If you’re feeling isolated, unmotivated, or like nothing you do really matters — you’re not alone. I specialize in supporting folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. I deeply believe that every person deserves to feel respected and seen first and foremost as a human being, not just as a diagnosis.
I’ve seen how hard it can be to feel like your life is on pause — like you’re watching from the sidelines. It hurts. I get how lonely that can make you feel, and I’m here to show you there is a path forward.
A highly motivated, result-oriented Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in nursing. Providing holistic, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
If you've ever felt uneasy, unheard, or just plain frustrated trying to manage your mental health on your own — I want you to know that's exactly where so many of my clients start. And it's exactly why I do this work.
I'm Lisa, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients throughout Maryland through telehealth and in-person visits. My practice centers on helping people navigate anxiety and depression, two of the most common — and most treatable — challenges I see. Whether you're struggling to get out of bed in the morning or caught in a loop of worry you can't seem to escape, I meet you where you are, without judgment.
I'm Francis Aneke, and I work with adults navigating mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard — not rushed through a checklist. My practice is built on the idea that mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum: your relationships, work, sleep, body, and history all shape how you feel today. Whether you've been in therapy for years or are reaching out for the first time, my goal is to make this space feel like one where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll work toward the kind of relief and clarity that lasts beyond our sessions.
Collaboration and shared decision-making are essential.
I work alongside clients to explore their goals, provide education, and develop treatment plans that align with their values and preferences. Pay close attention not just to what clients say, but how they say it—affect, behavior, and underlying themes.
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 specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, PTSD, Panic disorder and mood disorders. I also offer ADHD testing for children and adults online and in-person. I offer both medication management and therapy.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Towson starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship stress. If you want medication support, therapy, or both, look for a psychiatrist whose training, listed specialties, and care approach match your needs.
Towson is a smaller market, so local psychiatrist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you choose care that fits your calendar. Psychiatry appointments for medication management 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. Before booking, read profiles for details on specialties, appointment availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatry in Towson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. You can add your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, then review bios and choose a psychiatrist 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.
