Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Humans heal through relationships. Our wounds form in connection, and it's in connection that they're repaired. This is especially true for couples: the patterns that cause pain are often the same patterns that, with the right support, can become a source of deep healing and renewed closeness. Working together means creating a safe space to slow down, understand each other's underlying needs, feeling and sensitivities, and rebuild trust and connection from the ground up.

This process can be challenging and may surprise you, but it often leads to real growth, deeper intimacy, and lasting change that is ultimately liberating.

Destinee Geoghegan

Destinee Geoghegan

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. But everyone is welcome here, if you feel a good vibe and think i'm a good fit for you, reach out, i'd be happy to help.

My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨
