Blackbird Health Expands Pediatric Mental Health Services to Burke

The new Burke facility joins existing clinics in Tysons and Centreville, with a fourth location planned for Sterling later this year. By integrating neuropsychological testing, medication management, and executive functioning coaching, the provider seeks to address the fragmented nature of local behavioral healthcare. Dr. Michael Tang, Chief Medical Officer at Blackbird Health, emphasizes that the multidisciplinary team evaluates children holistically to identify co-occurring conditions like ADHD, autism, and anxiety rather than focusing on a single diagnosis.

This expansion arrives as local demand for behavioral health services continues to outpace supply in Fairfax County. CEO Tom Peterson noted that the organization targets regions where families face the longest delays for treatment. By coordinating directly with Fairfax County Public Schools and local pediatricians, the group intends to streamline the path from initial evaluation to ongoing therapy. The company currently operates across the Mid-Atlantic, with plans to extend its virtual-first care model into Maryland in the near future.
