Mental Health

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. At Direct Wellness RVA in Midlothian, Virginia, Grace Beers, PA-C, MSPAS, and her team provide support that goes beyond prescriptions or quick check-ins. With longer appointment times, a root-cause approach, and collaboration with trusted local therapists, you get care designed to help you feel understood and supported every step of the way. Call today to schedule a mental health consultation or use the online scheduling option when you’re ready.

What does care for mental health include?

Mental health care at Direct Wellness RVA includes support for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other concerns that really interfere with daily life. 

Instead of a short, surface-level visit, you’ll have extended time to share your experiences and challenges. That allows Grace to gain a deeper understanding of what’s happening, from life stressors to sleep habits, and how they impact your overall well-being.

Care may involve medication (when appropriate), counseling recommendations, and support in making lifestyle adjustments that can strengthen your mental wellness. The goal is always whole-person care that looks at root causes, not just symptoms.

What mental health issues can be addressed?

Mental health concerns show up in many ways, and they can affect how you think, feel, and function in everyday life. 

Anxiety may cause racing thoughts, restlessness, or constant worry that makes it hard to focus. 

Depression often brings low mood, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty finding motivation. 

PTSD can involve intrusive memories, nightmares, hypervigilance, or avoiding situations that trigger reminders of trauma.

These conditions can impact everything from work and relationships to physical health. Left untreated, symptoms often worsen, but with the right support, you can regain balance and stability.

At Direct Wellness RVA, mental health care looks at the full picture. Extended visits give you time to share what you’re experiencing, so Grace and the team can connect the dots between symptoms and underlying causes. Whether that involves stress, life transitions, or other health conditions, the goal is to understand the root issues and create a plan tailored to you.

How is this approach different from conventional mental health care?

Traditional systems often leave only a few minutes for mental health visits, making it challenging to build trust. Membership care changes that. You can schedule longer appointments, follow up easily, and even reach out between visits when you need guidance. 

Because the clinic works closely with local therapists, you also benefit from coordinated care. Your provider and therapist can align strategies, ensuring your treatment plan is practical and consistent. This partnership helps you make progress at your own pace while knowing a team is working with you toward lasting stability and a better quality of life.

You don’t have to face mental health challenges alone. Call the office to schedule a mental health evaluation or use the online scheduling option.
