Hayley Johnson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Haymarket, VA


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. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.

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.

Therapist

Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!
