Great to meet you! My name is Umu (She/Her), and I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in integrative, functional, metabolic, and nutritional psychiatry, as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations for adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing cognitive and executive functioning challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, sexual health concerns—including premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, dyspareunia, and vaginismus—and hormonal changes that may impact mental health, including testosterone support and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when clinically appropriate.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 16 years of experience working with adults from all backgrounds. I provide medication management and therapy with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, and insomnia. My goal is to help you feel better in your daily life with care that is clear, supportive, and tailored to your needs.
I started my practice, Get Your Power Back, because I believe people deserve mental health care without judgment, pressure, or feeling rushed. I take time to explain your options, answer questions, and create a plan that makes sense for you. Many clients come to me because they’re overwhelmed, not sleeping well, or unsure whether medication could help. Together, we work step‐by‐step so you always feel informed and in control.
My approach blends evidence‐based treatment with genuine connection. Clients describe me as direct, warm, and easy to talk to. Whether you’re seeking help for mood changes, stress, trauma, or chronic sleep issues, I’m here to support you with practical tools and a treatment plan that fits your life.
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.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience in both general psychiatry and addiction medicine. My background spans a wide range of mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and substance use — and I bring a deeply holistic perspective to every patient I work with. I offer telehealth care with flexible scheduling, including early morning appointments starting at 7:30am for those who need care before their workday begins.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lynchburg
Finding the right psychiatrist in Lynchburg, VA starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing treatment. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available on Headway.
Lynchburg and the surrounding Central Virginia area have a limited number of practicing psychiatrists, which can make the search feel difficult. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond what's available locally. When reviewing providers, consider their areas of focus, the conditions they treat, and whether their approach matches what you're looking for. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style before booking.
Psychiatry sessions in Lynchburg can be expensive without insurance — but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
