Therapist

My favorite moments in therapy are when I get to witness someone connect all the dots - and that doesn't always happen in session! I work with people who are curious about themselves, their relationships, and their communities. As an art therapist, I like looking for different ways of solving old problems, finding beauty in the unexpected, and creating an emotional language that resonates with you.

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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Haymarket, VA


You may be someone who usually handles things well. You are responsible, capable, and used to figuring things out—but relationships can bring up reactions that are much harder to manage.

I work with adults who find themselves overthinking conversations, struggling with boundaries, questioning their decisions, repeating painful relationship patterns, or feeling stuck between what they want and what others expect from them.

With over 10 years of experience, I offer a warm, direct, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I will listen carefully, but I will also ask questions, notice patterns, and help you understand what keeps getting in the way of the relationships and life you want.
