Care begins with
understanding.
Godaelli is a psychiatric and mental-health practice serving Virginia, Maryland, and DC, virtually and in person. We offer compassionate mental health care with an integrated approach, built around your story, not a template.

Behind the
mask, you're
exhausted.

You worked hard in school. Got the degree. Got the job. Friends look at you and assume you have it all together. And you keep performing the part. The thread is getting thin.
You used to feel joy and peace. You really want that back. At Godaelli, we understand that feeling of crippling anxiety and the loss of self. With flexible care that meets you where you are, we know there is hope for the person you used to be, the one who lived without the weight.
Mental wellness is a journey, not a destination. Every step toward understanding yourself is a step toward a richer, fuller life.
Your story is unique. Your care should be too.
Integrated & Educational Care
We provide person-centered care that treats the whole person. Through education and individualized treatment, we empower clients with the knowledge and tools to actively participate in their wellness journey.
Personalized & Flexible Care
Your care plan is tailored to your unique needs, not pulled from a template. With in-person and online options, plus flexible scheduling, we make care fit your life, not the other way around.
Low & Slow Dosing
Careful medication management focused on safety, tolerability, comfort, and sustainable improvement.
Healing begins with awareness, understanding, and action.

What people say.
“I've been seeing Elizabeth Onyejekwe for about a year, and she's been terrific. I enjoy our conversations as she brings good insights along with kindness. This is actually the 3rd time I've switched my mental health provider due to difficulty with consistent appointments. I've had no issues here. The office staff is tremendous and super helpful!”
