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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Arlington

Finding OCD therapists in Arlington starts with looking for training that matches how obsessive-compulsive disorder is often addressed in care. OCD support may focus on intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rituals, avoidance, or anxiety that connects to specific fears. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach used for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD experience in their bios so you can choose someone whose background fits your needs.

Arlington has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Washington, DC, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to Virginia-licensed therapists. If you prefer in-person care, consider office location, commute time, and appointment availability. If virtual care fits your schedule better, look for therapists with session times that match your calendar. It can also help to read each therapist’s profile for details on how they describe OCD care, since listing OCD as an area of focus differs from naming specific ERP training or related methods.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway also accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, with coverage confirmed based on your plan and location, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
