Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bowie, MD

Clients who seek counseling may feel overwhelmed, stressed out, frustrated and anxious. My warm, compassionate demeanor coupled with a straightforward approach creates a supportive environment in which clients learn skills and receive guidance to become more engaged in their lives.

I also understand that the workplace can be rewarding, but also challenging, impacting a person’s happiness. Client’s leave therapy with coping strategies, helpful problem-solving abilities, and hope for the future.

I operate on the belief that you possess the inherent capacity for growth and healing; my role is simply to provide the guidance and support necessary to facilitate that journey. My goal is to offer a safe, peaceful space where you feel truly heard and accepted as you navigate life’s ups and downs

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 provide a therapy practice that is actively Anti-racist, Queer positive, Trans-affirming, and Sex positive. My priority is creating a space where you can be yourself without explanation or apology. I work with teens and adults, and I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders/OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders.

My approach is guided by the Greek concept of Filotimo—a deep-seated sense of honor, duty, and care for others. In practice, this means I show up with genuine respect and a commitment to your well-being, focusing on our shared humanity above all else.

Hi there, I am Aloys. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is committed to providing you with evidence-based compassionate mental health care with a holistic approach. I have several years experience in acute inpatient psychiatric units treating a wide variety of mental health conditions. My goal is to provide an environment of care where you feel supported, heard, and understood. We will work collaboratively in an open communication to provide you with information that will help you make the best decision for you.

I believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience and extensive work in inpatient psychiatry. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatric mental health and care for individuals across the lifespan.

I treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and women’s mental health concerns, including postpartum depression.
