Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained—and nothing seems to be helping the way you hoped—you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of what they need next.
I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, and life stressors, and who are ready for a thoughtful, personalized approach to care. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in healthcare as both a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner.
Dr. Victoria Benson, DNP, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, is a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) with 17 years of experience in health care and 4 years of experience in psychiatry treatments.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth care across Texas. I’m passionate about helping clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their mental health journey. I believe every patient deserves a safe, judgment-free space to explore their challenges, build coping skills, and work toward emotional balance.
I prioritize collaboration and open communication, so you’ll always be an active participant in your care. My goal is to help you feel confident, empowered, and supported as you navigate your mental health journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Richmond, TX
Searching for psychiatrists in Richmond starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and can support concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and life transitions. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match the concerns you want to address.
Richmond is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Pecan Grove, Stafford, or the larger Houston region. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still keeping care covered through your insurance plan when your benefits apply. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each profile for appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their approach to care.
Psychiatric care in Richmond can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your insurance. You can enter your plan details, review estimated costs, read profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
