Meet Our Team
Dr. Tonisha Melvin, APRN, CRRN, ANP-C, PMHNP-BC
I live in Bethesda, MD with my husband of 26+ years, our 17-year-old son, and our new addition to the family Pluto (who is a Boston Terrier). We also have a 26-year-old who is a mechanical engineer. I am a wife, mother, advanced practice registered nurse, writer, and lover of dark chocolate! I enjoy spending time with my family, snowboarding, reading, being a fitness coach, gardening, cleaning, volunteering, writing/blogging, going to the mountains, and meeting new people.
I have over 16 years of nursing experience. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Mercer University and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi multidisciplinary collegiate honor society in 2017. I am certified as an adult nurse practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and as a Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse by the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses. I also have a vast amount of medical-surgical, telemetry, spinal cord injury, peri-operative, and ICU experience.
In 2019, 2020, and 2022 I was named one of the numerous African American Leaders in Healthcare by Becker’s Hospital Review. I am also a contributing author of The Charge Nurse Leader Program Builder: A Competency-Based Approach for Developing Frontline Leaders, a comprehensive curriculum and roadmap for developing nurse leaders and ensuring charge nurses are trained, mentored, and supported in their roles, and a columnist for Phi Kappa Phi’s The Forum.
I am currently the President and Co-CEO of DMV Medical Group, LLC in Kensington, MD, where we currently provide a variety of healthcare services. Additionally, we provide care to our nation's veterans by partnering with different companies. I also volunteer my time with the American Nurses Association, the Georgia Nurses Association, and the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, and was commissioned by the State Board of Maryland’s Environmental Health Specialist.

Welcome to my world of wellness and warmth! I'm Vida Robb, and when I'm not immersed in the realm of mental health care, you'll often find me basking in the joys of quality time with my beloved daughters. Whether we're exploring the great outdoors on our bikes, gliding gracefully on roller skates, or simply sharing laughter over a captivating movie, every moment spent with them is a cherished delight. My passion for exploration extends beyond family outings – I'm an avid traveler, always eager to discover new destinations and cultures across the globe.
In my professional capacity, I proudly serve as a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, bringing five years of invaluable experience to the table. With a focus on adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, I am dedicated to providing top-notch, compassionate care to each and every client I have the privilege of serving. My mission? To foster trusting relationships built on a foundation of dignity and respect, ensuring that every individual feels valued and heard.

Known for my down-to-earth demeanor and unwavering professionalism, I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where you can feel at ease discussing your concerns and aspirations. While mental health remains my primary focus, I strongly advocate for nurturing overall well-being – encompassing physical health and personal fulfillment.
As a mother of three preteen girls, I understand the significance of family dynamics and the profound impact they have on our lives. With 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. Guiding individuals through challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, addiction, and ADHD, I am deeply committed to witnessing your journey of recovery and healing.
Above all else, my number one goal is to alleviate any doubts, fears, or anxieties you may have about seeking professional care. From our very first meeting, you'll be met with a listening ear and a compassionate heart, as we work together to incorporate your voice into a personalized treatment plan that empowers you on your path to wellness.
