Hi, I’m Marli. I’m a licensed social worker in Maryland, Virginia, and DC, and I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults.

Originally from Maryland, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Maryland and my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. Outside of work, I love spending time with my dog, traveling, getting creative through arts and crafts, and being around family and friends.

Lindsay Bitto

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


I’m Lindsay Bitto, a Doctorate-prepared Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in patient care. I am double board-certified in Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, which allows me to take a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare.

With 10 years of specialized experience in adult gastroenterology, I have developed a deep interest in the complex relationship between the brain and gut interaction, particularly how these disorders impact overall health. By blending my expertise in psychiatry and gastroenterology, I can provide integrated care for individuals with complex gastrointestinal and psychiatric conditions. I believe that effective care goes beyond treating symptoms; it’s about understanding the whole person and addressing the root causes of illness.
