Malcolm is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with dual board certification in Family Practice. I am a native New Yorker with over 20 years of healthcare experience. Growing up in New York City, I’m comfortable working with diverse populations. I’ve served clients from various religious, socioeconomic, cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds.
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

Frequently asked questions


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 Maryland
Finding psychiatrists in Maryland starts with understanding 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. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Across Maryland, available psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
Your search may look different in Baltimore, Bethesda, Annapolis, or a smaller Maryland community. Some people prefer in-person appointments near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit more easily into a set schedule. Psychiatry appointments for medication management 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, review each psychiatrist’s profile for appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Maryland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your insurance plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your specific location, review bios, 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.
