Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Silver Spring, MD

I offer no judgement and offer a space for you to safely discuss any issues you're navigating. I help you to move forward feeling feeling empowered and autonomous.

I am a compassionate and understanding clinician who values creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for every client. I believe in meeting people where they are and supporting them through life’s challenges with empathy and respect. My goal is to help clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. With experience supporting both children and adults, I specialize in helping individuals manage Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, and Adjustment Disorders. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, providing a judgment-free and empathetic space where you feel truly seen and heard.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over 10+ of experience in the mental health field, and 3 years as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I founded Isimi Health & Wellness to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. My clinical background spans across PHP/IOP settings, Outpatient psychiatry, TMS, and telepsychiatry. I’ve worked with diverse populations experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for mood instability, clarity around your medication options, or a space to reset and realign, I’m honored to walk alongside you on your wellness journey.

I bring empathy, humor, and a down-to-earth style to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and truly yourself. Therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a script. I value connection and will support you with compassion—while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and help you move forward.

You deserve care that treats you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. I'm Cynthia, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with people of all ages and backgrounds to find calm, clarity, and a plan that fits their life. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free. If you're ready for steady, honest support, I'd love to help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credentialed by the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists. I completed my Bachelor’s degree (B.S. in Psychology) at Towson University in 2013 and received my Master’s degree (M.S.) in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University in 2016. I am passionate about helping others conquer their challenges and transcend their goals. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends, loved ones, and her dogter, Lila. My favorite self-care activities include going to concerts, traveling, kayaking, cooking, and experimenting with different types of mocktails and coffees.
