Christopher Hoffman(He/Him/His)

Dr. Christopher Hoffman is a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Alignment Psychiatry, a private-pay mental health and performance practice based in Washington, DC. He works primarily with professionals, leaders, and high-achieving individuals who are used to performing at a high level—but may privately feel overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. Many of his clients are navigating anxiety, ADHD, leadership pressure, relationship strain, or major life transitions. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Dr. Hoffman helps people step back and understand the deeper patterns shaping how they think, respond to stress, and make decisions.

His approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and direct. Dr. Hoffman integrates talk therapy, psychiatric expertise, and performance-focused strategies to help clients better understand how their mind works under pressure. Together, they explore ways to improve emotional regulation, sharpen decision-making, and restore a sense of clarity and control. Medication can be helpful for some individuals, but it is never used in isolation. The goal is to develop insight and practical strategies that support both personal well-being and professional effectiveness.

Dr. Hoffman completed medical training at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine, followed by residency in psychiatry and a fellowship in forensic psychiatry, a specialty focused on the intersection of human behavior, decision-making, and the law. This background gives him a unique lens for understanding complex interpersonal dynamics, high-stakes environments, and the psychological pressures that often come with leadership and responsibility.

Through Alignment Psychiatry, Dr. Hoffman provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, therapy integrated with medication management, and mental performance coaching. His practice is private-pay and does not accept insurance, allowing for longer sessions, greater flexibility, and a more personalized treatment experience. He offers both in-person appointments in Washington, DC and secure virtual sessions for clients who prefer remote care.
