Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.


Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.


Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

Robert Bailey

Robert Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises. Note: Consultation appointments are only available during the following hours M-Th at 7pm and 7:15pm. Please ensure that you only select time slots in the above window.

As the founder of ArborLight Health & Wellness, PLLC, I provide virtual psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults throughout Virginia experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood concerns, and women's mental health concerns.


I am a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with more than 26 years of healthcare experience. I bring both psychiatric and medical insight to treatment.


This background is especially valuable when mental health symptoms overlap with sleep concerns, medical conditions, stress, or hormonal changes such as perimenopause. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and evidence-based, with treatment tailored to your symptoms, health history, and individual needs.
