Genetic Testing May Hold The Key To Personalized Mental Health Support
Medication is most effective when clients feel informed and actively involved.
Tabitha Gregory, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Finding the right mental health support can feel overwhelming — especially when it comes to medication. Too often, people experience a frustrating cycle of trial and error, not knowing if a prescription will help, hurt, or do nothing at all. At Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, Tabitha Gregory, PMHNP, offers a different kind of experience: one built on partnership, transparency, and science.
Your story shapes your care
Tabitha believes that great psychiatric care isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about understanding the full context of a person's life. That means sitting down together to look at what's working, what isn't, and how your care can evolve as you do. From the first appointment onward, you can expect a nonjudgmental environment where safety, education, and shared decision-making are at the center.
Treatment options are explained in plain language — no jargon, no confusion, so you always know what's being recommended and why. She’ll monitor your progress closely, with thoughtful adjustments over time, to focus on what matters most: improved stability, functioning, and quality of life.
innovative, evidence-based care
One of the most distinctive aspects of working with Tabitha is access to pharmacogenomic testing through GeneSight® and Genomind® — two innovative DNA-based tools that help personalize psychiatric medication plans. These tests analyze how your unique genetics may influence the way your body responds to medication, allowing your clinical provider to tailor treatment with greater precision and significantly reduce the guesswork.
This option is especially valuable for clients who have tried multiple medications without success, experienced significant side effects, or simply want a more personalized, data-driven approach to their mental health care. Rather than starting from scratch with each new prescription, genetic insights give your prescriber a meaningful head start. Tabitha is deeply informed in the risks, benefits, and efficacy of pharmacotherapy, from decades-old SSRIs to medical cannabis usage.
medication and therapy, working together
At Lifeologie Counseling, medication management doesn't operate in a silo. This service is designed to work alongside therapy — not replace it. For many people, combining therapy and medication can improve symptoms, especially when they feel persistent or overwhelming. Tabitha can collaborate with your therapist and even your primary care provider to make sure your care is effective and aligned.
Tabitha's ongoing commitment to self-awareness, self-care, and lifelong learning fuels her ability to provide care that is not only exceptional and ethical, but genuinely hopeful. Her goal is to help you feel empowered — not just stabilized.
