mental health care for adults.
We are:
- culturally sensitive.
- trauma informed.
- neurodiversity friendly.
- identity affirming.
Dr. Herbert believes in the science and art of medicine–and she might be a good fit for you if:
- Past mental health experiences or medical appointments seemed too short or superficial.
- You want to work on your psychiatric, therapy, and wellness treatments with one person.
- You need a doctor who validates you, a doctor who cares about who you are and what is important to you.
- You require flexibility: both in-person appointments (Wednesdays) and virtual appointments the rest of the week, evenings, and weekends.
- You prefer a collaborative approach that is warm and practical.
HOW WE BEGIN
1. The first few appointments help us understand our struggles. The consultation phase starts with the therapeutic alliance and a workable treatment plan for psychiatric medicine and individual psychotherapy.
2. Psychotherapy (therapy) is more than just venting or validation. Therapy offers a framework for knowing ourselves and how to work through our difficulties. Therapy connects the past to the present, so we can successfully move forward.
3. We all have psychological tools that we use to survive. And our skills help us live meaningful lives. No matter where we are—or how old we are—we can reassess our skills and learn healthier ways of being in the world.
Individual Psychotherapy
Therapy is part of general psychiatric treatment and can augment a psychiatric medication plan. However, everyone is different and has different needs. Dr. Herbert will work with you to develop a therapy treatment plan that is tailored to what you need. Psychotherapy can be short- or long-term and be focused or more general.
Psychiatric Medicine
Psychiatry integrates physical health with mental and emotional wellness. It is a branch of medicine that considers the causes of our symptoms, with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. These causes can be biological, psychological, and interpersonal or relational.
Our life experiences shape who we are. These experiences impact our physical and psychological health. Medical interventions may include working on overall health, sleep quality, activity level, and nutrition, as well as using psychiatric medications and psychotherapy.
