What I treat

Focus areas

Anxiety

Panic, worry that will not turn off, physical symptoms with no clear cause, avoidance that keeps narrowing life.

Depression

Low mood, loss of interest, sleep and appetite changes, the flat exhaustion that does not lift with rest.

Trauma

The weight of what happened, and how it still shapes sleep, relationships, and the way you move through a day.

OCD

Intrusive thoughts and the rituals built to quiet them, treated with clarity rather than shame.

Mood disorders

Bipolar disorder and other mood conditions, including diagnostic clarification when the picture is not clear.

Family issues

Strain at home, conflict, and stress that no one in the house has been able to name.

How care works

Three steps
01

Book on Headway

Pick a time that works. Headway verifies your insurance and shows your cost before the visit.

02

The first visit

A comprehensive evaluation. What brings you in, your symptoms, history, previous treatments, and the goals you hope to reach. We review the impressions and recommendations together before you leave.

03

Ongoing care

Follow-ups combine therapy and medication management in the same appointment, at whatever cadence fits.

Victoria Gago, PMHNP-BC

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, and other psychiatric conditions.

I believe that every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach is collaborative, holistic, faith-based, and individualized — I take time to explore your history, current challenges, lifestyle, relationships, and goals, then build a plan tailored to you. When appropriate, medication is one component of treatment alongside coping skills, stress management, and therapy.

As a faith-based provider, I respect and support the role that spirituality can play in healing, and I am glad to incorporate it into care when a client wants that. Reaching out for support can be difficult, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.
