I have extensive training and experience working with individuals navigating stress, conflict, depression, relationship distress, grief, anxiety, social discomfort and anxiety.

Area of focus include:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Depression
  • Grief and loss

  • Couples counseling
  • Stress and burnout
  • Parenting challenges
  • Life transitions

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • 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.
