Great to meet you!

My name is Paula Gravitt. I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and proud Virginia Commonwealth University alum with eight years of experience in the mental health field. I enjoy helping people understand their mental health needs and providing them with the tools they need to live their best lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I primarily treat children and adolescents and enjoy working with families.

I provide evidence-based, wholistic treatment and work collaboratively with my patients and their families to understand their treatment goals.

My clinical interests include autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), challenging behaviors, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Along with medications, I encourage individual and family therapy when appropriate.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to work together as a team to identify your specific goals and create a treatment plan that works for you and fits into your life.
