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 Newport News
Finding psychiatrists in Newport News starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health 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. Both psychiatry and therapy can be useful entry points, depending on what you want help with. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs.
In Newport News and the broader Hampton Roads area, your options may include local offices, virtual appointments, or psychiatrists who offer both. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their clinical focus, appointment style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Newport News 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 find psychiatrists who accept your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare availability, 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.
