I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.
My name is Dr. Bolaji Olugboja, a trained psychiatric and family healthcare provider who believes in patient-centered care despite cultural diversities. I specialize in family care and mental health treatment. I am mostly referred to as Dr. B. I started my medical career as a registered nurse and worked in different capacities, as a nursing home nurse, various hospitals, a dialysis nurse, and an advocate for the proper health and well-being of diverse people requiring adequate healthcare.
Several of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure where to begin. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood changes, or behavioral concerns, you deserve clear answers and a provider who truly listens. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and feel heard. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I take a thoughtful approach to care, combining evidence-based treatment, practical guidance, and collaboration. You can meet with me for therapy only or for both therapy and medication management, depending on what feels right for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Kensington, MD
Searching for psychiatrists in Kensington starts with knowing what kind of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a strong fit. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care style to see whether their experience matches what you want to address.
Kensington is a smaller community near Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Silver Spring, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in Maryland. Medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. You may also choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details about appointment availability, session structure, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Kensington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can compare bios, choose between in-person and virtual care, 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.
