About Us
Welcome to Golden Sage Psychiatry! We specialize in providing holistic, integrative mental health care for a variety of psychiatric conditions.
An integrative approach to mental health care includes utilizing evidence-based and evidence-informed treatment options with clients. This can involve using complementary interventions in addition to traditional medication or therapy, including consideration of an individual’s lifestyle and habits including sleep, nutrition, stress management, and physical movement.
Our approach is centered around treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We believe that by addressing the root causes of mental health issues, we can help our patients achieve lasting wellness.

Destiny Shugrue, PMHNP-BC
Destiny graduated with a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Maryland Baltimore in 2019, and then from Husson University with a master’s degree in psychiatric mental health in 2022. She has garnered experience from the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, the Sheppard Enoch-Pratt Hospital in Towson, Luminis Health Medical Centers in Lanham and Annapolis, as well as multiple psychiatric private practices in Maryland.
Destiny’s philosophical approach to treatment comes from Pamela Reed’s Theory of Self-Transcendence, Hildegard Peplau’s Theory of Interpersonal Relations, and Jean Watson’s Human Caring Theory. Through her holistic and integrative approach to treatment, these theories are applied in practice to create a supportive, healing environment.
