My name is Dr. Ellyn Johnson. I'm a queer, Black woman psychiatrist offering identity-affirming care for adults in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. Only around 2% of psychiatrists (roughly 850) in the U.S. are Black, no data is available for Black women specifically, and I am proud to be one of them.
My practice is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for who you are. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, identity stress, and the mental health impact of oppression and trauma.
My approach is thoughtful and grounded in an understanding of how culture, gender, and lived experience shape our mental health. I offer detailed psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis & treatment planning, medical cannabis evals (for clients in MD or VA), medication management, and collaborative care with your existing providers (if desired).
Finding a psychiatrist who truly understands your lived experience shouldn't feel impossible. Whether you're exploring medication for the first time, returning after a break, or looking for a provider who gets it, I’d love to support you. If you’d like to learn more or schedule a free 15-minute consultation, please reach out.
