Hello, and welcome. My name is Fobella Nzobella, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping individuals achieve improved mental health, emotional well-being, and recovery from substance use disorders through compassionate, evidence-based care.

I earned my advanced nursing degrees and completed specialized training in psychiatry, allowing me to provide comprehensive care that addresses both mental and physical health needs. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan in outpatient clinics, residential programs, and substance use treatment programs.

My areas of specialization include:

  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Anxiety disorders and stress-related conditions
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Trauma-related disorders and PTSD
  • Substance Use Disorders (alcohol, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, and nicotine)
  • Medication management
  • Relapse prevention and recovery support
  • Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

I believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, focusing on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to participate in their treatment decisions.

Whether you are seeking help for a mental health concern, recovery from substance use, medication management, or support during a difficult life transition, I am committed to working with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and enhances your quality of life.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, wellness, and lasting recovery.

Tanya Anderson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Life can pull you in a lot of directions, and it helps to have someone in your corner who sees the whole you.

I'm Tanya Anderson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have worked with clients in schools, private practice, and community settings, most recently supporting students and families in Prince George's County. I take a holistic, person-centered approach that considers your mind, body, and spirit, and I bring my full, authentic self into the room. I think of myself as a "perfectly imperfect" therapist: human, real, and here to build genuine trust with you. If you are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space to grow, I would love to work together.
