Nestled in Bethesda, the Washington Center for Women’s and Children’s Wellness (WCWCW) pioneers a comprehensive approach to healthcare. Founded by Dr. Wendy Hookman, WCWCW flourishes with a team of ten dedicated mental health professionals. They unite medication management, psychotherapy, and pioneering parenting strategies to navigate families through every life stage.
WCWCW’s early commitment to specialized care for young individuals confronting ADHD, anxiety, depression, and beyond has set a foundation for enduring well-being. Customized support, including innovative coping and parenting strategies, empowers children, adolescents, and their families to jointly overcome mental health challenges.
Adding to the center's depth, Dr. Alexis Wesley, board-certified in both child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, joined in 2021, reinforcing WCWCW’s commitment to women's mental health and perinatal psychiatry. This dynamic team addresses a spectrum of women's mental health challenges, from mood and anxiety disorders, sexual health, and infertility, to navigating the transitions of perimenopause and menopause.
This spring, WCWCW is thrilled to unveil "Reignite," a transformative initiative designed to enrich relationships and rekindle personal passion for women in midlife and beyond. "Reignite" promises more than guidance through midlife transitions—it's a pathway for women to rediscover themselves and embrace the future with optimism.
Beyond individual treatment plans, WCWCW is devoted to building a community where every woman, child, and teen feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether you're seeking assistance with specific mental health issues or support navigating life's challenges, WCWCW is your beacon of hope and healing.
Let WCWCW illuminate your journey to holistic wellness. Reach out today to explore their services, including the eagerly awaited "Reignite" program, and embark on your path to renewed well-being.
