HOW WE STARTED
Serene Wellness Psychiatry emerged from a pressing need to extend the reach of mental health care in Maryland, particularly to individuals in rural and underserved areas where services are limited. Our practice represents a collective vision of compassionate professionals dedicated to dissolving the barriers that prevent access to quality psychiatric care across the state.
