HAGERSTOWN, MD – A new mental health provider, Advanced Behavioral Health (ABH), has officially opened its doors in Hagerstown, Maryland, at 265 Mill Street, Suite 800. This expansion into Washington County aims to address a growing demand for accessible, high-quality behavioral health services in the region. The organization’s decision to establish a presence here was finalized in late 2024.
ABH, a family-centered provider specializing in outpatient care for children and adults, was founded in 2011. Under the daily leadership of Dr. Vera Kurdian, LCSW-C, ABH has expanded to six locations across Maryland. The company offers a comprehensive approach to care that includes psychiatric services, counseling both on-site and off-site, therapeutic mentoring, and medication management. The new Hagerstown office is expected to create between 20 and 30 new jobs in the area.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The organization has been recognized for its supportive and innovative work environment, earning a spot on USA Today’s Top Workplaces list for 2025 and 2026. ABH employs a total of 250 team members across its statewide operations. Furthermore, ABH holds CARF accreditation, signifying adherence to international standards for quality and safety in its services. Among its specialized offerings is the Greater Maryland Youth (GMY) mentoring program, which provides tailored rehabilitation and skill-building activities designed to foster resilience and independence in children and adolescents.
The expansion into Washington County is a strategic move by ABH to meet the increasing need for behavioral health resources. Residents seeking mental health support will now have access to ABH’s range of services, potentially improving the availability and accessibility of care within the community.
