I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 10 years of experience caring for individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. Much of my career has been spent in inpatient psychiatry and psychiatric emergency services, where I have supported people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care while helping clients navigate complex emotional and mental health concerns. I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, ADHD, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to work alongside you to develop a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and helps you move toward lasting wellness.
I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.
In my practice, I specialize in:
- Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
- Integrated mental health treatment
- Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
- Care for underserved and marginalized populations
My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.
Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in New Market, MD
Finding psychiatrists in New Market starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Both therapy and psychiatry can be useful entry points, depending on what you want support with, so it helps to look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match your needs.
In a smaller community like New Market, local psychiatrist availability may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists who fit your schedule and preferences. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their clinical focus, communication style, appointment format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in New Market 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, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has availability that works for you.
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.
