Rachidetou Njoya, NP — Psychiatrist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Rachidetou!

I'm a passionate provider dedicated to helping people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, schizoaffective disorder, and substance abuse. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and breathing relaxation techniques to help you make progress and feel better.

My focus

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who need support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, disruptive mood disorder, and substance abuse. I provide psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and psychotherapy.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, and it is related to the client's needs and concerns. My desire is to develop a trusting relationship with clients in order to provide the best standard evidence-based practice and treatment using a holistic, humanistic care and counseling approach. The cognitive theory is mostly used with clients.

My communication style

My therapeutic style is calm, accommodating, engaging, and non-judgmental. I'm an active listener who genuinely wants to help you through difficult times. You can expect a safe space where you feel heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had a passion for helping people, which led me to nursing and eventually to mental health care. Working with patients struggling beyond medical treatment touched my heart deeply. Their stories inspired me to specialize in psychiatric care, where I can heal through both psychotherapy and medication.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is to build a relationship with them, listen and understand their needs and concerns, and work together with them to set up new goals and plans to achieve those goals on time.

Our first session

During our first session, I want to hear from you about what brings you in, your medical and psychiatric history, current medications, and family history. I'll complete a full psychiatric evaluation and we'll discuss psychotherapy and medication options. You can ask questions anytime.
