Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Stephens City, VA

I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Mente Serena Counseling. I hold a B.S. in Psychology and a M.A in Forensic and Legal Psychology and a M.A. in Counseling. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults across different settings. As the daughter of Dominican immigrant parents, I understand how culture, family, and life experiences shape who we are. I now primarily support teens and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stress, and I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel seen and understood.

I work with adults from all backgrounds and experiences. I will help you achieve your goals, reduce symptoms, and develop the life you envision.

I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.

Hello, How are you? My name is Latane Flanagan, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Additionally, I've worked in healthcare for close to 10 years. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use in women, men, children, and families. I am certified in Psychopharmacology from the Neuroscience Education Institute, Brainspotting psychotherapy, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the Triple-P Parenting Program. Thank you for reading and please message with questions or concerns.

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.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds things together for everyone else. I work with teens and adults who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are insightful and thoughtful people who want more than quick coping strategies — they want to understand themselves more deeply and experience real, lasting change.

I'm Cindy, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner devoted to helping you navigate life's complexities and achieve mental wellness. I specialize in medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. Additionally, I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, treatment, and medication management, along with referrals for psychotherapy and other services.

As a therapist, I believe in your story and your individual experience. A space that is safe, comfortable, & free of judgement is essential for your success. It is important that you are in control of your own therapeutic experience, and I believe my role as a therapist is to serve as a guide & emotional support for you through your own journey. To provide a more authentic process and promote psycho-education, I aim to actively engage with you through discussions and person-centered support. “Pain is real, but so is hope”, and that is the main goal of my therapeutic approach: instill hope.
