My name is Beth DeYoung, and I’m a nurse practitioner with a background in mental health and family practice. I work primarily with adult and older adult clients experiencing anxiety and depression, offering both therapy and medication management when appropriate. I’m especially interested in helping people navigate life transitions, chronic health conditions, and the everyday stressors that can build up over time.
Actively certified in psychiatry and family practice supports my approach to integrated mental health care. I bring to you over 21 years of experience as an NP. Integrating the identification of mental health disorders and physical disorders such as low testosterone, hormone imbalance, thyroid disorders and vitamin deficiency are key steps to improve overall health. Focused care on the mind and bodies interconnected factors is my passion.
My ideal client is someone who is open to the life-changing, transformative solutions that modern psychiatry and mental health can offer. My practice is virtual by design, meeting clients on their terms, during non-traditional hours when they have time to focus on themselves and their needs.

I'm a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner focused on clear, supportive care that listens to your needs. The idea for Hope Clinic originated in the small town of Hope, KY and is built on serving others. Currently, appointments are by telehealth.

Frequently asked questions
Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kentucky
Finding the right psychiatrist in Kentucky starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) provide similar services, including prescribing and managing medication. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, either provider type may be a good fit. On Headway, you can review detailed bios to learn about each provider's background, specialties, and approach before booking.
Kentucky has a wide range of mental health providers, but availability can vary depending on where you live. Residents in Louisville and Lexington tend to have more in-person options, while those in smaller cities or rural areas may benefit from virtual appointments. Consider what matters most — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers flexible scheduling, or practices near your area.
Psychiatry sessions in Kentucky can be costly without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Confirming your coverage on Headway is a good first step toward finding a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
