Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, I’m Bettina. As a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner my goal is to provide more tools to put in your tool box on your path to wellness. Mental health is multifaceted and I believe that medications, in addition to psychotherapy, are one of many aspects of wellness. As your provider, we can explore what will work for you and your body/mind. I have 13 years of nursing experience at various psychiatric facilities in Baltimore. I have primarily worked in the inpatient setting allowing me to gain extensive experience treating mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, trauma and anxiety disorders. I strive to be consistently empathetic and actively listen to each of my patients in order to create a relationship that embraces safety and trust.

Mary Jackson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


With more than 30 years of clinical experience, I help adults navigate life's transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, loss, and questions about what comes next on your life path. My understanding of people comes not only from professional training but also from living a full life—with its joys, disappointments, relationships, losses, questions, and unexpected turns.

Many of the people who seek me out are at a crossroads. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, divorce, grief, caregiving responsibilities, employment and career issues, retirement, questions about identity, LGBTIQQ+, a sense that something in life no longer fits, or simply questions of meaning and purpose. My approach is thoughtful, conversational, and deeply respectful of each person's unique story. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I am interested in understanding the larger context of your life—your relationships, values, hopes, disappointments, strengths, and the patterns that have shaped you. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a place where they can talk openly without feeling judged or rushed. Together, we work to better understand what is happening, identify new possibilities, and help you move toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and satisfying.

Hey! I'm Christina, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 7 years experience providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy on an outpatient basis. I am thoroughly trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), two off-shoots of CBT that incorporate acceptance and mindfulness. I currently serve as the chapter president for Mid-Atlantic Chapter of The Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences, and I am a contributing author to an upcoming manual on a developing integrative therapy, Contextually-focused DBT.
