Medication Management Therapists in Newport News, VA

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I evaluate, diagnose and treat patients with mental health disorders. This includes medication management when appropriate.

Finding the right medication can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our providers take the time to understand your story, your symptoms, and your goals. Together, we’ll explore options, make thoughtful adjustments, and check in regularly to be sure your treatment truly supports you. At Balance, medication management is about more than prescriptions—it’s about helping you feel better, with care that’s steady, supportive, and designed around you.

We provide psychological care that includes close collaboration with prescribing providers to support effective medication management when medication is part of treatment. Our approach integrates psychotherapy with ongoing monitoring of symptoms, side effects, and overall functioning to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care. We work with clients to understand how medication fits within their broader treatment plan, while also focusing on evidence-based therapeutic strategies to address emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns. The goal is to optimize outcomes through a well-coordinated, team-based approach to mental health care.

Medication management involves the careful oversight of psychiatric medications to ensure they are effectively addressing your mental health needs. Our psychiatrist provides guidance on medication options, monitors side effects, and adjusts treatment plans as necessary. This collaborative approach aims to optimize your mental health treatment and support your overall recovery. MAT/MOUD can also be used to reduce cravings and withdrawals for substance use disorders.

Dr. Baumgardner works with a talented and experienced prescriber. Together they can provide seamless care for you if you need medicine as well as therapy.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (a division of HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
