I'm Beatrice Onifade, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and founder of Calm Horizons Behavioral Health. With over 5,000 hours of psychiatric practice, a background in intensive care nursing, and experience in leadership at a children's psychiatric hospital, I bring a unique combination of clinical expertise, compassion, and whole-person care to mental health treatment.
What makes me different? My experience extends beyond routine psychiatric appointments. Working in psychiatric hospital settings and previously as an ICU nurse has strengthened my ability to recognize complex symptoms, understand the connection between physical and mental health, and develop thoughtful, individualized treatment plans. I don't believe in rushing appointments, treating patients as diagnoses, or prescribing medication without understanding the person behind the symptoms.
I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, ADHD treatment, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related conditions, and medication management. Whether you're struggling with racing thoughts, poor concentration, panic attacks, emotional exhaustion, mood changes, or medications that haven't worked as expected, I take time to listen, evaluate your concerns, and explore treatment options with you.
My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care, medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and practical coping strategies to improve your daily functioning and emotional well-being.
Through convenient telehealth appointments, I serve patients in multiple states, including Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Washington.
You deserve more than a prescription—you deserve to be heard, understood, and supported. Let's work together toward better mental health, renewed confidence, and lasting wellness.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I am also a board certified adult nurse practitioner for over 12 years. I began my nursing career graduating from university of MD with my bachelors, and then attended Johns Hopkins University for my masters. I decided to further my education by attending Brandman University to obtain my Doctorate and psychiatric mental health certification in 2018.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Colonial Heights
Finding psychiatrists in Colonial Heights starts with knowing what type 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 include an evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments based on your care plan. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or other concerns that may benefit from support from a prescriber.
Colonial Heights is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in the broader Richmond area. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer the session format that works for your schedule. Psychiatric visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their needs. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s clinical focus, communication style, and approach before you book.
Psychiatric care in Colonial Heights can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review bios 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.
