Valentina Kwarteng

You may be managing work, family, and everyday responsibilities while privately struggling. You don’t have to wait until everything feels unmanageable to seek support.

I’m Valentina Kwarteng, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering adult telehealth care throughout Virginia. My 14 years of nursing experience span community health, complex care coordination, and clinical leadership. I completed postgraduate psychiatric training at Purdue University Global.

I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and trauma-related concerns, with a particular interest in women’s mental health during pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal changes such as PMDD.

My background taught me that a treatment plan must work beyond the appointment—it needs to fit your responsibilities, resources, and priorities. I combine thorough psychiatric assessment, supportive therapy, and medication management when appropriate. We’ll discuss why a treatment may help, what to expect, and how we’ll know whether it’s working.

You can bring your questions, doubts, and previous treatment experiences. They belong in the conversation and help shape your care.

I make room for the things that can be difficult to say out loud. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or a diagnosis. We’ll work through your concerns, decide what support makes sense, and revisit what’s helping and what isn’t.

Your first session is a chance to tell your story without needing to have everything figured out. I’ll ask about your symptoms, health, past treatment, and what you hope will change. We’ll discuss my assessment and next steps, including whether medication may help, with time for your questions.
