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 Richmond
Finding psychiatrists in Richmond starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of mental health care. Psychiatric nurse practitioners may also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management in Richmond, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care style before booking.
Richmond offers a strong mix of in-person and virtual psychiatric care, with options across central neighborhoods and nearby areas like Midlothian and Mechanicsville. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so schedule, format, and follow-up cadence can matter. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand whether a psychiatrist focuses on evaluation, ongoing medication management, therapy, or a combination of care.
Psychiatric care in Richmond 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 out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find Richmond psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, appointment preferences, and care needs. You can review bios, see estimated costs after adding your insurance details, 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.
