A child psychiatrist evaluates before prescribing and works alongside your child’s therapist, twenty minutes from Clarksville.
Collaborative Counseling Center provides child and adolescent psychiatry to families from Clarksville, MD, at its Columbia office, 8820 Columbia 100 Parkway, Suite 201, Columbia, MD 21045, about a 20 minute drive via Route 108. The practice is led by Dr. Brett Greenberger, a dually board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, supported by additional board certified psychiatrists. Call (443) 546-4000 to schedule an evaluation.
Clarksville sits inside one of the highest performing school districts in Maryland, part of a county that regularly ranks among the wealthiest in the country. That environment produces real benefits, but it also produces real pressure. Children and teens attending Clarksville area schools, including River Hill High School and the elementary and middle schools that feed it, often carry heavy academic and extracurricular loads from a young age. The clinical team sees this pattern regularly: bright kids whose anxiety, perfectionism, or attention difficulties get mistaken for a motivation problem rather than a clinical one.
Every new patient begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, not a prescription. The evaluation reviews current symptoms, developmental and medical history, family history and how the child is functioning at home and at school. From there, the psychiatrist recommends an approach, which may include medication, therapy, further testing, or a combination. Nothing is prescribed before the evaluation is complete.
Collaborative Counseling Center offers ADHD testing and treatment as part of its child psychiatry services. Testing helps distinguish ADHD from anxiety, learning differences or other conditions that can present similarly in a high pressure academic environment, so the treatment plan matches what is actually happening rather than what it looks like from the outside.
Children who need both medication management and therapy receive both from the same practice. The psychiatrist and the child’s therapist communicate directly, and parent coaching is available for families who want additional support outside of the child’s individual sessions.
The Columbia office is about 20 minutes from Clarksville via Route 108. Telehealth follow up visits are available once a child has completed an in person evaluation, which can reduce the number of drives required for ongoing medication management.
Call (443) 546-4000 to request the free matching consultation or to schedule directly. The team can answer questions about insurance, services, directions from Clarksville, and telehealth availability.

I’ve been a patient at Collaborative Counseling Center for nearly a decade, and I truly cannot speak highly enough about the level of care, compassion, and expertise I’ve received, especially from Dr. Greenberger.
No. The office is in Columbia, about a 20 minute drive from Clarksville via Route 108. Telehealth follow ups are available for established patients.
The team treats children, adolescents and adults, led by a dually board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, so a young patient can stay with the same practice into adulthood if needed.
Not necessarily. The first appointment is a thorough evaluation. Medication is only recommended if the evaluation supports it.
Yes. ADHD testing is available as part of the practice’s child psychiatry services, and helps distinguish ADHD from anxiety or other conditions that can look similar.
Yes. The psychiatrist and your child’s therapist work within the same practice and coordinate care directly.
Yes. Performance and school related anxiety is a common reason families in Clarksville area schools seek an evaluation. The evaluation looks at whether it is a clinical anxiety disorder, a response to a specific stressor, or something else.
No. Many families come in without a prior diagnosis. The evaluation is what determines whether a diagnosis is appropriate.
