In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.


I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.


I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.


I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.

Dr. Gayatri Singh

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Louisville, KY


I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.

In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.

Christine Njogu

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, I’m Christine. I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to offer more than rushed, one-time care. After years in urgent care, I saw how often mental health was treated as an afterthought, and I knew people deserved better.

Today, I provide psychiatric medication management for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions that are disrupting daily life. My goal is not just to prescribe medication, but to help you feel stable and supported over time.

I take time to understand how you are really doing, from your sleep and stress levels to how work and daily life are being affected. We keep adjusting the plan until it is working for you.

As someone who came to this country from Africa, I understand what it can feel like to navigate systems that were not built with you in mind. That experience shapes how I practice. I believe psychiatric care should be honest, respectful, and tailored to the individual.

Recognizing the growing need for mental health support, I pursued advanced training in psychiatric care to better serve individuals navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington

Finding psychiatrists in Lexington starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.

Lexington has a steady network of mental health care options, with in-person offices across the city and virtual appointments that can make scheduling easier. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and follow-up cadence can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Before booking, read each profile to understand the psychiatrist’s specialties, communication style, appointment structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may owe before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan, then shows an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
