Meet the Provider

Christopher Holmes, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). He earned his psychiatric nurse practitioner degree from Old Dominion University after completing his nursing education at South University. His background includes several years in critical care nursing as well as experience in correctional healthcare, which has given him the opportunity to care for people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. He believes that mental health care should feel collaborative, comfortable, and free of judgment, and he takes the time to understand each patient as a whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms or a diagnosis. His approach combines compassion and evidence-based treatment with each patient’s individual experiences, needs, and goals. He strives to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves while working together toward meaningful improvements in their mental health and overall well-being. He is also a member of the Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioners (VCNP) and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).
