LGBT therapists in Bowie, MD

Hi, I'm Precious! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself while learning practical tools that help you feel better, grow, and move forward.

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.

Many of my clients come to me carrying more than they let on — a child struggling to focus and feeling misunderstood, a parent exhausted from trying to hold everything together, or an adult quietly navigating loss while the world expects them to move on. Whether you're 6 or 76, if life feels heavier than it should, you deserve a space to set it down. For over 15 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, adults, and seniors through anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and the moments that feel impossible to make sense of alone
