Claudine Passard, NP — Psychiatrist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Claudine!

Feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or emotionally drained? You’re not alone. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions with compassion and evidence-based care. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and feel more balanced.

My focus

Struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or life changes? I work with adolescents and adults to better understand emotions, improve focus, and regain balance. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that builds coping skills, strengthens resilience, and supports progress toward meaningful goals.

My approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to help you understand your symptoms, build effective coping skills, and achieve your goals. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported, empowered, and involved in your care.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication in a calm, supportive, non-judgmental space. I listen closely, reflect what I hear, and provide honest, compassionate feedback. In sessions, I may help you slow down overwhelming thoughts, explore patterns, and gently guide problem-solving together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to mental health care by a desire to help people feel seen, supported, and understood during difficult moments. Early clinical experiences showed me the impact of compassionate, evidence-based treatment. I remain passionate because I believe healing, growth, and meaningful change are always possible.

My goals for you

I see care as a partnership. Together, we set goals that matter to you, whether improving mood, focus, or relationships. As we work, your goals may evolve, and we’ll adjust your plan accordingly. I help you stay motivated by tracking progress, reinforcing strengths, and celebrating meaningful change.

Our first session

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive space where we begin getting to know you and what’s been bringing you in. We’ll talk through your concerns, history, and what you hope to change, without any pressure to share everything at once. Together, we’ll start shaping a plan that feels clear and manageable at your pace.
