Hi, I’m Feitima Washington, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about helping people of all ages feel better and live healthier lives. At Journey to Healthy Living, I provide a safe, supportive space to work through challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use. My goal is to listen, understand, and help you find the tools to feel more balanced and in control. You're not alone — let’s take the first step together
I am a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, AGACNP-BC) providing integrative psychiatric care for adolescents and adults in Virginia. I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, burnout, mood disorders, and life transitions. My work centers on understanding the whole person, not just symptoms.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals across the life span achieve mental health balance and resilience. My approach combines medication management with supportive therapy, always tailored to your unique needs.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, collaborative, and practical. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, or life transitions, I provide evidence-based care in a welcoming environment where you can feel heard and supported.
Heather Figi, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes the best psychiatric care begins with understanding the person behind the symptoms.
Her practice is guided by two simple beliefs:
- People begin to heal when they feel truly seen.
- We are as unique on the inside as we are on the outside.
My goal is to understand you—not just your symptoms. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related conditions, burnout, and other mental health conditions. I also have a special interest in helping high-achieving women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and perimenopause.
During our visits we'll talk about what's been going on, what's worked (and what hasn't), and what you're hoping to get back to. Medication may be part of the plan, but we'll also look at things like sleep, lifestyle, hormones when appropriate, relationships, and other factors that affect mental health.
Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent more than 25 years teaching violin. Looking back, I realize I was learning skills I still use every day: listening carefully, meeting people where they are, and recognizing that everyone learns—and heals—in their own way.
I earned my Master's degree from Frontier Nursing University and am licensed to practice in Virginia and Maryland. Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you're looking for a fresh perspective, I hope you'll leave our first visit feeling heard and with a plan that makes sense for your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Norfolk, VA
Finding psychiatrists in Norfolk starts with understanding the type of care you want to explore. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people use one type of care while others work with both. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or a psychiatry consultation, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their background matches your needs.
Norfolk has local psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, Larchmont, and surrounding Hampton Roads communities, but local appointment supply may vary. Virtual visits can expand your options when nearby offices have limited openings or your schedule makes travel harder. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management visits than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and the bio details that explain communication style and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who take your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear availability for virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, compare bios, review estimated costs, 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.
