Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New Market, MD

I received my Master’s of Art in School Counseling from Loyola University in May 2000 and I am currently a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland .

Throughout my graduate and professional experiences, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on issues including anxiety, self-esteem and identity, stress management, and life transitions. As a mother, I also have a passion for supporting expecting and new mothers as they prepare for and adjust to expanding their families. I prioritize developing a supportive, collaborative relationship with each client, helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges.

I am licensed in Maryland. I have experience in helping clients with trauma, abuse, anger management, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & bipolar disorder. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I have worked with many incarcerated individuals and also in a community based setting. I have been looking forward to expand my horizon. I also work with clients experiencing relationship and family issues. I started working with a LGPC license, then transitioned to full my LCPC license from the state of Maryland.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of diverse healthcare experience, committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based psychiatric care. I specialize in psychiatric medication management.

I provide care to people experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, stress, and life transitions. Whether you are seeking a new psychiatric provider or establishing care for the first time, my goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to thrive.

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.

Great to meet you!

As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is integral to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’m honored to share that I have been helping people for nearly 25 years... and counting! I look forward to working with you and uncovering the solutions needed to help you live the life you desire and deserve!

I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.
