Psychiatrist in Virginia | Telehealth Psychiatry
Comprehensive Psychiatric Care for Virginia Patients
Virginia is home to one of the largest concentrations of active-duty military and veteran populations in the United States — and some of the highest rates of PTSD, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions that come with it. Psychiatrist Dr. Heather Hauck is uniquely qualified to serve Virginia patients: she completed her psychiatry residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia, and served as a military physician treating service members and their families firsthand. She now brings that expertise directly to Virginia residents via telehealth — from Northern Virginia’s high-pressure government corridors to the military communities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and beyond.

Quality Telemedicine Psychiatry Care
I had gone to three psychiatrist prior to Dr. Hovav. With those three I was misdiagnosed, treated like a child and not given much thought. However, when I began seeing Dr. Hovav I immediately felt understood and received incredible care. I got onto a medicine that worked immediately and have been feeling better every day ever since. I could not recommend her more!
