Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


I don't go through the motions — I go the extra mile. That's been true for 25 years, and it's the standard I hold myself to with every single person I work with.

I'm Hawley Jennifer Campbell — a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with clinical experience spanning Women's Health, Obstetrics, Emergency Medicine, and psychiatric care. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, insomnia, and perinatal mental health.

My clients leave feeling heard, understood, and finally clear on what's been driving how they feel.

Whether you're looking for medication management, collaborative care with your therapist, or you're just starting out or ready to go deeper — I'd love to connect.

Vida Robb

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


Welcome to a space of care, balance, and renewal. I’m Vida Robb, a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience and a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I specialize in adult, adolescent, and child psychiatry, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for challenges such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, and schizophrenia.

My approach is holistic and personalized. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while honoring each individual’s unique story, culture, and goals. Whether you’re overcoming obstacles, seeking stability, or striving for growth, I tailor treatment plans to meet your needs and walk with you every step of the way. Patients often describe me as approachable and down-to-earth, and I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Outside of my work, I’m a proud mother of three preteen daughters. Whether we’re biking, roller skating, or exploring new destinations, family life inspires my passion for helping others live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Above all, my goal is to ease the fears or uncertainties you may feel about seeking help. From our first meeting, you’ll be met with compassion, professionalism, and a commitment to your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward healing and a healthier future.

Joanne Assarsson

Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
