Telepsychiatry in Virginia

Psychiatric care for adults in Virginia, without the commute

NCNE provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management to adults across Virginia through secure telehealth. Whether you live in a city or a rural area, care starts with a 60-minute video evaluation and continues with focused follow-up visits — dose adjustments, side-effect monitoring, refills, and coordination with your therapist or primary care provider.

Psychiatric medication management in Virginia, by telehealth

Psychiatric medication management is the ongoing part of care: starting a medication where one is warranted, adjusting the dose, watching for side effects, handling refills, and deciding together when to hold, change or come off a medication. At NCNE it is delivered to Virginia residents entirely by video, so follow-up visits fit around work rather than around a drive. It is not the same as a pharmacy medication review or a residential medication-administration program — it is prescriber-led psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma and related conditions, and it works the same way in every state NCNE serves.

A psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Virginia, accepting new patients

Care at NCNE is provided by Laura Gabriel, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who holds an active license in Virginia and provides every visit herself. A psychiatric nurse practitioner evaluates, diagnoses and prescribes, and follows the same evidence base a psychiatrist does; the difference is training pathway, not the care you receive. Read more about what a psychiatric nurse practitioner is and how that compares with a psychiatrist. New patients in Virginia can usually be seen within days rather than the months a waitlist often means.
