The Maia Institute, a mental and behavioral healthcare center headquartered in the DC Metro Area, is focused on the provision of comprehensive, high-end, evidence-based, best practices subspecialized patient care, expert consultation services, and the development of tools that support efficient and advanced medical practice. Maia is unique in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for the scope of expert services offered by its multidisciplinary team of professionals: a group of board-certified physicians, each with at least one psychiatric sub-specialty, psychologists, and social workers serving patients who require the most critical, intensive, and sophisticated mental health interventions.
The concept of the Maia Institute was conceived following years of experience in psychiatric practice, which yielded an amalgamated vision of what psychiatric care could be, as opposed to where it stands today. The Institute was borne out of a drive to pursue a different model of providing care at a level of excellence, to provide appropriate access to specialists, and to occupy a position as a national think tank for the progress of the mental health field.
The Institute is located in the heart of Alexandria, at 2050 Ballenger Ave., Alexandria, VA 22314, right across from the Federal Courthouse, and within walking distance from the King St. Metro Station.
History
The Maia Institute was opened in August, 2014 by a team of professionals who possess not only a high degree of preparation and knowledge, but who also have the mission, the desire, and the ability to tailor to very specific populations and their needs through distinctive services not currently offered elsewhere at an institutional level within the DC metro area.
