Thoughtful, Collaborative Psychiatric Care

Finding the right mental health provider can make a meaningful difference in how you understand your symptoms and feel about treatment. Katie Smith, MSN, PMHNP-BC, provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults throughout Virginia via telehealth.

Katie brings 16 years of nursing experience, including extensive work in high-acuity emergency care and clinical leadership. Her background has shaped a calm, thoughtful approach to care and an appreciation for looking at the whole person, not simply a diagnosis or list of symptoms.

Katie works with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. She takes time to understand each patient’s history, experiences, lifestyle, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan.

Her approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychoeducation, supportive therapy, and CBT-based strategies when appropriate. Katie believes patients should understand the “why” behind their treatment and feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and actively participating in decisions about their care.

Conditions Commonly Treated

What to Expect

Your first appointment will include a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation exploring your current symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, previous treatment experiences, and goals for care. Together, you and Katie will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, psychoeducation, supportive strategies, and coordination with other members of your healthcare team when appropriate.

Follow-up appointments focus on monitoring your progress, evaluating how treatment is working, addressing side effects or concerns, and making thoughtful adjustments as your needs evolve.

Whether you’re seeking psychiatric care for the first time, reconsidering a previous diagnosis or treatment, or simply looking for a provider who will take the time to listen, Katie strives to create an environment where you feel heard, informed, and confident in your care.
