Getting to know Kalkidan Ayalew
If you’ve been experiencing increased stress, whether it manifests as distraction, anxiety, mood swings, or difficulties overcoming challenges you once handled well, I am an experienced psychiatric nurse practitioner ready to understand your unique situation and offer practical solutions.
My journey in healthcare began with valuable experience in various inpatient hospital settings and outpatient clinics, where I developed a deep understanding of diverse patient needs and the intricacies of mental health care.
This foundation has been instrumental in my progression to becoming a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am here to hear your full story and offer help ranging from effective psychotherapy to judicious use of medications.
I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, equipping me with advanced skills in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.
In my practice, empathy and compassion are at the forefront. I believe effective mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all; it’s a journey requiring understanding, patience, and a personalized approach. I am committed to delivering comprehensive care tailored to each individual, whether involving medication management, psychotherapy, or both. I treat conditions from ADHD to a spectrum of anxiety disorders and mood problems. Trauma and autism spectrum are other areas of focus. I stay informed about the latest treatment modalities to provide the highest quality care with current, effective approaches.
My commitment to each patient is unwavering. At our clinic, you will find a safe, welcoming, and professional environment where your mental health and well-being are the top priority. Our team of professionals, with diverse backgrounds, enables us to offer a wide range of treatment solutions under one umbrella.

More information on payments and coverage
I offer a 30-minute virtual initial consultation at a rate of $100, where we can discuss the treatment you're interested in, address any questions you may have, and assess whether my services align with your needs. Moving forward with treatment, my rate is $275 for each 45-minute session.
As for insurance, I am an “out-of-network” provider, do not have contracts with insurance companies, and thus am not a “preferred provider.” Nevertheless, my services are almost always reimbursable. Please check with your insurance company directly to determine your out-of-network benefits.
McLean Counseling Center does not accept reassignment of benefits from any insurance company and does not bill insurance companies directly. However, McLean Counseling Center offers patients assistance with submitting claims to their insurance. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, please inform me during our initial consultation, as I do not participate in these plans, and patients seen at our center cannot submit our receipts for reimbursement. If you have Tricare, McLean Counseling Center is not able to submit claims on your behalf; however, we are able to provide Superbills, so you may submit claims on your own for reimbursement.
