Hi! I’m Brenda Nettey! I have a deep passion for walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, religion/spirituality, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Please feel free to call me Sam. I'm originally from North Carolina and received my bachelor's degree in social work at Appalachian State. In 2022, I moved to Southwest Virginia and received my master's degree in social work from Radford University. Overall, I have 13 years of experience as a Social Worker in different capacities, including grief and loss, chronic illness, and burnout. My passion is working with adults and older adults navigating life changes.
I believe good mental health care begins with feeling heard. I’m Dr. Sylvia May, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I provide individualized and thoughtful care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, stress, and women’s mental health concerns.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on understanding the full picture of your health and your life. With experience in both psychiatric and primary care, I consider how emotional well-being, lifestyle, medications, relationships, and life circumstances may intersect.
Together, we will develop a plan that feels realistic for your life and reflects your concerns, priorities, and goals - not simply your diagnosis.
Hi, I’m Lois Ntiamoah, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized mental health care.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, personality disorders, and dementia-related behavioral concerns. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, and I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work together toward lasting emotional wellness.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
The most meaningful progress usually happens when therapy feels collaborative, down-to-earth, and paired with a healthy dose of sarcastic humor. If you value genuine warmth, absolute candor, and a practical, solution-focused approach to life's changing seasons, we'll get along great.
I specialize in partnering with driven, goal-oriented individuals who are ready to stop over-analyzing their roadblocks and start executing clear strategies. My clinical toolkit was built across a wide range of settings—from civilian clinics to VA hospitals and deployment environments—which taught me how to deliver actionable, real-world tools without wasting anyone's time.
When I’m off the clock, I am a mother, lover of working out - and ice cream, and a nature seeker who recharges anywhere from the beach to the mountains. I also have a massive soft spot for animals, especially my cat, Zach Morris, who firmly believes he runs my household.
If you're ready to cut through the noise and get to work, let's connect.
I have practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012 and I also hold the license for Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chesterfield
Searching for therapists in Chesterfield starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want care for. People look for therapy in Chesterfield for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, couples counseling, or another approach that fits what you want to work on.
In a smaller community like Chesterfield, nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Virginia cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care connected to your schedule and preferences. When reviewing therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like marriage counseling, couples counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Chesterfield can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before you start. Headway makes it easier to find a therapist in Chesterfield, VA who is accepting new patients and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. Nationally, Headway partners with many insurance plans, and you can confirm what coverage is available in Chesterfield before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
