Daniel Ebert, MD

Louis Kopolow, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 25 years of experience helping patients understand the connection between emotional challenges and the body’s role in mental health. He believes that anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and other struggles are not simply problems of the mind, but experiences influenced by the whole person. His holistic approach considers the body, mind, spirit, life experiences, and social well-being to uncover meaningful paths toward healing and growth.

Dr. Kopolow believes successful treatment begins with partnership, trust, and a willingness to explore change. His style is active, collaborative, and solution-focused. He works with patients using a range of approaches, including psychotherapy, EMDR, hypnosis, and medication monitoring, while recognizing that each person’s journey requires an individualized plan. Together, patients and Dr. Kopolow identify what is not working and develop strategies to help create a more fulfilling life.

Dr. Kopolow begins treatment by building a foundation of understanding and trust. The first session focuses on getting to know each other, the second involves establishing goals and a treatment timeline, and the third focuses on determining the best treatment approach and measuring progress. He views treatment as a collaborative process that may include lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, and medication when needed.

Dr. Bernetski begins by reviewing a patient’s concerns along with their medical and mental health history.

He then provides a concise assessment and discusses both psychotherapy and medication options, including benefits and drawbacks, so patients can make informed decisions about their care.

I am passionate about caring for adults, children, and families. I believe compassionate, evidence-based, multidisciplinary care is essential to healing.

I create a welcoming and supportive environment where patients feel heard and understood.

Whether the treatment path includes therapy, medication, integrative approaches, or a combination, I ensure that the plan reflects the patient's needs and goals. I take a thorough and holistic approach to care, spending time understanding each patient's history and past treatments — what has or hasn't worked — and listening carefully to their current concerns and future goals. By factoring in lifestyle and preferences, I work with patients to build thoughtful, individualized treatment plans.

‍

I emphasize the importance of truly listening, so patients feel seen and heard. I work collaboratively with my patients to identify their main concerns and to build a treatment plan that feels right for them. I believe treatment should be a shared process in which the patient is empowered and supported in their mental health journey. Taking a "less is more" approach to medication, I focus on minimizing prescriptions while still addressing all of a patient's needs. My goal is to help patients eventually rely more on therapeutic skills than medication. I view treatment as a partnership, balancing my expertise in psychiatry with each patient's lived experience.

I speak English and conversational Romanian.

I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to create a personalized treatment plan aligned with the patient's goals. I use evidence-based medication management and offer supportive psychotherapy and psychoeducation to empower patients throughout their treatment journey.

I place a strong emphasis on establishing meaningful relationships with my patients and supporting them in achieving their individual life goals through effective treatment. I actively incorporate patient preferences into all treatment plans and integrate psychotherapy with medication management. I recognize the importance of educating patients about their care and dedicate time during each appointment to address any questions or concerns they may have.

In my clinical practice, I begin by facilitating an open dialogue with patients regarding their primary concerns for the appointment. During initial consultations, I conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes gathering relevant medical, familial, and social histories that may influence the course of treatment. In subsequent appointments, I engage patients by inquiring about developments that have occurred since their last visit, as well as any issues related to medications or significant life events.

I am an active member of the Black Psychiatrists of America, where I advance advocacy and equity in mental health care.

I practice psychiatry through a collaborative, integrative, disability and healing justice-informed lens. I reject oversimplified binaries, recognizing that healing requires embracing complexity. My approach integrates psychiatric and psychotherapeutic practices with complementary, alternative, and natural therapies, as well as harm reduction. My approach is neurodivergence-, queer-, and gender-affirming as well as trauma-informed. Rejecting the binary of "mentally ill" vs. "mentally healthy," I recognize the mind, body, and soul's inherent complexity. My clinical interests include anxiety, OCD, women's reproductive mental health, climate stress, intergenerational trauma, immigrant and refugee mental health, and substance use concerns.

I provide a healing space that prioritizes each service user's goals and lived experiences, and I tailor care to each service user. The first session explores goals, treatment options, and optimal meeting frequency. In many cases, visits are more frequent at the beginning of treatment and spaced out over time. I prefer visits at least every 4–6 weeks and integrate psychotherapy into all treatment plans, with many service users benefiting from ongoing deeper therapeutic work.

My training includes Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and a global mental health fellowship at UCSF.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist.

Following a post-baccalaureate, pre-medical program at Columbia University, I completed medical school at The University of Maryland, followed by a psychiatry residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. While at Johns Hopkins, I mastered clinical assessment and treatment of general psychiatric problems.

This zeal for education and mentorship, as well as humility, personal growth, and learning, translates directly into my philosophy for patient care.

I approach medication management with an emphasis on shared decision-making within safe, effective options, thorough counseling about what to expect in treatment, and giving attention to the concurrent use of non-medication modalities of treatment alongside optimizing medication.

I specialize in the treatment of children with Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, and Pervasive Developmental Disorders, and I have an extensive history of providing care for both the adult and child population.

I am board-certified in General Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I hold a bachelor's degree in Chemistry Pre-med from Florida A & M University and a Medical Degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine. I completed both my residency in General Psychiatry and Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Virginia.

I have over 20 years of experience practicing medicine in outpatient, acute, and residential settings. I formally served as Chief of Behavioral Health Services at Ft. Eustis, Virginia. I have previously provided acute care and residential treatment at Newport News Behavioral Health Center, outpatient services in the community, and the foster care system. I have recently served as medical director of Harbor Point Behavioral Health Center.

I take a comprehensive approach to patient care, integrating biological, psychological, and environmental factors into treatment planning. I focus on developing a meaningful therapeutic relationship and providing medication interventions for specific treatment goals. I provide interpersonal psychotherapy in conjunction with medication management services. I have a special interest in the treatment of multiple mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and OCD. I treat adults ages 18 to 65 years old.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in adult psychiatry and have been practicing for over 11 years. I completed my undergraduate education at Virginia Tech, graduating Cum Laude with degrees in Biology and Chemistry. Following graduation, I attended a research internship at the National Institutes of Health, where I received a Post-baccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award. I completed my medical degree from the Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA, and my General Psychiatry Residency at Georgetown University, where I served as Chief Resident. After residency, I entered private practice in McLean, VA.

I employ a collaborative, patient-centered approach, tailoring treatment plans to meet each individual's specific needs. My practice integrates pharmacotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and supportive therapy as needed. I specialize in treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, neuropsychiatric disorders, developmental disorders, and personality disorders. My philosophy is to provide personalized care that makes a meaningful impact at different stages of a patient's life.

I am board-certified in Psychiatry and completed my psychiatry residency training at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. With over 14 years of experience, I have worked in a variety of settings, including five years in inpatient psychiatry in Vermont, where I served as Medical Director for a state hospital psychiatric unit and taught medical students. I then spent five years working in an outpatient community mental health center in Pennsylvania before transitioning to telepsychiatry, providing care to individuals in Pennsylvania, Florida, and New York.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation focused on understanding their mental health concerns, history, and treatment goals. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach, working closely with patients to create individualized treatment plans, ensuring that each patient receives a balanced and effective combination of medication management and therapeutic interventions suited to their unique needs.

I have years of experience treating depression, anxiety and panic attacks, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and OCD. Most recently, I worked for Life Stance Health, an outpatient telehealth company, where I treated patients between the ages of 18–65 with both medication management and therapeutic interventions.
