Hayley Johnson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 18 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.

Kalise Weeks

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I run Simply JST Counseling alongside my full-time work as a school counselor — which means I come to every therapy session with eyes wide open about what adolescents and young adults are actually dealing with, not just what gets reported in an intake form.

I'm a Black female LPC trained at Virginia State University, and I bring cultural awareness to my work — especially for clients navigating identity, community expectations, and the particular challenges of being a young person figuring things out in today's world. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, substance use, and the complicated work of knowing yourself.

My approach is direct and warm — I hold you accountable and I hold space for you at the same time.

Sometimes just getting through the day can feel like a full-time job. Finding a mental health provider who truly understands you may seem out of reach, but it’s absolutely possible. Before anything else, I’m human. I’m also a woman, born overseas and shaped by the diversity of a Southern metropolitan city. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am passionate about partnering with patients as they move toward greater health, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to navigate it all alone. You can exhale- we’ll take it from here, together.
