Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our FMHW Open House!

We were so grateful to welcome colleagues, community partners, providers, friends, and neighbors into our space and share more about the work we’re doing at Fairfax Mental Health & Wellness.

We were especially excited to introduce FMHW Interventional Psychiatry and share more about the continued expansion of our services, including TMS and Spravato treatment. These programs represent an important step forward in our commitment to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care for patients who need additional options and support.

A very special shoutout to our incredible administrative team, who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the event happen. Their organization, attention to detail, and care made the entire evening feel welcoming and seamless.

Thank you again to everyone who stopped by, connected, and celebrated with us. We’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built and excited for what’s ahead.

We’re excited to share some wonderful news ✨

Fairfax Mental Health & Wellness is proud to announce the opening of our new space dedicated to our SPRAVATO® treatment program.

This thoughtfully designed suite was created with our patients’ comfort, privacy, and overall experience in mind. The space offers a cozy, modern, and calming environment to support patients throughout their treatment journey.

We’re especially grateful to Jenny from The Nest Egg for helping bring this vision to life with such warmth, care, and elegance.

At FMHW, we remain committed to providing compassionate, personalized care in spaces that truly support healing and well-being. We look forward to welcoming patients into this new space soon.

We’re grateful to share that our upcoming Supporting Your Child with Anxiety parent group is now full.

Thank you to the families who registered and to everyone who helped spread the word. This response reinforces how important it is to create practical, supportive spaces for parents who are helping their children navigate anxiety.

For those who were interested but unable to join this round, we plan to offer additional parent support opportunities in the future.

Stay tuned — and thank you for continuing to trust Fairfax Mental Health & Wellness as a resource for families in our community.

Today is National Administrative Professionals Day, and we’re celebrating a group that brings so much to our office every single day.

Yes—they keep everything running smoothly.
Yes—they support our patients with care, patience, and attention to detail.

But just as important… they bring the energy.

The laughter you hear in the hallways. The warmth patients feel the moment they walk in. The sense that this is a place where people genuinely care.

That kind of presence makes a bigger difference than most people realize—and we feel it every day.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything they do and everything they bring to our team 💙

We’re expanding depression care at Fairfax Mental Health & Wellness.

We’re proud to introduce Spravato® (esketamine)—an FDA-approved treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression.

Unlike traditional antidepressants, Spravato works differently in the brain and may help some patients experience improvement more quickly. Treatment is provided in-office under the careful supervision of our clinical team.

Each session takes place in a private, thoughtfully designed treatment room—offering a calm, comfortable environment so patients can fully focus on their care.

At FMHW, we believe advanced treatment options should be delivered with both clinical excellence and an exceptional patient experience.

If you or someone you know may be a candidate, we’re here to help guide next steps.
