I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the sole provider for George William Health and Wellness. I assess, diagnose and prescribe psychiatric medications. Depending on the circumstances, some patients want small amount of therapy added on to their medication management session. I love treating clients and finding the right treatment needed to improve mental health. Look forward to hearing from you.

I received my medical education in Paris, France.
I arrived in the US in 1982 and completed my psychiatric residency at Temple University Hospital, in Philadelphia in 1989.
IN 2010, I completed a forensic psychiatry fellowship in Portland, Oregon.
I have worked as a staff psychiatrist within the Maryland state mental health system for 23 years.
I am working with patients suffering from general mental illness and patients suffering from substance abuse.
I have worked with substance abuse clients since 1992 when I created a treatment program at Crownsville Hospital, in Crownsville. More recently I have been working with clients receiving buprenorphine (Suboxone) for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
I’m Tashaniyi, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional. My path to psychiatry began in the ICU, where I trained at Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Watching patients survive their worst moments made one thing clear: the body and mind are inseparable, and conventional care alone rarely tells the whole story.
That conviction shapes everything I do at Aurelia Integrative Psychiatric Care. I specialize in burnout, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and I work with high-performing professionals who have tried the standard approaches and still feel like something is missing. My care integrates psychiatric treatment with labs, pharmacogenetic testing, and nervous system restoration because I believe you deserve more than a prescription and a follow-up in 90 days.
I start where most providers stop.
Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.
I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Bethesda, MD
Finding psychiatrists in Bethesda starts with understanding the type of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication; therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and making a plan for follow-up visits. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related concerns. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
Bethesda has a focused local mental health care market, so nearby in-person appointments may be limited depending on your schedule and preferences. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options across Maryland while still giving you access to care from home. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for availability, session format, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Bethesda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person availability when offered. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
