Justin Ray on WAVY’s Hampton Roads Show: Mental Health and Psychiatry
PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. Justin Ray, MSN, PMHNP-BC, founder of South Chesapeake Psychiatry, joined WAVY’s Hampton Roads Show to talk about his practice and his goal of being always accessible to clients.
In the segment, Justin explains why he opened South Chesapeake Psychiatry in Chesapeake after more than two decades as a Navy psychiatric nurse practitioner: to give people the kind of unhurried, one-on-one psychiatric care that is hard to find in high-volume settings. He walks through what the practice offers—psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management for adults across Hampton Roads—and the practice’s commitment to availability, so clients can reach their provider directly between appointments instead of waiting weeks for answers.
