Meet Dr.Koskinen

I am a psychiatrist providing telepsychiatry services to residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area. I offer insight-oriented long-term therapy, solution-focused short-term therapy, and medication management when indicated, all tailored to meet your individual needs. 

My goal is to foster relational healing by understanding and valuing each individual's unique background and experiences, ensuring they feel heard, understood, and supported in their journey toward improved mental health and meaningful self-discovery. I believe that expanding the understanding of our experiences through attuned dialogue in a nurturing, safe space can unlock new pathways for growth and healing.

In addition to my medical and psychiatric training and work experience in both Europe and the US, I have actively participated in numerous community projects worldwide, including in Bangladesh, Nepal and the Middle East. I serve patients in multiple languages, including English, Finnish, Swedish and French, and aim to offer culturally sensitive treatment. My approach is grounded in genuine curiosity about your cultural background and how it has influenced your identity and life experiences.

I warmly welcome you to reach out to me so we can explore how I might be of service to you during this time. Please contact me at 703-951-3771 or via email at dr.koskinen@kristakoskinenmd.com.  I am looking forward to hearing from you.
