Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bethesda, MD

I seek to provide a warm, open environment where all parts of you are welcome. I believe your emotional and psychological safety is my top priority. I seek to make your empowerment my focus and often work from a root-causing healing approach and focus on your innate resilience and build practical coping/calm tools on your journey to healing. We will work as a team to define what healing looks like for you. My mind/body connection approach and evidence based approaches provide you tools to use outside of our sessions.

As a therapist, I have a strong passion for working with pregnancy and the postpartum parent. This includes the whole perinatal period, birth, postpartum, infertility, and loss. In addition to those populations, I have over 12 years of experience working with specializations such as major life transitions, anxiety, adult adhd, depression, PTSD and complex trauma.

If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much on your own, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help you find steadier ground.

I'm Darryl Webster, a licensed therapist with 35 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's heavier seasons—including those caring for someone they love. My approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness—practical, evidence-based tools you can actually use, paired with a warm and unhurried space to be heard.

Together, we'll work at your pace to ease what's overwhelming you and help you move toward greater balance, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Whatever you're facing, healing is possible, and I'd be glad to walk alongside you.
