Dr. Nora Elnahas, APRN, FNP, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Family Nurse Practitioner
VA
Many of my clients come to me after turning to substances or other habits to cope with stress, anxiety, or low mood. They’ve often tried to manage things on their own or sought help before but are still searching for something that actually helps. They want to understand what’s happening, regain a sense of control, and feel better in a sustainable way. I specialize in medication management for addiction, anxiety, and mood concerns. Being dual board-certified in psychiatry and family medicine allows me to look at both the brain and the body when tailoring treatment. My research background keeps me focused on what the evidence shows works best, but I also care deeply about how those treatments fit real life. I believe care should be practical and helpful. My style is collaborative- I like to explain options, answer questions, and make sure the plan makes sense for you. My goal is for treatment to feel worthwhile and focused on real progress.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I focus on clear, practical medication management with an emphasis on understanding what’s working and what isn’t. I aim to be straightforward, collaborative, and realistic about options, with treatment plans that make sense for everyday life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We start with a comprehensive initial evaluation to review your history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. From there, we develop a medication plan together and adjust as needed over follow-up visits based on response and tolerability.
