Dr. Christie Simon Waterman

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Maryland


I am Dr. Christie Simon-Waterman, a dually certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic care across the lifespan. My clinical background spans primary care, mental health, and community-based health, allowing me to care for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I earned my nursing education at Coppin State University and completed my doctoral training with a strong focus on health equity, leadership, and integrated care delivery.

In my practice, I specialize in:

  • Anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders
  • Integrated mental health treatment
  • Substance use–related concerns and recovery support
  • Care for underserved and marginalized populations

My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapy, medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support tailored to your goals.

Above all, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive responsive space where clients can build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Life can feel overwhelming — and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma can make it hard to see a way forward. I'm here to help you make sense of what you're carrying and find a path toward feeling more like yourself again.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience supporting adults through some of life's most difficult moments. Over the past 3.5 years as an independently licensed therapist, I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients navigating anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices — evidence-backed tools that I tailor to fit you, not the other way around.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and safe. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I'm committed to creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.

As we hit the halfway mark of the year this July, it is time to stop putting your mental health on the back burner. This holiday is the perfect moment to take action. Don’t wait for the new week to start: take control of your mental health and reclaim your peace of mind before the weekend ends by booking an intake appointment for this upcoming week. Whether you are facing a high-conflict divorce, a personal transition, or the crushing weight of burnout, it is exhausting to hold the line at work when your personal life feels like a crisis zone. You are used to managing the storm, but you don't have to manage this alone.
