Oluseyi Agbaje

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


As a Psychiatrist mental health nurse practitioner with over 22 years in nursing practice, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and psychiatric care. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using the latest research and clinical guidelines. Your treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, would be based on my professional expertise and designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your patient's well-being.

My identity as a spirit-filled Christian means that my faith is a core part of who I am. My faith often includes a belief in the power of prayer, spiritual guidance, and a holistic view of health that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. This translates into a deep sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach, seeing each person as a valuable individual created in God's image.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Washington

Finding the right psychiatrist in Washington starts with knowing what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and other forms of support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner may be a good fit. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach so you can find someone whose experience matches your needs.

In a major metro area like Washington, the number of psychiatry options can make the search harder to narrow. You may want a psychiatrist with an office near Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Adams Morgan, or a Metro-accessible location, or you may prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each profile to understand appointment availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Washington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
