I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. I value individualized treatment and strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their healing journey.

I earned my Master of Science in nursing from Drexel University. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, and I collaborate closely with clients to develop thoughtful treatment plans that align with their goals and lived experiences.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or seeking support, recovery and wellness are possible. I am here to partner with you in building coping skills, improving symptom management, and creating meaningful, lasting change. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to explore your treatment options.

Hi, I am Ryan Wade, a psychiatrist board certified in Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicine. I completed medical school and my Psychiatry residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School, followed by an Addiction Psychiatry fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine. Despite my training in the addiction field, I spend a large portion of my time focusing on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. I find that I typically work most with people who want to consolidate their medication regimen or those who view medication as a tool, not solely the solution to the issues they are facing.

I attempt to meet people where they are and the level they are willing to engage with treatment as this varies significantly from person to person. I believe psychotherapy is quite powerful for most people and routinely recommend it alongside my work with clients, including any medications I would potentially prescribe. 

If you are considering seeing someone for your mental health — or even wondering if what you are feeling day-to-day is "normal" and would like an assessment — feel free to schedule an appointment. There is no pressure to start medication or to even continue in treatment if you feel that it isn't right for you. I look forward to meeting you soon!
