Getting to know Vanessa Thompson
Welcome! I'm Vanessa Thompson, CRNP-PMH.
As an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my approach to mental health care is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each person's unique experience. I hold a Master's degree in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Walden University.
Currently, I am licensed and credentialed to provide care in Maryland (MD) only and, unfortunately, I am unable to see patients residing in any other state. With experience in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, I am committed to providing individualized, evidence-based care tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges, my goal is to empower you with the tools, support, and care you deserve to thrive.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that healing begins with building a genuine and trusting relationship, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, incorporating medication management and psychotherapy techniques where appropriate.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I understand seeking help can feel vulnerable, and I’m here to make this process as comfortable and empowering as possible. I will listen without judgment, support your mental wellness, and work with you to build a foundation for lasting health. I look forward to supporting your healing journey!

This was my third visit, and I’m really glad I came back. She made me feel heard and understood—again. She took time to check in on how things have been going, adjusted my meds carefully, and explained everything in a way that made sense. I feel like I’m in good hands and truly supported on this journey."

At first, I thought the appointment was going to be alright. The psychiatrist seemed nice initially, but as the session went on, she came across as nonchalant and uninterested. This was especially disappointing because I was genuinely seeking support for my mental health. After the visit, I contacted her a few days later to ask that information be sent to my provider, something she had told me she would do. I never received a response, and my call was never returned. There’s no other way to get in touch with her, which only added to the frustration. I felt ignored and unsupported during a time when I was trying to get help. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this provider based on the lack of follow-through and poor communication.

Highly recommend to anyone seeking thoughtful and effective psychiatric care!

My twin teenage children have struggled with anxiety for years, and Ms. Vanessa has been a huge help in managing it. She has helped them identify the triggers and patterns of their anxiety and has given them the tools to better cope with it in their day-to-day life. The combination of therapy and medication has immensely been transformative. I am thankful for the progress they’ve made with her help.
