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 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.
Hi, I am so glad you are here.
I’m Sydney. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing virtual care to adults across Virginia. I specialize in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and binge eating disorder. I welcome clients seeking an LGBTQIA+ provider. I also offer ADHD assessments for diagnosis and treatment. At this time, I am only accepting clients looking for a medication management provider.
My goal, though, is not just to prescribe medication and send you on your way. My goal is to be a long-term, trusted partner in helping you achieve a happy and fulfilling life. I do this by implementing individualized treatment plans that support your growth and overall well-being.
I’m not anti-medication, but I am thoughtful about its use. I blend the best of both allopathic medicine and evidence-informed interventions to create a treatment plan that’s as unique as you are. That might include medications, lifestyle shifts, and therapy.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. You are not a diagnosis or a checklist. You’re a whole person, and I meet you as such. Our work together is collaborative. I’ll always meet you where you are, whether that’s with medication support, psychoeducation, diagnostic clarity, or simply making space for you to process and be heard. We’ll work together to make choices that feel right for you, at your pace and on your terms.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 7 years working in behavioral health, offering personalized care through telehealth for adults and teens. I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood changes, and life stressors with a strengths-based approach, focusing on both symptom relief and personal growth. My goal is to provide medication management with supportive therapy in a collaborative, compassionate way. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you find clarity, balance, and confidence. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out today—I look forward to connecting with you.
I enjoy helping people feel better and with finding a better outlook on life. I offer problem-solving skills to help navigate life and the curveballs it can throw! Sometimes you may just need someone to "vent" to and offer an unbiased opinion on your situation. I am "down to earth" in my approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Finding the right psychiatrist in Virginia Beach starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how those medications are working over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe. If you're looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a qualified healthcare professional can help you understand which type of care may be appropriate for your needs. If you're primarily looking for talk therapy, a therapist or counselor may be a better match.
Virginia Beach is home to a large and diverse population, including active-duty military families and veterans stationed throughout the Hampton Roads area. Demand for psychiatric care here is high, and finding a provider who is accepting new patients and takes your insurance can take time. Reviewing a provider's bio, specialty areas, and appointment format — virtual or in-person — can help you narrow your options before reaching out.
Psychiatry sessions in Virginia Beach can be costly without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. 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.
