“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)

Indeed, she believes that it is in giving that we truly receive.

Dr. R. Neil Johnston grew up in a rural Appalachian county in Virginia and was the first physician in a family of teachers. Fascinated by both science and the arts, he attended William and Mary, where his interests flourished. A college hospital job inspired him to pursue medicine, and part-time work at a children’s psychiatric facility during medical school confirmed his passion for psychiatry. He has since treated diverse populations in inpatient, outpatient, and intensive programs, with special focus on addictions, anxiety, and mood disorders. Helping patients find joy and improved functioning is his calling.

Dr. Johnston’s highest goal is to help patients feel and function better, aiming for relief and ideally full remission. He carefully manages medications, particularly controlled substances, using monitoring and safety protocols to protect patient health. He prioritizes ethical standards, patient confidentiality, and tailored care, incorporating both medication and lifestyle strategies such as nutrition and physical activity. His approach emphasizes understanding each patient as a person, not just a diagnosis. This will include routine clinical checks and frequent follow-up visits meant to protect patient health and welfare.

He begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including review of medical and psychiatric history, recent labs, and relevant records. Communication with other providers and, when appropriate, family members ensures coordinated care. Administrative needs, such as insurance, leave, or social security forms, are addressed during visits. His approach combines thorough assessment, collaboration, and careful follow-up to optimize mental and overall health.
