Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Greenbelt, MD

I am a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and psychotherapist with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential to living a balanced and fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. Since 2022, I have focused my practice on mental health therapy after years of working in substance use treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help individuals achieve meaningful, lasting growth and emotional well-being.

Although I have a wide range of professional experience ranging from maternal/family health and parenting, to grief and trauma, my focus usually gravitates towards trauma, as it tends to be an underlying unaddressed symptom behind many different presentations. I believe everyone will be, at some point in their life, in need of help and because of this, everyone is thus also deserving of it. Unbiased, without judgement or fear of retaliation or criticism- just the ability to let go in a safe, trusting space. With my practice, you set the course- and I will provide the tools and support to get us there.

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 believe that mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and individualized.

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.
