I'm a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with individuals managing chronic pain and substance use disorders, providing integrated support that addresses both physical and mental health needs. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD with a focus on individuals over 18 years old.
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.
Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.
My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.
Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.
I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.
My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.
I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.
I am social worker who practices telehealth psychotherapy. My specialty is with neurodivergent individuals, people in ethical non-monogamous relationships, the kink/BDSM community, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I also specialize in working with adults who have been marginalized by their body, gender, and sexuality.
My name is Jericia Johnson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over two decades experience in community mental health. I hope my practice working with me provides you a safe space to unbox, unload, sort through and discard tough emotions, pain spots, or soul injuries that are preventing you from moving forward on your journey.
What does it take to be the hero of your own story? Difficulties don't have to be insurmountable barriers, but opportunities for growth. Learn from the more trying times, adapt to changes and persist despite the odds. Resilience shapes your character and sets a precedent for future challenges. It can be hard to adopt a proactive mindset when life is happening nonstop around you but I would like to build an authentic connection with you to explore making some positive and lasting changes.
My practice is eclectic in nature and is informed by many different modalities to include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy, play therapy but always trauma-informed and person-centered. I will meet you where you are, and together, we will create a plan for your treatment that is evidenced-based and celebrates your personal triumphs.
I have experience working with all ages, from 3yo to end of life concerns. I have focused my career on crisis intervention and debriefing traumatic events so that extreme or critical incidents in life don't develop into psychiatric disorders that become debilitating in nature. Prevention, proactivity, collaboration and building or strengthening connections in a therapeutic environment can help you get you to where you want to be.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Richmond starts with identifying what you want to work on. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals seek support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, coming out, gender identity, or the effects of minority stress. A provider with specific training or experience in LGBTQIA+-affirming care can offer a space where you can talk openly about these topics without having to explain the basics of your identity or experiences.
Richmond has a range of licensed providers — including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. When evaluating a provider, consider reading their bio to learn about their approach, areas of focus, and background. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a session.
Therapy in Richmond can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
