Are you seeking compassionate care combined with clinical expertise? My name is Teena and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 20+ years of experience in the healthcare industry. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings both as a Behavioral Health RN and as a Psychiatric NP, and I possess "real world" experience treating psychiatric patients across the lifespan. I love my job! As a PMHNP, my focus is medication management. I will work closely with you to find the best medication regimen for your mental health needs. We will also discuss other aspects of your health including sleep, diet, exercise, stress reduction techniques, and nutritional supplementation. Although my focus is on medication management, I offer brief supportive therapy to empower you to take action to achieve your mental wellness goals.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During your intake appointment, we'll start with brief introductions, followed by a thorough review of your health history (including your submitted intake paperwork) and a thoughtful discussion of your current medications and lifestyle factors. Together, weâll explore the specific challenges youâre facing. We will clarify psychiatric diagnoses to determine evidence-based treatment options, and I will assist you in choosing medications and/or therapeutic interventions tailored to your needs. Follow-up appointments provide ongoing medication management and supportive therapy, helping you build confidence, find balance, and feel empowered in your healing journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
GBH prides itself on its high levels of clinical competence and customer service (bedside manner matters). Additionally, telehealth appointments offer a convenient way for you to meet with your provider (me). We offer limited in-person appointments at our Manakin-Sabot location each Wednesday. All scheduling is completed ONLINE through the Grow Therapy portal. Please note that we are unable to answer telephone calls while with patients, so the portal is the best way to view availability and book an appointment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I primarily work with adults seeking support for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances (such as insomnia). I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to take an active role in their care, engaged in the process, and open to collaboration and communication. Clients who are actively engaged in their care achieve the best results! Please know that GBH is a small outpatient practice best suited for individuals who are stable and able to engage in routine care. We are not able to provide the level of support required for higher-acuity concerns, such as suicidal thoughts, mania, psychosis, or the need for 24/7 crisis availability. Additionally, we do not provide detox services or medication-assisted therapy (MAT) at this time. GBH looks forward to establishing a long-term professional relationship with you. Please free free to review more in-depth practice information on our website (Goochland Behavioral Health). Your questions are always welcome.
Supportive
Medication may not be right for everyone, but if you've come this far in considering an appointment, you may be ready for real change. The right medication could be the key to making that change possible.

Teena has been great! She's understanding and takes the time to listen. She thoroughly explains things and makes it easy to talk about what's working and what's not working. She adjusts my treatment slowly and safely, which I really appreciate. I'm very grateful that I found her as a provider, it's been such a relief!

Teena was more than helpful! She was very friendly and personable and was quick to get on board with the medication management I already had in place! She also made such a great effort in actually getting to know me in our first session and was very supportive of my future plans! Would definitely recommend Teena to anyone!
