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.

You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you have faced stigma, felt dismissed in the past, or worried about what a diagnosis might mean. My goal is to help you feel safe and at ease from the very first conversation.

As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.

In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.

Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.

You may know something needs to change, but not quite know how to get there. Maybe anxiety and overthinking are taking up too much space, past experiences continue to affect you, or your child or teen is struggling with big emotions, ADHD, rejection sensitivity, or feeling overwhelmed by school, relationships, or everyday life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. My background as a teacher, school counselor, and therapist gives me a unique understanding of how emotional health, relationships, family dynamics, and school experiences can intersect.

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.

I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.

I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents who are navigating mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, and Autism. I understand that these experiences can shape how young people view themselves, trust others, manage difficult emotions, and perform in school. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, safe, and empowered to grow.
