I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.

I am a licensed Social Worker with more than 25 years experience working in the field of Mental Health. I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a particular emphasis on crisis intervention and the impact of mental illness on the family system. My experiences have included assisting clients learn to manage mood disorders and anxiety and learn skills related to anger management, healthy relationships, parenting and boundary setting. I have extensive experience assisting individuals within the correctional system with learning skills needed for successful reentry into the community.

I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Fobella Nzobella, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping individuals achieve improved mental health, emotional well-being, and recovery from substance use disorders through compassionate, evidence-based care.

I earned my advanced nursing degrees and completed specialized training in psychiatry, allowing me to provide comprehensive care that addresses both mental and physical health needs. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan in outpatient clinics, residential programs, and substance use treatment programs.

My areas of specialization include:

• Depression and mood disorders
• Anxiety disorders and stress-related conditions
• Bipolar disorder
• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Trauma-related disorders and PTSD
• Substance Use Disorders (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, and nicotine)
• Medication management
• Relapse prevention and recovery support
• Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

I believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, focusing on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to participate in their treatment decisions.

Whether you are seeking help for a mental health concern, recovery from substance use, medication management, or support during a difficult life transition, I am committed to working with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and enhances your quality of life.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, wellness, and lasting recovery.

I am dual-certified in Adult–Gerontology Primary Care and Psychiatric Mental Health, which means I care for both your physical and emotional well-being in one place. Many patients come in feeling like they’ve been passed around between providers—my goal is to simplify that experience and provide clear, coordinated, and comprehensive care.

I take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to every visit. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and make sure you fully understand your health and your options. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating stress or anxiety, dealing with hormonal changes, or working toward weight and wellness goals, we will create a plan that is realistic, personalized, and sustainable.

Through my work at Meldic Health Clinic, I focus on building a space where patients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Your concerns are taken seriously, and your care is never rushed.

My name is Jen, and I am a LCSW-C and Maryland board certified clinical supervisor with over 25 years of experience as a clinician. My clinical experience spans community psychiatric care, inpatient settings, non-traditional healing practices, spiritual exploration, mind body connections, and holistic total whole person healing across all aspects of the human experience. Our work together is to help women recover from mental illness, addiction, and feeling stuck in their lives.

I specialize in a whole-health approach to mental health, drawing on brain energy theory and the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry, recovery, and neuroscience. I work within recovery 12-step frameworks that explore shame and toxic self belief systems. I prefer to work with women who are ready for a real shift in how they think about their health, life, and what it means to be a human living and being. I work with female adults of all backgrounds.

Credentials: LCSW-C, Maryland board certified clinical supervisor.

I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can explore life’s challenges, develop practical coping skills, and create lasting change. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology and use an integrative approach that combines evidence-based therapies with holistic techniques tailored to your unique needs and goals.
