As a Stanford-trained psychiatrist, I work closely with Dr. Sethi at Metabolic Psychiatry Labs (MPL) to manage serious mental illness conditions including bipolar, depression, binge eating disorder, and psychosis. While I am trained in multiple types of psychotherapy, including CBT, psychodynamic, DBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems. I believe in treating the root cause of mental illness. I provide supportive therapy around your metabolic and psychiatric conditions using different therapeutic approaches.
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.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.
My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.
As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.
Hi there! I'm Dr Esmie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and PhD, Research Psychologist with more than three decades of professional and lived experience. I've lived much of my life in England and California and now currently reside in the DMV state of Virginia. I bring a broad multicultural perspective to my work.serving individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural, social, and spiritual backgrounds.
My clinical practice integrates evidence-based approaches, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions. I have worked extensively with clients navigating trauma, life transitions, relational conflict, stress, and emotional challenges, helping them move toward healing and personal growth.
I believe meaningful change occurs when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I strive to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. Through collaboration, practical tools, and compassionate guidance, I help clients develop insight, strengthen resilience, and build healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.
Above all, I value human dignity and authentic connection. I believe credentials may open doors, but character, empathy, and genuine care sustain lasting transformation.
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.
As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Virginia 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 medication. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, either provider type may be a good fit. If you're looking for talk therapy without medication, a therapist may be a better match.
Virginia has a wide range of psychiatric providers, but availability and insurance acceptance vary by region. Whether you're in Fairfax, Norfolk, Woodbridge, or Fredericksburg, it helps to narrow your search by the factors that matter most — such as a provider's specialty, whether they offer virtual appointments, and whether they accept your specific plan. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach before you book.
Psychiatry sessions in Virginia can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
