DC PSYCHIATRIST

DC Psychiatrist for High-Achieving Black Women

 

In Washington, DC, many Black women move with precision, impact, and intention. They hold space in courtrooms, boardrooms, and briefing rooms—often without missing a beat. But high functioning is not the same as well-being. At this level, the question isn’t whether you’re managing. It’s whether your mental wellness is receiving the same care you extend to everything—and everyone—else. Even the most accomplished need space to exhale, and that’s where the right DC psychiatrist can make all the difference.

Dr. Iman Hypolite offers care that meets you where you are—with discernment, depth, and a profound respect for who you are.
