True Radiance Psychiatry

If you’re looking for a psychiatrist or therapist who will:

• Listen to you

• Help you understand yourself more

• Consider medication as an option and NOT the ONLY option

• incorporate lifestyle changes and plant-based medicine into treatment

  … then you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Dr. Dasylia Willoughby owner and CEO of True Radiance Psychiatry.

True Radiance Psychiatry is a Maryland-based psychodynamic integrative psychiatry practice founded on the belief that real healing begins with a deeper understanding of yourself — your story, your patterns, your inner world. I believe that meaningful change happens when insight gained through therapy is combined with intentional lifestyle shifts, thoughtful medication management, and targeted lab-based supplementation. The best care isn’t one-dimensional — it’s holistic, and it honors the whole person.

People who may find my approach helpful are people who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma and grief. Maybe you have been struggling for a long time. You might have tried therapy and/or medications already and found that they weren’t helpful. Maybe you didn’t feel that your therapist was able to get to the core issues of your struggles. Maybe you hoped that your therapist would challenge you more or help you understand yourself on a deeper level.

You might have tried other therapy types in which you were given pages of homework to do or lists to make and you just felt like doing all of this was not working for you.

If this sounds like you, I can help.

My style of psychiatry also focuses on a psychodynamic approach which is used when prescribing medications, as well as in therapy. This means that you and I will get to the root issue of your struggles. We will examine your childhood and various significant life experiences and evaluate how they influence your behaviors today. With a better understanding of yourself, comes better healing. I also use this psychodynamic lens to examine medication effectiveness. One of the most effective means for increasing treatment effectiveness is by fostering a good therapeutic relationship. I actively try to do this by making sure I provide a safe space for you to feel heard.

I believe in medication management being an option but not the only option.  It’s why I incorporate herbal and plant-based medicine to enhance evidence-based psychiatric treatment as well as lifestyle modification to create a complete and personalized plan to best help you achieve your goals.

I’m not just here to hand you a prescription — I want to understand your story, help you connect the dots, and walk with you as you work toward a life that feels more whole and fulfilling.

I’m here to help you start your journey.
