Depression Psychiatrists in Washington D.C.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 20 years' experience in the mental health field. My specialty areas include ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance abuse, PTSD, and women's health.

My clinical experience spans inpatient, outpatient, detoxification rehab, psychiatric emergency department, IOP, and PHP settings. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and brief psychotherapy. In addition to medication management with psychotherapy, I may recommend individual therapy for the best possible patient outcome.

I provide a non-judgmental therapeutic environment in which patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. I offer education about diagnosis and treatment options, empowering patients to be an active part of their treatment plan.

My philosophy is simple yet powerful: care should fit the person, not just the diagnosis. I am passionate about tackling complex issues, including suicide prevention, C-PTSD, chronic depression, ASD, and OCD, and advocating for underserved communities. I believe in patient-centered care based on the individual, rather than focusing only on a diagnostic algorithm.

I am Holly James Corrigan, RN, MSN, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I earned my BSN from Russell Sage College in 2009, my MSN from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Health Professions in 2016, and completed Psychiatry Redefined's Fellowship in Functional and Integrated Psychiatry in 2025. I keep current by attending top conferences, like the International Trauma Conference in Boston, ensuring I am always at the forefront of my field.

My career began as a registered nurse in neurology, pediatrics, and emergency care, before I found my calling in psychiatry. Since then, I have provided medication management and supportive psychotherapy in outpatient clinics and worked in inpatient units serving adults and adolescents.

The first appointment will include a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and a discussion about what your goals of treatment are. Pharmacological and therapeutic recommendations are both important elements of the treatment plan. Follow-up appointments will be more concise, but may include various therapeutic modalities, medication changes, and supportive psychotherapy.

My practice focuses on medication management. I work to foster a safe and collaborative space in which patients can address psychiatric illness and other barriers holding them back from the lives they want to lead. Typically, I offer appointments for medication management coupled with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute sessions. When I feel that additional therapy is needed, I will suggest inviting a therapist to join the team for additional support and guidance. I welcome collaborations with other clinicians, be they therapists or other physicians caring for my patients. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships that help patients grow and meet their goals, whatever their situation, challenge, or life stage. I welcome patients from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds and am LGBTQ+ friendly.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist. Before joining Talkiatry, I practiced consult-liaison psychiatry, seeing medically ill patients with psychiatric problems at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I also treated veterans in nursing homes.

Following a post-baccalaureate, pre-medical program at Columbia University, I completed medical school at The University of Maryland, followed by a psychiatry residency at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. While at Johns Hopkins, I mastered clinical assessment and treatment of general psychiatric problems. I also received specialized training in eating disorders, addiction, reproductive psychiatry, chronic pain, and geriatric psychiatry, an interest I pursued further with a fellowship at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In fellowship and in my subsequent experience at the VA, I developed expertise in caring for the difficulties that can accompany aging, including depression, anxiety, and memory loss, as well as the stress of medical illness. In addition to my background in geriatrics, I have experience working with peripartum women and enjoy working with patients navigating major life changes.

I am a board-certified General and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over nine years of experience. My practice focuses on medication management, which is founded not only on evidence-based medicine but also on the understanding that a trusting therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of behavioral health healing.

I believe a whole-person approach with open, collaborative teamwork is the key to progress.

There I cared for active duty service members and their families to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and the unique stressors of military service.

I later transitioned to federal civilian service and served as a preceptor for Phase II Physician Assistant trainees and Army Social Work interns, reinforcing a passion for education that carried me to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). During my time at WRNMMC, I served in several roles including Deputy Medical Director of Inpatient Psychiatry, core faculty for the National Capital Consortium Psychiatry Residency Program, Associate Program Director, and associate faculty at the Uniform Services University for Health Sciences (USUHS). Prior to transitioning out of federal service to join Talkiatry, I was repeatedly recognized for excellence in academics and mentorship and received multiple teaching awards. This zeal for education and mentorship, as well as humility, personal growth, and learning, translates directly into my philosophy for patient care.

I value professionalism, honesty, and shared decision-making, using these principles to guide my evidence-based approach to care. My process is rooted in understanding each patient as a whole person, not just a diagnosis.
