Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Germantown, MD

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in comprehensive, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. With years of healthcare experience and a compassionate, patient-centered approach, I provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique goals and needs.

Whether you're seeking medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, I work collaboratively with you to develop an individualized plan that promotes lasting wellness and improved quality of life.

I also offer Spravato® (esketamine) treatment for eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder. To better meet the needs of busy professionals, students, and families, evening and weekend Spravato appointments are available in a comfortable, supportive clinical setting.

My goal is to provide accessible, high-quality mental health care that empowers you to achieve emotional wellness and long-term recovery.

As a psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I work with a general adult population primarily with mood disorders, adjustment related concerns, grief and loss and relational concerns.

Erica, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) was born and raised in Balti. MD and received her education at CSU with B.S. in Criminal Justice and a M.Ed. in Rehab Counseling. She has professional experience working with children/ adolescents and young adults with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Disruptive/Impulse-Control/Conduct Disorder, ADHD and Substance Related/Addictive Disorders through Dept. of Social Services, Dept. Juvenile Services supervision and BCPSS.

Whether working with adolescents, adults, or couples, as a licensed clinical psychologist, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment in which my patients can examine the challenges that have emerged in their lives and explore barriers to meaningful change. I utilize an integrative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions informed by Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Attachment, Relational and Psychodynamic modalities. My couples work draws from Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy models.
