Dr. Erik Frost

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Virginia


I'm Dr. Erik Frost, a board-certified psychiatrist with over ten years of experience treating a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and bipolar disorder. I attended medical school at the University of Colorado and psychiatric residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. At my practice, I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management and evidence-based psychotherapy.

It's important to me to work with insurance providers. I work with most insurance providers in the DC, MD and VA area. I use Headway for insurance and billing, but will schedule our visits through a separate platform. For detailed scheduling instructions, please see my website: curatementalhealth.com

My practice is fully virtual. As a result, I do NOT prescribe any "Controlled Substances" which often require an in-person provider. These medications include stimulant medications for ADHD, like Adderall and Ritalin, and benzodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding psychiatrists in Arlington starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may be a good fit for counseling in Arlington, depending on what you want support with. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed training and specialties match those needs.

Arlington has local options near neighborhoods like Ballston, Clarendon, and Crystal City, though appointment times with psychiatrists can vary. Virtual appointments can expand your options if nearby offices or commute times make scheduling harder. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Arlington VA psychiatrists, read bios for details on clinical focus, appointment format, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is available.

Psychiatric care in Arlington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to check which providers are in-network for your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated cost before booking, then review profiles and book directly when you are ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
