Dr. Christopher J. Hoffman is a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Alignment Psychiatry, a concierge mental health and performance practice based in Washington, D.C. His path to medicine didn’t begin with privilege or certainty—it began with curiosity, grit, and a five-year-old’s belief that saying something hard was worth trying. That early moment sparked a lifelong commitment to growth, discipline, and becoming. Trained across inpatient, emergency, forensic, and outpatient psychiatry—and formerly a U.S. Air Force Medical Director—Dr. Hoffman brings a rare understanding of the human mind under pressure and transition.

At Alignment Psychiatry, Dr. Hoffman works with high-functioning professionals who look successful on the outside but feel misaligned on the inside. His integrative approach blends psychiatry, evidence-based therapy, and performance coaching to help clients rebuild clarity, confidence, and direction. Grounded in the belief that mental health challenges are not personality flaws but signals of misalignment, his work is collaborative, strategic, and deeply personal. His mission is simple and unapologetic: your brain is your best asset—and when it’s aligned, everything else follows.
