Hi. I'm Kris Wegman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have decades of experience working with clients with various behavioral health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I have had the privilege of working with Veterans for most of my career but have worked on the Civilian side, too.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals across the life span achieve mental health balance and resilience. My approach combines medication management with supportive therapy, always tailored to your unique needs.

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.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.
Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or the transitions that come with different stages of life. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change from an eclectic evidenced based approach that promotes hope, stability, and wellness, including faith-based perspective.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lynchburg
Searching for therapists in Lynchburg starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists and counselors in Lynchburg, VA may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or faith-informed counseling.
In a smaller city like Lynchburg, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Virginia. Some people prefer in-person counseling near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like marriage counseling, Christian counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Lynchburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Lynchburg, review detailed bios, and book directly when you find a fit.
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.
