Vida Robb

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


Welcome to a space of care, balance, and renewal. I’m Vida Robb, a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience and a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I specialize in adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia.

My approach is holistic and personalized. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honoring each individual’s unique story, culture, and goals. Whether you’re overcoming obstacles, seeking stability, or striving for growth, I tailor treatment plans to meet your needs and walk with you every step of the way. Patients often describe me as approachable and down-to-earth, and I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of my work, I’m a proud mother of three preteen daughters. Whether we’re biking, roller skating, or exploring new destinations, family life inspires my passion for helping others live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Above all, my goal is to ease the fears or uncertainties you may feel about seeking help. From our first meeting, you’ll be met with compassion, professionalism, and a commitment to your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward healing and a healthier future.

Lisa Lee

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


As an Asian, Christian mom of two from Northern VA, with experiences in both big cities and the suburbs, I’ve navigated the challenging expectations stemming from diverse cultural, generational, and societal influences. I’ve learned that being confined by limiting beliefs and labels can create a narrative that leads to distress and isolation. I believe that openness, discipline, and compassion within a safe space foster both acceptance and meaningful change.

Dr. Shannon Howard

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


Great to meet you! I am Dr. Shannon Howard, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LCPC, LPC) for the states of DC & MD, a Certified Life Coach, and an Author. I have been helping individuals, children, couples, and families navigate grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, adjustment, depression and more for over 24 years.

My educational background consists of a dual Master's in both Counseling and Clinical Psychology. I received my first master's at Towson University in 2000, a second Masters and Doctorate in 2008 and 2010 from The American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. I minored in Philosophy as well as Women's Studies.

I possess specialized training in areas of trauma, specifically in the assessment and treatment of sex offenders and survivors of sexual assault. I have worked in an adult inpatient psychiatric hospital, a day program for adults with chronic and acute mental illness, as well as on an outpatient basis as a private practitioner and with a group practice. I worked with Parole and Probation to help clients maintain compliance and management while on the registry. As a Certified Life Coach, I help coaching clients discover what they truly desire. We collaborate to create a roadmap to move you forward and build a future that feels grounded and authentic to you.

At present, I offer a full range of services and am open to accepting new virtual clients.

Carrie Ojo

Carrie Ojo

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


I am a social worker. I am a mother. I am a partner. I am a cautious optimist. I am constantly learning.

I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I acknowledge that late-stage capitalism is an implicit factor in functioning. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping. I believe artificial intelligence cannot do this work for us and that healing only truly happens together.
