Trauma has a way of staying present.
PTSD Care That Goes at Your Pace
The images that come back without warning, the broken sleep, the sense of being on guard long after the danger has passed. Dr. Hardik Yadav, MD, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, treats PTSD across Maryland by video, at a pace you set, and lets you decide how much to open up and when. Evening and weekend times are open.
Good trauma care lets you set the pace. Dr. Yadav takes the detailed history a real evaluation needs, and he follows your lead on how much to share and when, so a session stays within what you can handle that day. He is non-judgmental about what you have been through and how you have coped with it, and he gets to know you rather than your diagnosis alone. That footing matters with PTSD, where feeling rushed or pushed can set you back before treatment even gets going.
A PTSD Evaluation That Looks at the Whole Picture
PTSD rarely shows up on its own. It often brings low mood, anxiety, trouble sleeping, or drinking and drug use that started as a way to quiet the symptoms. Your initial visit runs a full 60 minutes with Dr. Yadav, who takes a detailed personal and family history and looks at how the trauma is showing up now: the sleep, the hypervigilance, the avoidance, and the depression or anxiety layered on top. When depression or anxiety is part of the picture, he measures it with standard scales such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, so there is a real starting point to track. Naming everything that is going on is what lets the plan fit your situation instead of treating one piece in isolation.
Medication Management, and Honest Referral for Trauma Therapy
Dr. Yadav's role in PTSD care is medication management. Medication can take the edge off the symptoms that make everything else harder: the broken sleep, the constant sense of alarm, and the depression or anxiety that rides along with trauma. He chooses based on your full history and family history, and when it helps to know how your body processes a given medication, he can order genetic testing to guide the choice and cut down on trial and error. For the trauma-focused therapy that does the deeper work of PTSD recovery, he is straight with you about where it fits and refers you to a therapist who does that work, so the medication and the therapy pull in the same direction.
When PTSD Comes With Depression, Anxiety, or Substance Use
A lot of people reach for something to get through the nights and the flashbacks, and over time the drinking or the pills become their own problem sitting on top of the trauma. This is where Dr. Yadav's background fits. He treats depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and addiction, and he is certified in Addiction Medicine by the American Board of Preventive Medicine, so when trauma and substance use are tangled together he can treat both at once, which is usually where the earliest relief comes from. He has handled severe, complex cases through his work in the corrections system, which is part of why he is steady with the heavier, layered situations trauma can create.
PTSD Care From One Psychiatrist, Start to Finish
From your first consult through every follow-up, the same psychiatrist handles your care, so the person adjusting your medication already knows your history and how you responded, from one visit to the next. Dr. Yadav is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with over 15 years of experience, and he holds a Master's in Public Health. He treats adults, and he is comfortable with trauma that comes wrapped up with depression, anxiety, or substance use, which is how PTSD usually presents.
Private PTSD Care From Your Own Space, Across Maryland
For a lot of people with PTSD, a clinical waiting room is its own kind of stress. Every appointment here is a video visit you take from home or wherever you feel safe, anywhere in Maryland, and medication check-ins run about 30 minutes. Evening and weekend times keep care from colliding with your job. Because Ansh Health Associates is private and cash-pay, nothing about your PTSD treatment runs through insurance, so it stays off your insurance record and separate from your employer. The platforms are HIPAA-compliant, and new patients can usually be seen within the same week.
What PTSD Treatment Costs and How Cash-Pay Works
Ansh Health Associates lists its rates before you book. The initial 60-minute evaluation is $350, and each follow-up visit is $200. Because Dr. Yadav's care is cash-pay, you pay at the time of your visit by credit, debit, or HSA/FSA card, and afterward you can request a superbill with the CPT codes already filled in to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. What comes back depends on your plan and carrier. The free 15-minute consult lets you talk through your situation and the cost before you commit to anything.
“Trauma deserves a full, careful history, not a rushed appointment. The details of what you have lived through are what shape the plan, and we move at a pace that feels safe to you.”
Dr. Yadav is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and an Addiction Medicine Specialist (American Board of Preventive Medicine), with an MD, a Master of Public Health, and over 15 years of experience that includes complex cases in the corrections system.
