Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.

In my practice, I specialize in:

  • Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
  • Integrated mental health treatment
  • Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
  • Care for underserved and marginalized populations

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.

Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Therapist

Even though you may be struggling with something right now, you can choose to see it in a new way... which can lead to changing your relationship to it... which can lead to real transformation. Everything you need is already within you. My role is to help you access it, and use it.

It is hard to be vulnerable in therapy. And while I don't yet know your story, I do know that if you are considering therapy, you are already doing the hard work of introspection. It takes courage to seek out more for yourself. You have my respect and my empathy, and I would love to be part of your journey of healing and discovery.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bethesda, MD

Searching for therapists in Bethesda starts with knowing what kind of support and care may fit your needs. Therapists can support a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience match what you want to address. Profiles may mention approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, which can help you narrow your search.

Bethesda has many nearby care options, but local appointment availability can vary by office location, schedule, and specialty. If you prefer in-person therapy, consider how close an office is to home, work, transit, or nearby areas like Chevy Chase, Woodmont Triangle, or downtown Bethesda. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially if you need more flexibility around appointment times. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on communication style, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Bethesda can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review profiles, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
