Telepsychiatry for Virginia Residents — Expert, Physician-Led Care
Access a board-certified psychiatrist from anywhere in Virginia, without a long wait or a large clinic.
Convenient High-Quality Care Across the Commonwealth
Finding a psychiatrist in Virginia — particularly one who is a physician rather than a mid-level provider, and who takes time with patients — is genuinely difficult. Dr. McWilliams holds an active Virginia license and sees patients throughout the Commonwealth via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
His practice is built on a simple premise: every patient deserves direct access to their physician. In Virginia, as in Maryland, that means you work with Dr. McWilliams for every appointment — not a rotating staff, not a care coordinator passing messages between you and a prescriber you rarely see.
The DC metro area doesn’t stop at the Potomac. Many Virginia residents — particularly in Northern Virginia — live and work within the same regional ecosystem as patients in Maryland and DC, yet psychiatric access remains limited. Dr. McWilliams’ Virginia telehealth practice was a natural extension of serving that broader community.
How Telehealth Works
Virginia appointments are conducted entirely online through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a stable internet connection. There is no commute, no waiting room, and no office visit required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you see Virginia patients in person?
Typically not — Virginia patients can be seen entirely via telehealth. Dr. McWilliams’ physical office is in Columbia, MD, but his Virginia license allows him to provide full psychiatric care — including evaluation, diagnosis, therapy, and medication management — to patients anywhere in the Commonwealth via secure video. However, if the desire to travel for an in-person appointment were to arise, it would be a pleasure to meet you face to face.
What areas of Virginia do you serve?
Dr. McWilliams sees patients from across Virginia, including Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Reston, McLean), Richmond, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Charlottesville, Roanoke, and all surrounding areas.
Do you accept Virginia insurance?
Dr. McWilliams is out-of-network with insurance plans. A superbill can be provided for patients who wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement.
What do I need for a virtual appointment?
A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a working camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Your first appointment will include a secure link and instructions for accessing the patient portal.
