About Bright Horizons Psychiatry

Bright Horizons Psychiatry is a psychiatry clinic based in Rockville, Maryland. It is led by Dr. Amir Etesam, a board-certified psychiatrist trained at Johns Hopkins and certified in TMS therapy by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Etesam and his team, which includes psychiatric nurse practitioners, neuromodulation specialists, and mental health coordinators, emphasize a compassionate and evidence-based approach to psychiatric care.
The clinic provides care to adults dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, and adult ADHD. Their services include medication management, which involves careful evaluation and prescription of appropriate medications such as SSRIs, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and non-stimulants. For treatment-resistant conditions, they offer options like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), intramuscular ketamine injections, and Spravato (intranasal esketamine). Bright Horizons also provides neuropsychological testing for adult ADHD, and telepsychiatry services, making care accessible remotely for patients throughout Maryland.
Bright Horizons Psychiatry does not require a referral and emphasizes the importance of accessible and response care. They accept a range of insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and accommodate both in-network and out-of-network patients. Their office is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bright Horizons Psychiatry accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (244) 599-1001 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other MD centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Bright Horizons Psychiatry offer?

Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at Bright Horizons Psychiatry?
Call the facility directly at (244) 599-1001 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
