I am currently in-network with some Aetna plans. I am also happy to provide a superbill that can be submitted to insurance for any out-of-network benefits. Email preferred. Hi, I'm Melissa (aka Dr. Shepard)! Since deciding to pursue psychiatry, I've made it my mission to end mental health stigma and make mental health treatment less scary.
I completed medical school at the University of Maryland and psychiatry residency at Johns Hopkins. I have expertise in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), psychotic disorders, women's mental health (including pregnancy), and more.
I know that we can work together to get you feeling better. There is hope, and you are not alone!
