Whitman Walker Health is a long-established health center in Washington, District of Columbia, operating since before 1990, offering care that addresses both mental health and substance use concerns, including support for prescription drug use and eating disorders. It is SAMHSA-listed, a distinction shared by a relatively small number of nearby facilities, and offers services in ASL for people who use sign language.

Treatment approaches include EMDR, one of the less commonly available therapies among comparable facilities in the area, and the center incorporates wellness programming alongside clinical services. It is also one of a limited number of nearby providers listed as accepting Tufts Health Plan, which may be relevant for people seeking care whose insurance options are more limited.
