Vida Robb

Vida Robb

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


Welcome to a space of care, balance, and renewal. I’m Vida Robb, a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience and a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I specialize in adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia.

My approach is holistic and personalized. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honoring each individual’s unique story, culture, and goals. Whether you’re overcoming obstacles, seeking stability, or striving for growth, I tailor treatment plans to meet your needs and walk with you every step of the way. Patients often describe me as approachable and down-to-earth, and I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of my work, I’m a proud mother of three preteen daughters. Whether we’re biking, roller skating, or exploring new destinations, family life inspires my passion for helping others live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Above all, my goal is to ease the fears or uncertainties you may feel about seeking help. From our first meeting, you’ll be met with compassion, professionalism, and a commitment to your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward healing and a healthier future.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I have over 15 years of experience supporting children, families, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. My approach is holistic and integrative—supporting the mind, body, and spirit by incorporating mental health care, nutrition, movement, and attention to the home environment to promote lasting wellness. I use a solution-focused approach to help clients build on their strengths and create practical, meaningful change, and my certification in Thai massage allows me to bring a unique mind-body perspective to care. I intentionally keep a small caseload so each client receives personalized, thoughtful support.
