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. My approach focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to participate in their treatment decisions. 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.

I understand that seeking help can be difficult, and I strive to make the process as comfortable as possible. 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.

I look forward to partnering with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and helps you move toward your personal goals.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laurel

Searching for therapists in Laurel starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. People often look for therapy in Laurel, MD for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare local counselors, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Laurel is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of Maryland. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect from therapy.

Therapy in Laurel can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
