Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Hampton, VA

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe mental health care should be collaborative and centered on who you are as an individual. I support adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and more. Through trauma-informed care, evidence-based practices, individualized treatment plans, comprehensive medication management, and therapeutic support, I create a judgment-free space where we can show up authentically and work together toward meaningful progress. My background includes experience as an outpatient psychiatric provider, inpatient psychiatric registered nurse, and in community reproductive health, allowing me to bring a broad and well-rounded perspective to the care I provide. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Sociology, which have shaped my understanding of the many varying factors that impact mental health.

Hello, I am Kelli S. Palmer, LCSW, CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional) and I have specialized in trauma treatment, particularly in the military population, for the better part of a decade. I have a passion for multifaceted creative interventions and have a background in cognitive processing therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and somatic-based interventions.

Life has taught me the we often need others along our journey "as no man (or woman) is an island." I received my bachelor's degree from Old Dominion University and master's degree from Norfolk State University. I have over 12 years working in the mental health field. I began working with people who have intellectual disabilities, then became a case manager, provided intensive in-home services/mental health skill building to now, doing what I love, THERAPY.
