Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Bethesda, MD covered by Aetna

Hi! I'm Tammy Christman, LPC and I look forward to meeting with you while supporting your journey toward better mental health and healing.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, kids, couples, and families. I graduated with my MSW in 2016 and then lived in El Salvador for 20 months providing individual and group therapy as well as researching interventions with teens. Since returning to the USA, I have worked with teens in shelters, schools, and a PTSD focused clinic while maintaining a private practice working with adults, teens, and couples. Common areas of treatment are depression, anxiety, anger/self-regulation, PTSD, adjustment, relationship struggles, family issues, and many more.

PLEASE NOTE: Payment options are limited to Aetna insurance in FL, NY, MD, TX and Self-Pay in 42 States.

You’re juggling a lot—and it’s okay if your brain isn’t cooperating. Between high-stakes exams, lab reports, job applications, and the pressure to maintain a social life, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly underwater. When procrastination kicks in, your mind races at 2:00 AM, and campus services have a month-long waitlist, the stress can feel insurmountable.

I provide specialized online psychiatric care specifically for college and graduate students navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I understand the unique rhythm of academic life. My practice is designed to fit into your schedule, offering secure video visits you can join from your dorm, your apartment, or even your car between classes.

I am licensed to serve clients across Maryland. To make your life easier, I offer simple online scheduling, streamlined prescription refills, and consistent follow-up care.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) who works with adults seeking individual therapy. I provide teletherapy to those residing in the state of Maryland.

People I work with may be struggling with new life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, etc. Clients from all cultural, gender, sexual, socioeconomic, religious, or spiritual backgrounds are welcome.

When navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, or trauma, it is easy to assume that something is fundamentally wrong with you. If you are struggling with low self-concept, anger, or substance usage, you might view these obstacles as personal failures. My goal is to completely shift that narrative. Together, we will look at what is going on with you, rather than what is wrong with you.

Since 1993, I have spent over 30 years helping individuals recognize their innate strengths and leverage them to overcome life’s hardest hurdles. Throughout my career, I have developed deep clinical expertise, obtaining specific, formal certifications across multiple states to ensure you receive highly credentialed and adaptive care.

Taking that first step to reach out for support can feel intimidating. Because of this, our introductory session is designed to be a safe, collaborative space. We will explore what is currently going well, examine the challenges you are experiencing, and align on your expectations for therapy. My primary objective is to establish an empowering professional relationship built entirely on your strengths.
