Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Upper Marlboro, MD
I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal. I embrace opportunities to help my patients gain greater personal insight, because when you can see yourself, you can change yourself.

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 Psychiatrist in Lanham, MD
Finding the right psychiatrist in Lanham starts with understanding what kind of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and other forms of support. Both can be helpful, depending on your needs. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and care approach before booking.
Lanham is a smaller local market, so the number of nearby psychiatry offices may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a psychiatrist licensed in Maryland. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. 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. Reading bios can help you see how each psychiatrist structures appointments and communicates about care.
Psychiatric care in Lanham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find psychiatrists who take your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you are 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.
