Geoffrey Sinner, MD

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose main passion is helping people living with mental health concerns regain the ability to function, thrive, and find greater fulfillment in life. I take a holistic approach that considers each person’s biological, psychological, and social needs, while recognizing that positive change is possible through a collaborative relationship.

I believe effective care begins with listening to your concerns, understanding your goals, and building a partnership based on trust and respect. I provide individualized treatment and psychoeducation about brain chemistry, thought processes, and how medication and therapy may support meaningful improvement. I may incorporate psychotropic medications or herbal remedies when appropriate to your needs and preferences.

I begin by learning about your symptoms, history, current needs, and goals, then work with you to develop a treatment plan that supports your quality of life. We will regularly assess your progress, discuss what is and is not working, and make adjustments together so that your care remains responsive to your needs and focused on helping you achieve lasting, meaningful change.

Hello, I am Belinda Walsh, a psychiatric mental health and women’s health nurse practitioner. I have been a nurse for over 25 years, working in public health, obstetrics, and psychiatry.

I love working with people and talking with them. My purpose in the therapeutic relationship is to learn about my patient and their goals. I then share my knowledge so we can develop a treatment plan my patient is comfortable with while staying open to their expectations and desires. My primary goal is to help improve a patient’s life so they can be their best selves.

During an initial appointment, I like my client to tell me why they are seeing me, their concerns, and how these have affected their life. I then learn their history, what they have been through, what has or has not helped in the past, and their goals for treatment. Quality care takes time, and sometimes it takes more than one appointment. I will be as informative as possible, working together on realistic expectations and a treatment approach that fits each client’s life.

My first appointment is often less about checking boxes and more about, “Let me get to know you.” I listen to the patient’s story and strive to understand the whole person.

I completed psychiatry residency at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and earned a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine-VA. I have experience providing psychiatric care in outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and consultation-liaison settings and treating depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, perinatal mental health, and psychotic disorders.

I take a warm, approachable, and nonjudgmental approach and want patients to feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly. I value collaboration and believe patients should be active participants in treatment decisions. I focus on understanding the whole person and prioritize clear communication about diagnosis, treatment options, and recommendations.

I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand symptoms, history, current circumstances, and treatment goals. Together, we develop an individualized, evidence-based plan that may include medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle interventions, or a combination. Follow-up visits assess progress, medication effectiveness and tolerability, and alignment with goals, with treatment adjusted based on response, preferences, and changing needs.
