Sydney Kiker

𝐇𝐢, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 I’m Sydney. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner providing telehealth to adults across Virginia. At this time, I am accepting patients for medication management only. My goal, however, is never to just write a prescription and send you on your way. My goal is to be a long-term partner in helping you achieve a life that feels meaningful and manageable. I do this by implementing individualized treatment plans that support your growth and overall well-being. I view medication as one valuable tool among many. I blend the best of both medication and other evidence-based interventions to create a treatment plan that's as unique as you are. That might include medications, lifestyle changes, and therapy. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. You are not a diagnosis or a checklist. I respect you as a whole person, and that's how we'll approach your care: collaboratively, at your pace, meeting you where you are. Whether that's medication support, education, diagnostic clarity, or simply making space to be heard. My areas of specialty include: • 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃, 𝐎𝐂𝐃, 𝐏𝐓𝐒𝐃, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫. • 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭® 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 to understand how your unique genetic makeup may affect your response to medications • 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 with close follow-up during pregnancy and postpartum • 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠; to help identify individuals who may benefit from referral for evaluation • Affirming care for 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐𝐈𝐀+ 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 • A note on fit: Your safety is my highest priority. Conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, active substance use disorders, and anorexia/bulimia, as well as symptoms such as aggression or self-harm requiring crisis support, typically need a level of monitoring and resources beyond what my practice can provide.
