Hi, I'm Arthur Roehr, DNP, PMHNP-BC , a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner treating adults through telepsychiatry.
I specialize in helping people navigate with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and sleep problems.
Your first evaluation with me is a full sixty minutes, and you see me at every appointment after it, not whoever is available that week. We track your progress with the same validated measures each visit, so whether the treatment is working is a question with an answer rather than an impression.
Most people who book with me want two things: a clear answer about what's actually going on, and a medication plan that works without turning their life into an experiment. That's what the first visit is for. I take a full history, explain the options in plain language, and we decide together, including the option of not starting a medication yet.
I completed my doctorate at the University of San Diego and spent my early career at a federally qualified health center, caring for patients who had been failed by every other part of the system. I see patients in English and Spanish.
Hello, my name is Denise Cole and I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing medication management services for anxiety/depressive/bipolar disorders, OCD, and PTSD. I recognize the importance of mental health on overall health. I look forward to helping you work towards your goals and achieve wellness. Let’s get started.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fredericksburg
Finding the right psychiatrist in Fredericksburg starts with knowing what kind of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and related concerns. Both therapy and psychiatry can be useful entry points, depending on your needs, so it helps to look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties match what you want support with.
Fredericksburg is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Virginia cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a psychiatrist who fits your schedule, preferences, and care goals. Psychiatric visits, including medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on specialties, appointment format, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Fredericksburg 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 visit. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details for a cost estimate, compare bios, and book directly when you are 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.
