Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.

I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.

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 Reston

Finding psychiatrists in Reston starts with knowing whether psychiatric care fits what you need. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and some other prescribing clinicians can diagnose mental health conditions and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through behavioral approaches. Both can be useful entry points, depending on the care you are looking for. If you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see how closely they match your needs.

Reston has a smaller local mental health care market than nearby Washington, DC, and some parts of northern Virginia, so virtual psychiatry can expand your options. You may want an office near Reston Town Center, Wiehle-Reston East, or another nearby area, or you may prefer virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Psychiatric medication management visits are usually 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 approach, appointment format, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Reston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you find Reston psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance details. You can compare profiles, check availability, see estimated costs before booking, and choose a psychiatrist who fits your needs, schedule, and plan.

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.
