Getting to know Victoria Nelson-Laryea
Victoria Nelson-Laryea, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, individualized psychiatric care across the lifespan. She works with individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, psychosis, sleep difficulties, relationship concerns, and other mental health conditions.
Victoria takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by the whole person—including emotional, social, behavioral, and relational well-being. She believes in creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment.
Her approach may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, ongoing psychiatric follow-up, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals when appropriate. Victoria takes time to understand each patient's concerns, history, goals, and individual circumstances before developing a personalized treatment plan.
Whether you are seeking support for a new concern or looking for ongoing psychiatric medication management, Victoria's goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care while building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with patients toward greater stability, wellness, and quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Victoria takes a warm, compassionate, and patient-centered approach to psychiatric care. She takes time to listen and understand your concerns, history, goals, and individual circumstances before developing a personalized treatment plan.
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where you can discuss what you have been experiencing, ask questions, and work together to determine the best path forward. When appropriate, treatment may include medication management and ongoing follow-up.
Victoria believes you should feel heard, respected, and comfortable participating in decisions about your care. Her goal is not simply to treat symptoms, but to understand the whole person and provide thoughtful, individualized support throughout your care journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Victoria takes time to understand your symptoms, medical and mental health history, current medications, concerns, and treatment goals. This helps her develop a clear understanding of your needs and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include medication management, education about your condition and treatment options, and recommendations for ongoing psychiatric care. Follow-up visits focus on your progress, how you are responding to treatment, any concerns or side effects, and whether adjustments to your treatment plan are needed.
Victoria's practice focuses primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management rather than ongoing talk therapy. When therapy or another specialized service would be beneficial, she can help coordinate appropriate care or recommend additional resources.
Throughout the process, you can expect compassionate, collaborative care and the opportunity to ask questions and participate in decisions about your treatment.

More information on payments and coverage
We accept select insurance plans and also offer self-pay options. When applicable, our team can verify your insurance benefits before your appointment so you have a better understanding of your expected coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility.
Your actual cost may vary depending on your insurance plan, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and coverage for mental health services. Insurance verification is not a guarantee of payment by your insurance company.
For patients using insurance, please provide your current insurance information and card through the secure patient portal after scheduling so our team can review the information and help ensure your account is set up correctly.
If you do not have insurance or prefer to pay privately, self-pay options are available. We believe patients should have a clear understanding of their financial responsibility before receiving care whenever possible.
If you have questions about your coverage or payment responsibility, our team can provide guidance based on the information available to us, while your insurance company remains the final authority on your benefits and coverage.
