Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Germantown, MD

I provide evidence-based therapy with a strong focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment difficulties, helping clients develop practical coping skills, improve insight, and create meaningful behavioral change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Certified (LCSW-C) with extensive experience working in inpatient, group, individual, and couples therapy settings. My background has given me a deep understanding of how people heal both in crisis and in everyday life. In addition to my clinical training, I’m also a certified yoga instructor, which informs my appreciation for the mind-body connection. As a mother, I bring empathy, real-world perspective, and a grounded approach to the challenges my clients face. Together, these experiences shape the holistic, compassionate, and active way I show up in the therapy room.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Debby Falusi, CRNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience in mental health care. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatry, telepsychiatry, substance use treatment programs, correctional facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.

I work closely with each client to understand their unique experiences, challenges, strengths, and goals.

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy while utilizing evidence-based practices to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their mental well-being.

Whether you are experiencing new mental health concerns or managing a long-standing condition, I am committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and improved quality of life.

My career has included time as a social worker, helping patients and families navigate cancer and traumatic brain injuries; and as a therapist, supporting individuals in pursuit of better mental health. Along the way, I began facilitating ad-hoc stress relief practices for my colleagues in the helping professions. I began to see that the healthcare workers, teachers, first responders, veterans and so on, were struggling with their own well-being while working tirelessly to serve others. Most of us are serving in helping roles in more than one area of our lives, beyond our work, we are caregivers, parents, volunteers, etc. While this can be rewarding, it can also be exhausting, overwhelming and lonely. It can lead many of us into a state of 'dis-ease.' I would love to help you find your way back to your WHOLE self.
