Getting mental health support for you and your family shouldn’t come down to what you can afford, but for many families in Prince George’s County, the high cost of mental health services is the greatest barrier to getting help. The good news is that Maryland Medicaid covers mental health services in Maryland. At Synergy Family Services, we have licensed, compassionate, and bilingual providers ready to support you on your journey to better health. This guide walks you through what to look for, what Medicaid covers, and how to take the first steps.

Does Medicaid Cover Therapy in Maryland?

Yes. Maryland Medicaid, administered through the HealthChoice program, covers a wide range of mental health services for eligible individuals and families. This includes:

• Outpatient individual and family therapy

• Child and adolescent psychiatric services

• Psychiatric Rehabilitation Programs (PRP) for individuals with serious mental health needs

• Crisis intervention and case management services

Coverage applies to both children and adults, and enrollment is free or low-cost depending on household income. Accepting Medicaid does not mean accepting lower-quality care; many of Maryland’s best licensed mental health providers accept it, including those here at Synergy Family Services, providing virtual and in-person services to both individuals and families.

What to Look for in a Medicaid - Accepting Mental Health Provider

Not all providers are the same. When searching for a therapist or mental health clinic that accepts Medicaid, here are the key things to look for:

• Licensed and credentialed clinical staff (LCSW, LCPC, LPC, or psychiatrist)

• A range of services — individual therapy, family counseling, and child or adolescent services

• Cultural responsiveness and, where applicable, bilingual staff

• A straightforward intake process without long waitlists or excessive paperwork

• A sliding-scale fee option for services or costs not fully covered by Medicaid

A licensed outpatient mental health center in Maryland must meet state-defined standards for care, staffing, and compliance so you can have confidence in the quality of services you receive.
