Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Gaithersburg, MD

Hello, I’m Dr. Amaechi Olumba, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in nursing and behavioral health. I provide compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based psychiatric care to individuals experiencing a variety of mental health concerns.

My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients can feel comfortable discussing their concerns and actively participating in their journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.

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.

Hi there, I am Aloys. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is committed to providing you with evidence-based compassionate mental health care with a holistic approach. I have several years experience in acute inpatient psychiatric units treating a wide variety of mental health conditions. My goal is to provide an environment of care where you feel supported, heard, and understood. We will work collaboratively in an open communication to provide you with information that will help you make the best decision for you.

Finding psychiatric care where you feel truly heard—rather than rushed through an appointment—can be challenging. As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, and major life transitions.

My clinical background spans high-acuity critical care and outpatient psychiatry, giving me a grounded, whole-person perspective on mental wellness. I look closely at how physical health, sleep, daily routines, and brain chemistry interact so we can address the root causes of what is holding you back. If you are looking for clarity, diagnostic precision, and a supportive medical provider to guide your care, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I am also a board certified adult nurse practitioner for over 12 years. I began my nursing career graduating from university of MD with my bachelors, and then attended Johns Hopkins University for my masters. I decided to further my education by attending Brandman University to obtain my Doctorate and psychiatric mental health certification in 2018.

I specialize in treating bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety, with a particular focus on ADHD. My approach centers on compassion, honesty, and cultural competence. I want every client to feel genuinely seen and understood, not just heard. Many of the people I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or caught in cycles of mood instability, often after carrying those feelings alone for a long time. I bring patience and clear, effective communication to every session, so you never feel rushed or unsure of what comes next in your care.

I’m Ine Saka, PMHNP-BC, FNP, and founder of Empathy Wellness Center, currently serving Maryland and Virginia. As a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, integrating traditional psychiatry with wellness-focused approaches to support mind, body, and spirit.
