My background as a midwife for 22 years has prepared me to support you in your psychiatric journey. Although I specialize in maternal mental health, I enjoy general psychiatry for all genders age 14 and up. My philosophy is to provide integrative holistic psychiatric care that includes lifestyle changes, nutrition and medication. I attended graduate school at Yale School of Nursing and Frontier Nursing University. I am also certified by Postpartum Support International and am a lactation consultant. I am working towards my integrative psychiatry certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.
I have been a Social Worker for almost 10 years and have had a variety of experiences during that time. Most of my work is with children and families. I graduated with my Masters from West Virginia University and have been a Clinical Social Worker since 2023.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

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.

Welcome--I'm glad that you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from the University of Maryland. I specialize in anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, depression, trust issues, self-esteem, life changes and anger management. I approach every client with openness and without judgment, always appreciating their individuality. I believe everyone has their own story, so I listen carefully and reflect thoughtfully. Beyond that, I work to identify practical solutions to help you achieve your goals and enhance your life.
I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care focused on helping you regain stability and move forward with confidence. I earned my MSN from Eastern Kentucky University and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University. With experience in urgent psychiatric care, inpatient psychiatry, and outpatient treatment, I work with you to create a personalized plan that supports healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, disordered eating, substance use, identity and cultural concerns, and moments of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), humanistic, and mindfulness-based approaches, balancing insight-oriented exploration with practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. I believe our symptoms often serve a purpose, and together we’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion to better understand what they’re communicating rather than simply trying to eliminate them.
Having lived and worked internationally, I bring a culturally responsive perspective to therapy and understand how culture, identity, family, and life experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’ll meet you with warmth, authenticity, and collaboration.
I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Development from George Mason University in 2011 and have been practicing psychotherapy ever since. I provide therapy in English, Arabic, and French.
