Hello. I'm Lori Ball with Williamsburg Counseling. As a dually certified Advance Practice Nurse(Nurse Practitioner), I provide comprehensive bio-psycho-social evaluations, prescribe and manage psychotropics. My professional history extends back to 1985 when I entered the world of psychiatry as a young registered nurse. 39 years later I find myself collaborating with patients across the lifespan who graciously share their stories and seek out new solutions to the demands of life. Medications are only one tool. There's so much more, so together lets discover and embrace genuine lasting change for a better tomorrow!

It can be difficult to ask for help when you're struggling with your mental health. I value a relaxed, authentic, humble, and casual approach to mental healthcare in which myself and the patient can have a conversation and make decisions together about their care. My goal is patient comfort, trust, and empowerment.

Choosing treatment for mental health is tough - I'm here to help guide you step by step in the process. With 8 years of experience in the psychiatric nursing field prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I gained tons of meaningful experiences helping treat mental illnesses across the entire lifespan, from toddlers to the elderly. I am here to treat each person holistically, and create a treatment plan that will fit THEM; telling someone to do something they don't agree with never works, right?

Have you been seeing your primary care provider for mental health needs, and not seeing the results you would like? Have you been attending therapy diligently, but not making as much progress as you had hoped? Have you ever been told you have a diagnosis such as bipolar disorder that often requires medication to achieve and maintain wellness? If any of the above apply to you, you may benefit from seeing a psychiatric specialist for medication management. Research shows that for most mental health complaints, patients get the best treatment outcomes from a combination of psychotherapy and medications.

I see a variety of individuals: children, adolescents, and adults. While I have a physical office space, I also do virtual appointments. I also treat some people in nursing home or group home settings. I take time in my appointments to get to know the person, the sources of the symptoms experienced, and explore the various aspects of the individual for a wholistic treatment.

I hope to create an environment where my client can be completely transparent in order for me to provide the best possible care to them. I also hope to build a relationship based off of trust and effective communication. The issues my client would have would either be a certain mood disorder that needs to be addressed or they are struggling with addiction. Their ultimate goal would be to address the problem because they want to live a life where they don’t feel hindered by their diagnosis. In addition, we together will come up with reasonable solutions to help alleviate and manage their diagnoses.

I believe that good mental health is a product of treating the whole person. This approach often includes psychotherapy and sometimes medication, as well as mindfulness meditation, exercise, and a healthy diet. In my experience, a whole-person centered approach can decrease reliance on medications and help the patient achieve a sense of agency in their psychological wellness.
