Our Team Of Clinical Specialists
At The Arbit Center for Mental Health and The Arbit ADHD Center, we are a women-owned and women-led practice, built on a foundation of expertise, compassion, and evidence-based care. Since 2016, our highly trained team of clinicians, educators, a reproductive psychiatrist, and Dr. Hite, who specializes in neurodevelopmental disorders and offers psychological evaluations at The Arbit ADHD Center, has been dedicated to providing exceptional mental health support.
We believe mental health care should be accessible, inclusive, and affirming for everyone. Our team is a dynamic blend of award-winning authors, presenters, and researchers, bringing forth a wealth of experience to foster mental health in our community. We uphold a standard of high-quality service, leveraging the latest evidence-based treatments to help individuals reach their fullest potential.
While we are rooted in the heart of the DMV, we also proudly serve clients in New York, California, and Utah, offering care that is warm, welcoming, and grounded in expertise via telehealth.
