Great to meet you! My name is Stella, and I provide both medication management and individual therapy using CBT to support people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, PTSD, anger, and stress. I work with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, and my goal is to help you feel more balanced, in control, and supported.
I’ve spent the last 16 years working in an inpatient psychiatric setting, which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health challenges can impact daily life. I’ve worked with people at all stages of their journey, and I bring that experience into a space that feels warm, open-minded, and solution-oriented.
I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.

Isabella Ngedzeyeem
Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
I am an experienced and passionate care provider focused on providing personalized care for my clients. Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC Certification since 2022.
My goal is to improve the health outcomes of patients through a holistic care approach. I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of clients with psychological health needs.
If you've been working, parenting, caring for others, and meeting your responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, you're not alone.
I'm Dr. Oretha Sogbie-Berko, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 19 years of healthcare experience. I work primarily with adults who appear to be functioning well but no longer feel like themselves. Behind the scenes, they may be managing anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, or a difficult life transition.
I offer both individual therapy and psychiatric medication management. Some clients choose therapy alone, others benefit from medication, and many find that a combination works best. If you'd prefer to start without medication, that's a completely valid place to begin.
I'll offer clinical guidance and honest feedback, but you'll always have a voice in your care. You don't need to know whether you need therapy, medication, or both before reaching out. We can evaluate your concerns, discuss your options, and decide together.
If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to help

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Bethesda, MD
Finding psychiatrists in Bethesda starts with understanding the type of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication; therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and making a plan for follow-up visits. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related concerns. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
Bethesda has a focused local mental health care market, so nearby in-person appointments may be limited depending on your schedule and preferences. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options across Maryland while still giving you access to care from home. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for availability, session format, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Bethesda 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person availability when offered. You can browse profiles, compare fit, 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.
