I’m Ine Saka, PMHNP-BC, FNP, and founder of Empathy Wellness Center, currently serving Maryland and Virginia. As a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, holistic, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, integrating traditional psychiatry with wellness-focused approaches to support mind, body, and spirit.
I believe mental health care should feel safe, supportive, and judgment-free. My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, with a focus on treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood concerns, burnout, trauma-related challenges, and life transitions, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
Hi, I'm David the founder of Oram Psychiatry, a private practice that serves all of New York, DC and Maryland. I am dedicated to delivering compassionate, individualized mental health care and I've been recognized by Todays Nurse as a top provider, which reflects my commitment to excellence in psychiatric care.
I specialize in diagnosing and treating a comprehensive range of psychiatric disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar and depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders, dissociative disorders, somatic symptom disorders, feeding and eating disorders, elimination disorders, sleep-wake disorders, sexual dysfunctions, gender dysphoria, disruptive and conduct disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, neurocognitive disorders, personality disorders, paraphilic disorders, and other mental health conditions.
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.

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.
