Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Bethesda, MD covered by United Healthcare

Hi, I'm David the founder of Oram Psychiatry, a private practice that serves all of New York, DC and Maryland. I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, individualized mental health care and I've been recognized by Todays Nurse as a top provider, which reflects my commitment to excellence in psychiatric care.

I specialize in diagnosing and treating a comprehensive range of psychiatric disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar and depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, dissociative disorders, somatic symptom disorders, feeding and eating disorders, elimination disorders, sleep-wake disorders, sexual dysfunctions, gender dysphoria, disruptive and conduct disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, neurocognitive disorders, personality disorders, paraphilic disorders, and other mental health conditions.

I am passionate about mental health and always finding ways to break stigmas. I love helping my clients tune into their inner wisdom.

I specialize in telehealth (remote counseling) for individuals interested in change. My previous experience includes coordinating a Templeton funded mental health research lab while contributing to existing research projects. Clinically I am trained in Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Jungian, and Transpersonal psychotherapies.

When I was growing up, I always thought I wasn’t dealt a good hand in life. I had family issues that would top any reality tv show to date. I often felt like there was no one I could really open up to and share my inner thoughts and feelings with. I was wearing “masks” before the pandemic, always smiling when deep down I wanted to cry. I tried therapy a couple times and it just didn’t work for me. I felt like I wasn’t understood, that I was being judged. I decided to give it another shot and found my match, a therapist that looked like me, that could relate to me and my struggle. It felt genuine and not forced. That’s what made me want to get into the field of Social Work. Now, with 8 years of professional experience, I live out my purpose every day as a guide to help people unlock the tools of empowerment that they already possess. Whatever the issue, (whether it be getting through everyday life, coming to terms with past traumas, getting over a bad break-up, parenting/abandonment issues, lack of self-esteem, or a host of other problems), my eclectic approach to therapy will allow you to embark on a journey of self-reflection, self-love, and self-care. I look forward to helping you find your inner peace while getting closer to your winning hand in life.

When was the last time you felt truly heard? Life can feel as though you're stuck in a maze without a map or sense of purpose. You may feel broken, alone, or depressed, but you're not. I've successfully helped clients work through challenges, learn effective coping skills, and view life in a realistic, positive way. I've helped clients with chronic illness maximize their quality of life. We'll set up a plan that meets your current needs, then empower you to reach your goals, together.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with training in both primary care and psychiatric mental health. I have extensive experience providing care in community, correctional, and integrated care settings, where I work with individuals managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected. I value thoughtful assessment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making to help clients better understand their symptoms and treatment options. My goal is to partner with each client to develop a personalized care plan that supports both mental and overall well-being.
