Dr. Yaejin Park, MD
I strive to provide compassionate and holistic care with the integration of supportive psychotherapy and medication management. My professional interests include treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist at Talkiatry. I received my medical degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency training at Mount Sinai Morningside West.
Find a psychiatrist in Washington, D.C.
Seeing a psychiatrist in Washington, D.C. can mean long waits and a short list of providers taking new patients. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in Washington, D.C. who can see you by video, so you can start care from home instead of sitting on a waitlist. Most people schedule a first visit in days, not months.
How online psychiatry works in Washington, D.C.
You start with a free online assessment that asks about your location, your symptoms, and your history. From there, we match you with a psychiatrist licensed in Washington, D.C., and you meet by secure video from wherever you are in the District. Your psychiatrist has to be licensed where you are during the visit, so being in D.C. is what lets you see one of these providers.
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, which gives you time to talk through what brought you in, ask questions, and start building a plan together. Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes, enough to check how you are doing and adjust your care as needed.
What a psychiatrist in Washington, D.C. can help with
Talkiatry psychiatrists treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and more.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage it over time. Medication is one possible part of a plan, not a guaranteed outcome of a visit. Your psychiatrist listens first, then works with you on an approach that fits your needs. Depending on what you are looking for and what is available, therapy may also be part of that plan.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Washington, D.C.?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers. During your free assessment, we check your coverage before you schedule, so you know where you stand up front. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific plan, so it is worth confirming details like your copay or deductible with your insurer.
Getting mental health care in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. has 10 designated mental health Health Professional Shortage Areas, covering about 126,000 people, and currently none of that psychiatric care need is being met. The federal government estimates that roughly 8 more practitioners would be needed to lift those shortage designations (according to KFF as of 12/31/25).
For you, that shortage often shows up as a long search and a longer wait. Seeing a psychiatrist online helps by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist who can see you from home, rather than limiting you to the providers who happen to have openings nearby.
