Dr. Oretha Sogbie

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bel Air, MD


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

Hi, I'm glad you're here!

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, carrying the weight of past experiences, navigating family conflict, grieving a loss, or adjusting to a major life change, you don't have to face it alone. Life can be incredibly challenging, and sometimes it's hard to know where to begin. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, helping people find clarity, healing, and hope through life's most difficult seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported from the very first conversation.

My professional background includes clinical social work, pediatric healthcare, telehealth therapy, military-connected family support, domestic violence advocacy, and social work education. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in pediatric respiratory care with medically complex children and their families, an experience that continues to shape my understanding of caregiving, medical stress, grief, resilience, and the many ways families adapt during difficult times. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, family conflict, caregiver stress, medical and pediatric illness-related challenges, military family concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

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.

  • 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.
