Hello! My name is Cathy Randolph and I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I developed my passion for mental health during my journey working with veterans in residential PTSD and Substance abuse programs. My specialties include, but are not limited to treating and managing PTSD, Substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorder. I am also a Medicinal Marijuana clinician.
I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), I provide evidence-based medication management to clients seeking care. Since becoming a PMHNP, I have worked in different settings such as community health and women’s health. I have a true passion for working with the LGBTQAI and BIPOC communities. I focus on empowering clients within these communities to help them understand possible treatments for their mental health concerns and provide a therapeutic approach to care.
I am a warm, open-minded, and compassionate clinician who values collaboration and respect in every session. I provide both talk therapy and medication management, tailoring care to each person’s unique needs and goals. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a supportive, client-centered style, helping you navigate challenges while building resilience, personal strengths, and a sense of meaning in your life.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, ask questions about treatment, and feel empowered to make choices that support your mental health. Whether you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or both, I partner with you to develop a plan that works for your life, pace, and values.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Medford
Finding the right psychiatrist in Medford starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare Medford psychiatrists, look for training, listed specialties, and experience that match what you want support for.
Medford is a smaller community, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be limited. Virtual appointments can expand your search across New York and give you more choices for schedule, specialty, and fit. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for appointment availability, communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Medford 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 pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who may accept your insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are verified. You can browse profiles, compare 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.
