Dr. Charles Beasley

Dr. Britt Beasley, a North Carolina native, earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then moved to Richmond, Virginia, where he completed a Master’s degree in Neurobiology and a Doctor of Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine. Dr. Beasley pursued his residency in general psychiatry at Mount Sinai in Manhattan.

Following residency, Dr. Beasley worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Philadelphia and served as a Clinical Associate at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where he taught medical students and psychiatry residents. During his time in Philadelphia, he co-founded a private practice alongside another Christian psychiatrist and a team of Christian therapists. Together, they partnered with local churches to provide mental health care rooted in biblical principles while collaborating with church leaders.

After nine years in Philadelphia, Dr. Beasley returned to Richmond two years ago, bringing with him extensive experience in integrating faith and science within psychiatric care. His practice reflects a commitment to addressing mental health holistically, combining his expertise in neurobiology with a compassionate, faith-informed approach to treatment.

As a psychiatrist with a background in neurobiology and Christian faith, my approach to care is deeply integrative, blending evidence-based psychiatric practices with an understanding of the spiritual dimensions of mental health. Grounded in neurobiological principles, I emphasize the interconnectedness of the mind and body, using this knowledge to inform personalized treatment plans that address both physiological and psychological factors. My Christian faith shapes my practice by fostering a compassionate, empathetic, and purpose-driven approach to care. I respect the diverse spiritual beliefs of my patients and, when appropriate, incorporate their faith traditions into therapy to enhance resilience, hope, and healing. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients can explore their mental health challenges holistically. This dual framework allows me to support individuals not only in managing symptoms but also in finding deeper meaning and strength in their journey toward wellness.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with a sense of empowerment, clarity, and actionable steps tailored to their unique needs. My approach integrates neurobiological insights with a compassionate understanding of the human spirit, fostering both scientific precision and holistic care. Clients often gain a deeper awareness of the root causes of their challenges, practical strategies to address symptoms, and tools to enhance resilience, such as stress management techniques or cognitive reframing. For those who value spiritual exploration, sessions may also include discussions on finding meaning and purpose through faith. Ultimately, clients can anticipate a collaborative environment where their goals are prioritized, and they are equipped with personalized resources for sustained mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
