Hello! My name is Melissa Sharp, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in treating individuals aged 6 through middle-aged adults who are navigating mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, ADHD, and life transitions.
My name is Kenatta Bethea and I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I have multiple years of experience in the mental health field ranging from outpatient and community mental health, inpatient, crisis management, and residential treatment. I am passionate about providing mental health treatment to people with anxiety, depression, and neurodivergent challenges.
I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years experience in health care. My goal is to help patients live their best lives by treating the whole person. We will work together to determine the treatment plan that best suits your individual needs. I will provide individualized care, not "one size fits all" approach to medication management.
My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.
I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.
You’ve taken an important step in seeking care, and I’m glad you’re here. I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered as we explore what’s working, what isn’t, and strategies that fit your unique needs - at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), taking an integrative approach that considers both your physical and emotional well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Leesburg, VA
Finding the right psychiatrist in Leesburg starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and support. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. As you compare Leesburg psychiatrists, look for training, listed specialties, and profile details that match the kind of support you want.
In a smaller city like Leesburg, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can help expand your options across Virginia. Psychiatry visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Leesburg can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are ready to see new patients. You can compare profiles, see estimated costs after adding insurance details, 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.
