Hello, my name is Dr. Star Tangyie-Che Niba, and I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. For the past three years, I've been dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals and families.
I earned my doctoral degree from the University of South Alabama, where I cultivated a strong foundation in holistic and patient-centered care. My practice focuses on addressing a variety of mental health concerns, including Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Mood disorders, All Bipolar types, Schizophrenia, Schizo-affective disorders, Trauma etc. I also specialize in supporting clients through life transitions and managing stress effectively.
With 14 years as a psychiatric registered nurse before becoming a practitioner, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to every patient interaction. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel understood and supported. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, identify what’s holding you back, and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

I am very dedicated, committed and passionate about mental health care. My goal is to renew minds, restore balance, helping my patients achieve achieve optimal health and well being. I love what I do and I care a lot about about my patients.
You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment.

As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.
In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.
Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Bowie, MD
Finding psychiatrists in Bowie starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through ongoing sessions. Both can be helpful entry points depending on what you’re looking for. If you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, experience, and care approach before booking.
Bowie has local options for psychiatric care, and availability may vary by schedule, office location, and appointment type. Virtual appointments can expand your choices beyond nearby offices while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they commonly support, and what to expect in the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Bowie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs and understand pricing before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated session costs before booking, review psychiatrist bios, 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.
