I have a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their mental health journeys. I offer virtual therapy sessions, making it convenient for you to receive support from the comfort of your own space. Fluent in both English and Swahili.
I'm a doctoral-level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (DSW, LCSW) with 8 years of experience specializing in OCD, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. I'm trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard treatment for OCD — and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, a rare and highly effective trauma protocol. I work virtually with adults and older adults across North Carolina, Maryland, and Tennessee. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser Mid-Atlantic, Carelon, Ascension, Horizon BCBS NJ, and Independence Blue Cross PA.
Hello, my name is Dr. Star Tangyie-Che Niba, and I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. For the past three years, I've been dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals and families.
I earned my doctoral degree from the University of South Alabama, where I cultivated a strong foundation in holistic and patient-centered care. My practice focuses on addressing a variety of mental health concerns, including Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Mood disorders, All Bipolar types, Schizophrenia, Schizo-affective disorders, Trauma etc. I also specialize in supporting clients through life transitions and managing stress effectively.
If you’re feeling isolated, unmotivated, or like nothing you do really matters — you’re not alone. I specialize in supporting folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. I deeply believe that every person deserves to feel respected and seen first and foremost as a human being, not just as a diagnosis.
I’ve seen how hard it can be to feel like your life is on pause — like you’re watching from the sidelines. It hurts. I get how lonely that can make you feel, and I’m here to show you there is a path forward.
I'm Francis Aneke, and I work with adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard — not rushed through a checklist. My practice is built on the idea that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum: your relationships, work, sleep, body, and history all shape how you feel today. Whether you've been in therapy for years or are reaching out for the first time, my goal is to make this space feel like one where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll work toward the kind of relief and clarity that lasts beyond our sessions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Germantown, MD
Searching for therapists in Germantown starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or family therapy. Provider bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may include, and who they commonly work with.
Germantown is a smaller market within Montgomery County, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Maryland-licensed therapist. Some people prefer an office setting near Germantown, Middlebrook, Walnut Hill, or other nearby areas, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free consultation options, and the details in each profile that speak to communication style and fit.
Therapy in Germantown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear availability. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
