Hello there, I am Tracie Grider, a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in the state of Virginia. I have over 18 years of nursing experience mostly working in the mental health care field. My approach to treatment is collaborating with my patients to improve their mental health by providing education on the disease process, and medication use, as well as supporting overall wellbeing. I am caring, empathetic, and easy to talk to. My experience working with mental illness makes me especially passionate about providing effective treatment. I also have years of experience working closely with the active-duty military and their dependents. My treatment population is adults 18 years and older. The first step is just reaching out!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the evaluation interview I use a combination of CBT and Medication management to promote health and wellness to help you reach a stable more productive life. I provide compassion and am committed to delivering care that is empathetic, non-judgmental, and patient-centered.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I can evaluate and treat persons struggling with mood disorders (depression, bipolar), anxiety disorders (panic, generalized anxiety, OCD, social anxiety), insomnia, PTSD, grief, and psychotic disorders.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Life can get hard, no matter how old you are or how “great” you appear to have it. Navigating through daily stressors can take a toll on you, and make it hard to concentrate at work and(or) school, communicate with your family and friends, and do the things you usually love. These stressors can include relationship concerns, peer conflicts, continuing to make “bad” decisions; unresolved childhood concerns, un-fulfillment at work, or difficulties dealing with past trauma. Whether you're looking to improve focus, manage anxiety, overcome trauma, or find balance, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered I love to work with anyone struggling to find stability and mental wellness in there life but just need some support.
