Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Germantown, MD

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’m Dr. Halimat Akojie, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 26 years of experience in healthcare. I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, supporting individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use.

I am licensed in both MD and OR. I do not believe in an ideal client. As humans, we are all unique and need different things to thrive, so I will work with you and your experiences to help you be your ideal self. Your experiences do not have to define you but can aid in personal growth in one way or another. If you are open to self-exploration with a mix-bag of feedback, I believe we can work well together. This journey is not always a pretty one but can be rewarding. I am able to assist my clients by providing a safe space for exploration to allow my clients to go through their feelings. At times I am able to help clients name their feelings, but I am just a passenger, supporting safe travel through an emotional/ mental outing.Allow me to help you through your next adventure, where you learn more about your strengths and abilities. At times, your dislikes are also your strengths.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions across diverse care settings. My clinical background includes experience in inpatient, outpatient, and correctional environments, which has helped me develop a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to care.

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and other psychiatric concerns. I value evidence-based treatment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making, and I aim to provide care that is both clinically sound and responsive to each client’s unique needs.

I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!

Hi, I’m Shannah Edmonds, and I’m glad you’re here today. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with nearly 10 years of experience providing evidence based mental health treatment. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly without judgment. We’ll work together at your pace to help you reach your goals and feel more supported.
