I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!

Dr. Francis Aneke

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


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.

I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Largo, MD


I am dual-certified in Adult–Gerontology Primary Care and Psychiatric Mental Health, which means I care for both your physical and emotional well-being in one place. Many patients come in feeling like they’ve been passed around between providers—my goal is to simplify that experience and provide clear, coordinated, and comprehensive care.

I take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to every visit. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and make sure you fully understand your health and your options. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating stress or anxiety, dealing with hormonal changes, or working toward weight and wellness goals, we will create a plan that is realistic, personalized, and sustainable.

Through my work at Meldic Health Clinic, I focus on building a space where patients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Your concerns are taken seriously, and your care is never rushed.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Prince Frederick, MD


I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
