Grief counselors and therapists in Waldorf, MD

Even though you may be struggling with something right now, you can choose to: see it in a new way... be open to feeling differently about it... and with time, change your relationship to it. Everything you need is already within you. My role is to help you access it, and use it.

It is hard to be vulnerable in therapy. And while I don't yet know your story, I do know that if you are considering therapy, you are already doing the hard work of introspection. It takes courage to seek out more for yourself. You already have my respect and my empathy, and I would love to be part of your journey of healing and discovery.

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.

Becoming a parent—or trying to—can bring a mix of hope, stress, grief, and unexpected emotional challenges. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, loss, anxiety, relationship shifts, or the emotional transition into parenthood, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I work with individuals to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to better understand yourself and your experiences. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and emotionally supported while navigating this season of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW, LCSW) serving clients in Maryland and Washington, DC, with over 14 years of experience across outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. As a Perinatal Mental Health–Certified provider (PMH-C), I specialize in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, reproductive trauma, anxiety, depression, and perinatal loss.

A fundamental aspect of our humanity is our need for unconditional positive regard, understanding, acceptance, and presence from one another. Life can be challenging, and facing it alone, no matter how strong you are, can feel isolating and tough. You don't have to go through it alone—recognizing this is why we're here together.

Anything you share with me will only deepen my admiration for who you are. I aim to offer an emotional, meaningful, and empowering experience to my clients. Working with me means embarking on a journey of self-discovery together, where we explore and address the root causes of your struggles.

Healing takes many forms, and therapy is just one option. It's particularly useful for those who want to delve deeply into underlying issues within a safe and supportive environment. Although the process can be challenging and bring surprising insights, it often leads to significant personal growth and liberation.
