Top psychiatrists in Upper Marlboro, MD accepting new patients
Seeking mental health support in Upper Marlboro? Headway serves communities throughout Largo, Bowie, and Mitchellville with 705 licensed providers. Experience flexible scheduling, insurance coverage, and talk therapy or medication management options tailored to your unique needs.
I specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Panic disorder and mood disorders. I also offer ADHD testing for children and adults online and in-person. I offer both medication management and therapy.
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.
Hi, I’m Dr. Albert Dzati, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I help people of all ages — kids, teens, adults, and seniors — find real support, real understanding, and real progress with their mental health.
I treat a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, sleep issues, and substance use. No matter what you’re dealing with, I want you to feel comfortable opening up and knowing that you’re not facing it alone.
Hi there, I’m Elizabeth, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than five years of experience supporting adults 18 and older. I went into psychiatry because I saw how deeply mental health and overall health are connected, and I knew I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater wellness.
Hello, I’m Kelly Huggins!
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 30 years of nursing experience.
Because the world of mental health acronyms can be confusing, I like to be clear about my role: I am a specialized advanced practice nurse, not a traditional talk therapist. My primary focus is on medical and diagnostic care, featuring carefully tailored medication management. However, I firmly believe that medicine is only part of the puzzle. That is why supportive psychotherapy is deeply woven into our sessions together, alongside guidance on lifestyle changes to support your daily wellness. If you ever need deep, ongoing traditional therapy, I am always happy to connect you with trusted therapists to round out your care team.
When I’m not partnering with patients, I love being a mom, a wife, and an avid traveler exploring the world!

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 Psychiatrist in Upper Marlboro, MD
Finding psychiatrists in Upper Marlboro starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Upper Marlboro is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Largo, Bowie, and Mitchellville. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose care that fits your schedule. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Upper Marlboro 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 find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verifies your benefits, and shows an estimated cost before you book. 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.
