Concierge Care
at Hope+Wellness

here by your side

Some clients who reach out to us are looking for a greater degree of access to services compared to other clients for a variety of reasons. We thus offer Concierge Care as an additional tier of service to meet these needs. This service is inspired by the Concierge Medicine departments at leading institutions including Johns Hopkins Hospital and INOVA Hospital.

Our Concierge practice provides a range of services, including child psychology, neuropsychology, and couples therapy.

How does Concierge Psychology work?

Concierge Psychology is like having an exceptional psychologist on retainer, with on-demand help and guidance whenever you need it. The number of patients in our concierge psychology practice is limited, so each one gets the time and attention they deserve; your psychologist is also able to spend time outside of your sessions reflecting on what your needs and staying up to date with the field or contributing to its advancement, enabling us to bring the highest quality of care to you.

Same or next-day appointments as well as extended visits are available. Your psychologist is also directly reachable on a highly responsive basis without the need to go through a front desk or call center. You will develop a close relationship with your dedicated concierge psychologist and enjoy therapy to fit your mental health, work, and lifestyle needs.

If you are interested in our concierge level services, please reach out to us directly at concierge@hope-wellness.com or complete our contact form, marking your interest in Concierge Services — we’re happy to help.
