Advanced Behavioral Health, Inc. (ABH) has expanded its mental health services to Washington County with the opening of a new outpatient office in Hagerstown. The location, which began seeing patients on September 1, 2026, marks the organization's entry into the county and brings its comprehensive care model to a new community.
The new office is situated at 265 Mill Street, Suite 800, Hagerstown, MD 21740, and offers a range of services including onsite and offsite individual and family therapy, school-based therapy, telehealth counseling, and psychiatric evaluation and medication management. Patients and referring providers can reach the office at 301.345.1022.
This expansion is part of ABH's ongoing commitment to serving Maryland clients where they are. With the addition of Washington County, ABH now operates in six counties: Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Montgomery, Prince George's, and Washington. The organization provides services to individuals, youth, and families, ensuring that residents of Washington County receive the same standard of clinical care available at its other locations.
Vera Kurdian, CEO of ABH, emphasized the importance of the expansion in a press release. "Serving families and supporting communities one individual at a time is what we do best," she said. "This expansion allows us to build a collaborative partnership in Washington County, where families can expect high-quality and timely mental health and psychiatric services. This expansion also provides job opportunities for mental health professionals, from an organization as committed to its employees as it is to its patients."
The new Hagerstown office is expected to create employment opportunities for mental health professionals in the area, aligning with ABH's recognition as a Top Workplace in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The organization's commitment to its employees is a key factor in its ability to deliver quality care.
ABH also plans to introduce its Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) to the Hagerstown office once Maryland's PRP moratorium lifts, anticipated in 2027. This program would further expand the continuum of care available to Washington County residents, offering additional support for individuals with serious mental illness.
The expansion addresses a critical need for accessible mental health services in Washington County. By offering a variety of treatment options, including telehealth, ABH aims to reduce barriers to care, such as transportation and scheduling conflicts. The organization accepts major insurance, Medicaid, and maintains a discounted fee program to ensure that no individual is denied access to care due to inability to pay, with eligibility requirements applying.

Its services include individual and group therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, telehealth, youth therapeutic mentoring, and community schools programming. The organization is dedicated to clinical excellence, cultural competency, and expanding access to behavioral health services throughout the state.
