Find a therapist in Maryland — covered by insurance

I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.

In my practice, I specialize in:

• Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
• Integrated mental health treatment
• Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
• Care for underserved and marginalized populations

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.

Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Clients who seek counseling may feel overwhelmed, stressed out, frustrated and anxious. My warm, compassionate demeanor coupled with a straightforward approach creates a supportive environment in which clients learn skills and receive guidance to become more engaged in their lives.

I also understand that the workplace can be rewarding, but also challenging, impacting a person’s happiness. Client’s leave therapy with coping strategies, helpful problem-solving abilities, and hope for the future.

Hi my name is Danielle Spitelle. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Woker. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2012. I have been doing therapy with children and adults since 2012. I provide a strength-based approach utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, mindfulness training, and psychodynamic therapy. I love seeing change in my clients as they work through the healing process.

"Let’s work together to discover the most important person—YOU!" I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD. With 29 years of nursing experience, I work with clients ages 12 and up, including extensive experience working with Veterans.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mental Health and Human Services, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Master of Science in Nursing Education, and a Post-Master’s Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

My goal is to create a non judgemental, safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one where you can release past hurts, rediscover your strengths, and embrace the importance of caring for yourself.

My appointments are all virtual and available during non conventional times for the working person with evening and weekend appointments. Trying to offer dates and times that do not interfere with your work time. I have experience with working with those who have served our country- Veterans.
