Accepting Sentra Health Plan Insurance and Peak Health
I've spent my career in community mental health, working with adults, teens, couples, and families navigating real, everyday challenges - relationship stress, family conflict, financial pressure, and anxiety. I know that asking for help isn't easy, and I don't take that lightly. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Virginia, and I offer telehealth sessions so you can get support from anywhere in the state - no commute, no waiting rooms. I accept most major insurance plans including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser, Carelon, and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, so cost is rarely a reason to put this off.
I use a variety of therapy models based on our assessment of your needs along with your goals. I am here to help guide you through your journey and provide tools and education to improve your quality of life.
My name is Rachel, and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I received my associates degree in nursing from Blue Ridge Community College, and I received my bachelors and masters degrees in nursing from James Madison University. I received a post graduate certificate in psych mental health from Shenandoah University, and I am currently enrolled in classes to obtain my doctor of nursing practice degree from James Madison University. I have worked as a registered nurse in state psychiatric facilities since 2018, and I became a nurse practitioner in 2025.
Clients should know that I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can openly discuss their concerns. I understand that seeking mental health treatment can be difficult, and I strive to build trusting relationships through empathy, respect, and active listening.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe in treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. I work collaboratively with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education, supportive therapy, and practical coping strategies to promote lasting wellness.
Clients can expect me to be compassionate, approachable, and dedicated to helping them navigate life's challenges while empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey.
I believe in the inherent wisdom and strength within all human beings and I utilize a number of approaches to reveal that wisdom and strength within my clients.
Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.
I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner. Thus allowing me to create the holding space my clients need.
I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.
Life is hitting you hard right now and maybe you're stuck, feel alone, struggle accomplishing tasks, struggle with the way your mind works, or you feel like there's not much meaning in your life. I am Michael Sheffield and alongside obtaining Master's degree, I have been working with people for 4 years. My life and training lead me towards these challenges, my listed treatment areas, as well as self-judgement, relationship stress, pessimism, anger, life building, workaholism, & chronic pain.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Norfolk
Searching for ADHD therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and patterns that affect school, work, or relationships. Some therapists use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or coaching-informed strategies. Medication management is different and is handled by psychiatrists or other qualified prescribers. Adults, teens, and children may also need different types of ADHD support, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, age groups, and approach before you book.
In a mid-size city like Norfolk, your options may include therapists near downtown, Ghent, Ocean View, or nearby Hampton Roads communities, along with virtual appointments across Virginia. Virtual care can expand your choices if local appointment times are limited or if you want a therapist with experience in both ADHD and common co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe session structure. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work with ADHD day to day, not just whether ADHD appears on their specialty list.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
