Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Welcome to a space of care, balance, and renewal. I’m Vida Robb, a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience and a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I specialize in adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia.

My approach is holistic and personalized. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honoring each individual’s unique story, culture, and goals. Whether you’re overcoming obstacles, seeking stability, or striving for growth, I tailor treatment plans to meet your needs and walk with you every step of the way. Patients often describe me as approachable and down-to-earth, and I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of my work, I’m a proud mother of three preteen daughters. Whether we’re biking, roller skating, or exploring new destinations, family life inspires my passion for helping others live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Above all, my goal is to ease the fears or uncertainties you may feel about seeking help. From our first meeting, you’ll be met with compassion, professionalism, and a commitment to your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward healing and a healthier future.

Derrick Gibson

Derrick Gibson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


My name is Derrick C. Gibson — Licensed Professional Counselor, Elder at Brookside Ministry Church of God in Christ International, and someone who has spent his career showing up for people that many systems had already written off. I hold dual Master's degrees in Guidance and Counseling and Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and my work has taken me deep into Kanawha County, West Virginia — into the schools, into the judicial system, and into the lives of families navigating some of the hardest circumstances imaginable. I've worked with domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals managing anger — not from a distance, but up close, with real investment in real outcomes. I also serve as a Christian Counselor, which means faith is not a footnote in my practice — it's woven into the foundation. If you're looking for a counselor who brings both clinical training and a grounded spiritual perspective, you've found one.
