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.

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.

Welcome!! I’m glad you’re here and ready to take this step toward your wellbeing.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other mood or stress-related conditions. In addition to these focus areas, I also support clients dealing with trauma, grief, panic disorders, OCD, relationship and family issues, maternal mental health, and cultural or identity-related stressors.

Fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, I value inclusivity and cultural understanding in my work. My goal is to make clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they take steps toward emotional well-being and resilience.

Hi! I'm Katie, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor with over 11 years of experience providing supportive care in the DMV. I graduated from Trinity University in 2015, and have been supporting clients with things like: Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, financial therapy, grief & loss, life transitions, OCD, stress, nutrition for mental wellness, and transformational change processes associated with fitness and sports performance.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner in rural Virginia, as well as, a decade abroad managing health programs, my experience includes acute crisis management, addiction medicine, community health, and maternal and child health. Medication management, therapy, and holistic care for depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, traumatic experiences, and bipolar disorders are my main areas of focus. Particular interest and expertise in working with children and families in foster care.

My practice is guided by two simple beliefs:

1. People heal when they feel truly seen.

2. We are as unique on the inside as we are on the outside.

I work with adolescents and adults on anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, burnout, and more. I have a particular interest in high-achieving women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and perimenopause—a combination I see often and that frequently flies under the radar for years.

Medication may be part of the plan. So might sleep, hormones, relationships, labs, supplements, breath work, therapy, diet, pharmacogenomic testing, and more. You're not a container we pop a pill into every day, but a dynamic human being, and together we'll figure out what actually moves the needle for you.

Before I became a nurse practitioner, I taught violin for over 25 years. I never expected that to matter later, but it turns out I'd spent decades practicing exactly the skills I use now: listening closely, meeting someone where they actually are, and trusting that healing—like learning—looks different for everybody.

I earned my Master's degree from Frontier Nursing University and am licensed in Virginia and Maryland. Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you're looking for a different perspective, I'd love to connect and learn how I can help you feel like the person you've always known you could be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 23 years of clinical experience and an approved supervisor to counseling residents. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mental Health Psychology in 2002 and a Master’s degree in Community/Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University in 2005. Before going into private practice, I spent several years working in community services supporting client mental health journeys. I currently work with adults, families, and adolescents. My specialty includes treating culturally diverse patients, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions/adjustment, sexual abuse, anger management, and serious mental illness.

In supporting a new client, we will begin at the client's point of readiness. We will address the client's mental health needs/symptoms with CBT, mindfulness certifications/other required clinical skills.

I have worked in community mental health settings for 18 years. I am skilled with the severely mentally ill population, and I have done significant work with children, adolescents and adults. I have moderate experience with autism and neurodivergence, as well as working with trauma and anxiety in this population.
