Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Fredericksburg, VA

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia with 13 years of experience with children, teens, and adults. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and parenting/family issues. My biggest passion and area of expertise is in childhood trauma. In addition to working with adults in private practice, I have also worked with children as a School Social Worker for 10 years.

I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly a decade and bring a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I hold a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. These academic foundations, combined with years of hands-on experience, have shaped my compassionate, informed, and client-centered approach to therapy.

Most recently I was serving as a Licensed Clinical Therapist where I provided individual and group therapy in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. I am currently working at a small group practice treating adults with stress, anxiety, depression, ptsd, and more. I hold sessions on the weekend and in the morning one a week.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of authentic connection. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore difficult emotions, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.

Hello, my name is Dr. Paula Robinson, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and have several years of clinical experience working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions.

Over the past four years, I have provided care to patients dealing with disorders such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other complex mental health challenges. My approach to care focuses on creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where patients feel heard and empowered to participate in their treatment.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. My treatment approach combines evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, and collaborative care to help individuals achieve improved mental wellness and quality of life.

My goal is to partner with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports long-term stability, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re just getting through the day on autopilot? I work with children, teens, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, and the everyday stress that slowly piles up until something finally gives. Whether you’re in crisis or simply know something needs to change, therapy with me is a place to be honest, feel understood, and start building relief that actually lasts. I offer virtual therapy for clients located anywhere in South Carolina or Virginia, so you can join from home, work, or wherever you feel most comfortable.
