Healthcare that grows with you.
The years between adolescence and adulthood are filled with change and your healthcare should evolve with you. At Ambrosia Teen and Young Adult Healthcare, we provide compassionate, relationship-centered primary care for adolescents, teens, and young adults throughout Columbia, Maryland and surrounding communities. Whether you’re coming in for a wellness visit, managing a chronic condition, navigating mental health concerns, or simply looking for a provider who listens without judgment, we’re here to help you build a healthy foundation for the future.
I created Ambrosia Teen and Young Adult Healthcare because I believe adolescence and young adulthood are some of the most important years in a person’s life. They’re years of tremendous growth, independence, uncertainty, and opportunity. Yet too often, young people feel rushed through appointments, unsure where to ask questions, or disconnected from their healthcare altogether.
Todd ambrosia, DNP, FNP-BC, CRNP, Columbia, Maryland
I wanted to build a different kind of practice, one where every patient feels welcomed, respected, and genuinely heard. A place where conversations are never rushed, prevention is prioritized, and healthcare becomes a partnership rather than a series of isolated visits.

Services
Primary Care & Preventive Health
Building healthy habits starts with having a provider who knows you. Our primary care services focus on preventive visits, annual wellness exams, screenings, vaccinations, chronic disease management, and ongoing healthcare guidance that evolves alongside each patient’s changing needs.
Teen & Young Adult Behavioral Health
Mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. We provide evaluation, medication management for ADHD, anxiety, and depression when appropriate, along with brief behavioral counseling and coordinated care that supports the whole person.
Sexual Health & LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
Healthcare should be inclusive, respectful, and confidential. We offer STI testing, PrEP services, contraception counseling, gender-affirming primary care, and sexual health education in an environment where every patient is treated with dignity and respect.
Sports Physicals & Wellness Visits
Whether preparing for a new sports season, heading to summer camp, or simply staying on top of preventive care, our comprehensive wellness visits help ensure young people remain healthy, active, and ready for whatever comes next.
